Goats are extremely prone to many metabolic diseases that lead to disturbance milk production and their general health. The purpose of this paper was to highlight the particularities of hematological profile Carpathian goat breed according to age and physiological status. The study was conducted in a farm in Poiana Aiudului area, Livezile county of Alba, during July 2020 - March 2021. Blood samples were collected from the jugular vein into EDTA bottles in the period preceding the mount, at the beginning of the gestation and postpartum period. Blood samples were transported in refrigerated conditions (4 degrees C) to the USAMV Cluj-Napoca, Veterinary Medicine Laboratory. The hematological profile was structured in the following elements: White blood cells (WBC-10^9/l), Lymphocyte (LYM- 10^9/l), Monocyte (MON-10^9/l), Neutrophils (NEU-10^9/l), Lymphocyte percentage (LY-%), Monocyte percentage (MO-%), Neutrophils percentage (NE-%), Red blood cells (RBC-10^12/l), Hemoglobin (HGB-g/l), Hematocrit (HCT- %), Mean corpuscular volume (MCV- ʄl), Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH-pg), Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC-g/dl), Red cell distribution width (RDWc-%). The results obtained were statistically processed, being beneficial in making faster and more efficient decisions to ensure the welfare and health of goats.
