Similar to the dairy cow, five critical control points during the transition period that need to be addressed to prevent periparturient problems in the doe are: 1. maximizing dry matter intake; 2. minimizing negative energy and protein balance; 3. stimulation of rumen papillae development; 4. maintaining calcium homeostasis and 5. minimizing imm...
1 cze 2011 · In goats, feed restriction during the last third of pregnancy reduced weight gain, increased body reserve mobilization and increased the time they spent looking for feed.
1 lip 2011 · Studies in sheep and goats feed restricted in early pregnancy showed no modification in offspring reactivity up until 5 mo of age (Hernandez et al., 2009; Simitzis et al., 2009). Modifications in offspring born to late-pregnancy feed-restricted dams have never been investigated.
15 maj 2012 · Long-term effects of maternal feed restriction during the last third of pregnancy on growth, metabolism and behavior of female kids, with a focus on feeding behavior and emotional reactivity, were studied in goats.
15 maj 2012 · We examined long-term effects of maternal feed restriction during pregnancy in goats. We observed a reduced growth but an increased feed intake in female offspring. Emotional reactivity was not modified in goats born to feed restricted dams. The HPA axis reactivity was greater in goats born to restricted dams than in controls.
29 kwi 2021 · Maternity and pregnancy involve significant biopsychosocial changes in the lives of women. Pregnant women undergo hormonal changes, such as increased cortisol, the effects of which include fatigue, disruptive sleep, anxiety, and poor memory (Ziomkiewicz et al., 2019).
Dairy goats can markedly vary feeding behaviour in response to factors such as restricted periods of access; however, further studies are needed to address the efficiency of production.
