Histological study of erythroid lineage in the bone marrow of local adult goat (Caprus Hircus)‎

Abstract EN

This study was conducted to investigate the normal maturation process of erythriod lineage in bone marrow of adult Iraqi goat.

Five healthy adult male goats aged 26-34 months were chosen for this study.

A simple technique used for obtaining marrow from goats, employs sedation xylazine hydrochloride 0.1 mg/kg body weight.

Skin incision was made over the iliac crest.

Marrow was aspirated with a syringe and smears were made directly.

Erythropoiesis in the bone marrow of an adult goat included a successive morphological alteration resulting in production of erythrocytes.

The lineage of erythroid of bone marrow of adult goat comprises; Rubriblast , Prorubricytes, Rubricytes, Metarubricytes, and Reticulocyte.

The final cellular lineage of the erythropoiesis bone marrow of the goat was the formation of non-nucleated erythrocytes.
