摘要：

Total assayable cortisol in plasma was highly correlated (r = 0.97) with physiologically active free cortisol in plasma after routine management procedures in 1-to 3-weeks-old goats. Transport of adult goats caused significant increases (P < 0.001) in free cortisol in saliva and in free and total cortisol in plasma. No difference (P > 0.05) between concentrations of free cortisol in saliva and in plasma was apparent before or after transport. The results demonstrated that the salivary cortisol method is a useful measure of stress in adult goats, and that the relationship between free and total cortisol in plasma, and the adrenocortical response to transport, appear to be similar in sheep and goats.
