Red blood cell potassium types of angora goats (Capra hircus).
Two distinct K phenotypes with normal frequency distribution curves were found and identified as low (LK) and high (HK) potassium types in the red blood cells of 748 Angora goats. The division between the two types was arbitrarily assigned at 24.9 meq/l. Of the two KRBC level types; the LK type was predominating, its curve showed evidence of leptokurtosis and was negatively skewed. The HK type had a curve slightly mesokurtic and the population was normal with respect to skewness.
