Abstract :The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of eutocia and dystocia on blood gas and Apgar scores in Aleppo goat kids. A total of 40 kids were used in the study. Kids were divided into 2 groups according to the type of birth. The first group of the study insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Group 1, n=20); consisted of kids born as a result of eutocia, and the second group of the study insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Group 2, n=20); was formed as a result of dystocia. Apgar scores insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(appearance, pulse, grimace, attitude, respiration); were evaluated at 0, 5, and 15 minutes postpartum from kids in both study groups, and blood samples were taken from blood gas injectors and blood gas profiles insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(pH, pCO2, pO2, HCO3); were obtained. The obtained data were analyzed with Mann-Whitney-U and Friedman post-hoc bonferroni. Spearman correlation coefficients were calculated to determine the relationships between measurements. A statistically significant difference was observed between the groups in the Apgar score at 0, 5 and 15 minutes and in the blood gas measurements of pH, pO2, pCO2, and HCO3 at 0, 5 and 15 minutes insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. A significant time-dependent difference in Apgar score value was noted in both groups insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. There was a significant time-dependent difference in pH, pCO2, pO2, and HCO3 values in both groups insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. In Group 1; A significant correlation was found between Apgar and pCO2 and HCO3 values insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. In Group 2; only a significant correlation was recorded between Apgar and HCO3 values insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r=-0.464; p<0.05);. As a result, a significant difference was observed between the mode of delivery and the blood gases evaluated and measured by the Apgar score. It was concluded that the evaluation of Apgar score and blood gases together would be more successful in neonatal interventions.
