The aim of this study was to establish normal electrocardiographic (ECG) values for standard lead II in West African Dwarf goats (WAD) and Red Sokoto Goats (RS). Electrocardiographic study of 11 healthy WAD and 11 RS goats 10 months to 2 years of age was carried out with EDAN 10 Veterinary Electrocardiographic equipment. Record from Lead II showed the heart rate varied from 87 to 175 beats/min with a mean of 149.55 ± 51.13 beats/min for RS goats; and 142-272 with a mean of 171.5 ± 39.7 for WAD goats.
