Goats are ubiquitous, including in hot and dry regions, while also being very sensitive to climate fluctuations, expressed in temperature differences. This affects their productivity and milk quality. Adaptation to heat requires high energy costs, affects "neurohumoral" regulation and is accompanied by oxidative stress with the increased production of free radicals.

The experiment was carried out on twenty clinically healthy crossbred sows (Yorkshire Landrace). Twenty sows were allocated to one of two groups: (1) 1 day after weaning (group 1, = 10) and (2) 8 days after weaning (group 2, = 10).

Significant positive and negative correlations were found between TAWSA and BC parameters of pigs' blood for group 3: very high in the case of total protein (TP) (-0.
