Short summary
The influences of breed, sex and age on seasonal fluctuations in haematological variables (HVs) of goat kids were evaluated. Breed and age variations in HVs of goats were more pronounced during the hot-dry season. The seasonal fluctuations in HVs were more dramatic in kids of Sahel goats, and in younger and male kids of both breeds. Haematological changes induced by the cold-dry season were clearly distinct from those of hot-dry and rainy seasons.
