Feeding raw garlic to dairy goats: Effects on blood metabolites and lactation performance

Bu çalışma çiğ sarımsağın (GAR; 0, 30, 50 ve 70 g/kg DM) sütçü keçilerde metabolizmaya ve süt üretimine etkisini araştırmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Sekiz sütçü keçi (başlangıç ağırlıkları 59±1 kg) 8 haftalık tekrarlanan 4×4 Latin kare dizayna uygun olarak rastgele dağıtılmışlardır. Her bir deneysel periyot ilk 12 günü diyet adaptasyonu ve 2 günü veri toplama olmak üzere toplam 14 gün sürdü. Çalışma sonuçları sarımsak ile beslemenin yem tüketimi ve vücut ağılık artışı açısından fark oluşturmadığını gösterdi. Sarımsak ile besleme serum glikoz konsantrasyonunu artırırken kan esterlenmemiş yağ asitleri (NEFA), β-hidroksibütrat (BHB), total trigliserid, total protein ve albümin konsantrasyonlarında bir değişime neden olmadı. Sarımsak ile besleme uygulamasının ayrıca süt ve süt proteini üretimi ile laktoz ve yağ düzeltilmiş süte bir etkisinin olmadığı gözlemlendi. Ancak sarımsak uygulaması süt yağı miktarını önemli oranda düşürdü (P

Sütçü keçilerin çiğ sarımsak ile beslenmesi: Kan metabolitleri ve laktasyon performansına etkileri

The study were conducted to evaluating the effects of raw garlic (GAR; 0, 30, 50 and 70 g/kg of DM) on metabolic status and milk production of dairy goats. Eight dairy goats (59±1 kg initial live weight) were randomly assigned according to a repeated 4×4 Latin square design over an 8-week period. Each experimental period lasted 14 d with the first 12 days used for diet adaptation and 2 days for data collection. Results of this study showed that there were no differences in feed intake or body weight changes during the experimental period due to garlic supplementation. Also feeding garlic increased serum glucose concentration (P<0.05), however no effects of garlic supplementation on blood non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), total triglycerides, total protein, and albumin concentration were observed. In addition production of milk, milk protein, and lactose and fat corrected milk showed no treatment effects. However, milk fat content was decreased significantly (P<0.05) by garlic supplementation. The results of this study indicate that potency of garlic to increase serum glucose concentration can play a role in improvement the energy status of dairy goats.
