SERUM LEVELS OF GASTRIN AND PEPSINOGEN IN MARWARI GOAT

摘要

Serum gastrin and pepsinogen estimations were carried out in the Marwari goat viz. healthy, drought affected and haemonchus infected. The overall mean values of serum gastrin and pepsinogen in healthy Marwari goat were 103.64± 11.0 pg/ml and 155.22±11.6 mU tyrosine, respectively. In the drought affected and haemonchus infected goats a significant (p<=0.05) increase was observed in the mean values of both the parameters when compared with those of healthy stock. The sampling time did not affect thegastrin and pepsinogen levels in present study.
