Effect of insemination time on multiple kidding and dam's blood constituents in Beetal X Assam local goat

The present study was conducted to find out the effect of insemination time on multiple kidding and dam's blood constituents in Beetal x Assam local goat. Animals were allocated into four equal groups on the basis of insemination carried out at 24, 30, 36 and 42 h after onset of oestrus as Group-I, Group-II, Group-III and Group-IV, respectively. The number of kids born was maximum in Group-III followed by Group-IV. However, the difference between the two groups was non-significant. The variation of different haematological constituents obtained among different groups of goats was within the physiological range.
