The aim of this study was to evaluate the stress and some mineral levels in goats affected with incomplete cervical dilatation. Serum cortisol, calcium and phosphorus concentrations were estimated in incomplete cervical dilatation (n = 6) and normal delivered cases (n = 6). The serum cortisol concentration was significantly higher 179.17 ±8.57 nmol/L (P<0.05) and 54.17±3.70nmol/L(P<0.05) in incomplete cervical dilatation and normal cases. There was no significant difference in the concentrations of calcium and phosphorus in incomplete cervical dilatation group i. e. 8.74±0.54mg/dL(P<0.05) and 6.16±0.48 mg/dL (P<0.05) and in normally delivered goats 9.53±0.5 mg/dL(P<0.05) and 6.60±0.54 mg/dL (P<0.05). These results have shown that the stress caused by incomplete cervical dilatation was higher and a non-significant difference was in the calcium and phosphorus levels.
