Abstract

The reference values ​​of the biochemical indicators of renal and hepatic functionality were estimated in Saanen and Boer breed goats of different sexes, ages and productive statuses from livestock establishments from Las Colonias Department of the province of Santa Fe, Argentina. The estimated values showed discrepancies with respect those reported in the literature. The results obtained contribute to the knowledge of the reference values of kidney and liver functional indicators of the goat breeds in the central region of the province of Santa Fe, Argentina, providing relevant and unpublished data for the region.
