This study examines the influence of favorable and adverse environmental factors on the physiological and metabolic processes in goats raised under varying ecological conditions. The research emphasizes the importance of hematological and biochemical analyses in assessing the functional state of the organism. Morphological parameters of blood, including erythrocyte and leukocyte counts and hemoglobin levels, were measured alongside serum protein concentrations and their fractions, such as albumins and globulins. The findings highlight how environmental stressors, including technogenic pressures, heavy metal exposure, and variations in water, soil, and plant quality, affect metabolic regulation and overall health in goats. The results provide valuable insights for optimizing animal husbandry practices and improving resilience to ecological challenges.
