Abstract
Objective: To assess the anion gap (AG) validity in prediction the goat’s fertility before
parturition. Methods: This study was carried out on two groups (20/20, aged 4–6 years and
weighted 30–43 kg) of pluriparous pregnant Baladi goats. Animals were subjected to clinical
examination, blood sampling to assess serum biochemical parameters in correlation with
utrasonographic assessment of uterine horn involution (UTI) and placental dropping time after
kidding. Unpaired student t–test was used to detect the significance of differences (P
