Abstract: Goat is one of the most important species in livestock industry. Literature pertaining to the estimation of different hematological parameters are very scanty in general and almost not available in Assam hill goat in particular, hence the present investigation was carried out to establish a baseline on different hematological parameters viz. hemoglobin (Hb), Total leucocyte count (TLC), Total erythrocyte count (TEC) and packed cell volume (PCV) of Assam hill goat at various age groups viz. day old, 3 month and 6 month. Eighteen (18) numbers of goats divided into 3 (three) groups, consisting of 6 animals in each group according to their age were utilized for the present study. The hemoglobin level was found to be decreased from day old to 6 months age groups. The average hemoglobin level in day old, 3 months and 6 months age group were 9.45±0.30, 8.37±0.14, and 8.13±0.32 gm respectively. The TLC level was found to be increased from day old to 3 months old age group and thereafter it showed a decrease value at 6 months old age group. The average TLC level in day old, 3 months and 6 months were found to be 13.19±1.41, 22.49±1.34and 16.59±0.93 Th./cmm respectively. The TEC level was found to be increased from day old to 6 months age group. The average TEC level in day old, 3 months and 6 months age groups were 9.71±0.31, 14.48±0.76 and 14.81±0.51 m/cmm. Respectively. The PCV level was found to be decreased from day old to 3 months age groups and thereafter it showed a increased level at 6 months old age group. The average values of PCV in day old, 3 months and 6 months age groups were 33.65 ± 0.93%, 23.28±1.58% and 24.55±1.37% respectively.
