A doe should be at least 80 lbs before breeding. When it comes to breeding, itâs not so much age as it is size. Most of your standard sized dairy goats will need to make the weight of about 80 lbs before they are bred. A healthy, well-fed doe should make this weight by about 8 months. Some people like to wait until they are about 1 1/2 years old before breeding but it isnât necessary. I have seen no reduction in growth between breeding 8 month old does and 1 1/2 year old goats.
Definition. A hemoglobin test measures the amount of hemoglobin in your blood. Hemoglobin is a protein in your red blood cells that carries oxygen to your body's organs and tissues and transports carbon dioxide from your organs and tissues back to your lungs.
HEMOGLOBIN PROCEDURE. Intended for the Quantitative Determination of Cyanmethemoglobin in the blood SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION. Hemoglobin is a red pigmented protein which serves to transport oxygen from the lungs to body tissues. It gives blood the characteristic red color. In anemia, hemoglobin levels are abnormally low and this condition suggests an underlying disease. Miale (1) has described the various anemias. Polycythemia and erythrocytosis increase hemoglobin levels. The EAGLE HEMOGLOBIN PROCEDURE is based on the determination of cyanmethemoglobin, which has become the internationally adopted method (2). principle Ferricyanide oxidizes oxyhemoglobin to methemoglobin, and cyanide converts methemoglobin to cyanmethemoglobin (3).
