The research involved 12 colts monitored from </em><em>birth up to one year of age. Measurements of vital parameters were recorded daily in the morning, yielding mean </em><em>values of 36.82 ± 1.03 °C for temperature, 62.03 ± 14.73 beats per minute for pulse rate, and 32.38 ± 12.4 cycles </em><em>per minute for respiratory rate. Descriptive statistical methods, including mean, standard deviation, minimum, </em><em>and maximum values, were utilized to analyze the collected data using Graphpad Prism version 8.0. The findings </em><em>suggest that these established physiological values should be considered alongside other reported metrics when </em><em>clinicians conduct physical examinations and interpret physiological data for colts. This study contributes </em><em>essential reference points for veterinary practice and enhances understanding of normal physiological ranges in </em><em>this species.</em></p>}, journal={Nigerian Journal of Animal Production}, author={Abdullahi, M. and Hussaini, M. and Wunti, Z.
