ABSTRACT
Plasma progesterone and cortisol levels were estimated at late stage of pregnancy and postpartum period in 6 Barki ewes and 11 Baladi goats. During the 15 days, pre partum low values of progesterone were detected with nonsignificant variation in both ewes and goats. However, during postpartum period [2-5 weeks], low values of progesterone were estimated with significant [P <0.05] between ewes and goats. Plasma cortisol concentration were significantly increased during the 15 days than 30 days pre-partum period for both ewes [p <0.05] and [p <0.01] goats. In the meantime, there is no significant variation in between ewes and goats in cortisol concentration during this period. A significant [p <0.05] increase in cortisol concentrations during the first week after birth for both ewes and goats was recorded. Moreover, significant variations [p <0.05] in cortisol concentration between ewes and goats were observed during pre-partum [30 days] and postpartum period [1-5 weeks]
