“…The postpartum decrease in colostrum and milk acidity is consistent with the increase in pH observed by Kráčmar et al (2002) and Argüello et al (2006), and with the decrease in the acidity of transition milk reported by Vilar et al (2008).…”

“…Less information, however, is available on changes in the composition of goat milk during the transition from colostrum to mature milk in the first weeks after delivery. Argüello et al (2006) observed that the protein, immunoglobulin, and fat concentrations in colostrum were high on the first day after parturition and then gradually lowered, whereas the low lactose content in colostrum milk was increasing from the second day after parturition. To our knowledge, no detailed information on the fatty acid (FA) composition of goat colostrum, transition milk and mature milk is available.…”

Changes in the composition of colostrum and milk fatty acids during the first month of lactation of ten 3-years-old White Shorthaired goats fed a winter diet were investigated. Thirty-eight fatty acids (FAs) were identified in the milk fat. Saturated FAs accounted for 67.0% of the total determined FAs in colostrum and 62% at 30 days post partum. Monounsaturated FAs made up 28.2% of the total FAs in colostrum and increased with the progress of lactation at the expense of saturated FAs. The percentage of polyunsaturated FAs varied from 4.4 to 4.8%. The major FAs in colostrum and milk were palmitic and oleic acids, followed by stearic and myristic acids (30.1, 25.3, 11.8, 11.4% and 23.6, 30.3, 13.6, 8.6% in colostrum and milk 30 days post partum, respectively). The levels of palmitic and myristic acids in colostrum were higher than in mature milk, whereas the levels of capric, stearic and oleic acids were lower. The medium-chain FA (caprylic, capric, lauric) content increased from 8.7% of FAs in colostrum to 11.1% on the fourth day of lactation. These acids are efficient antimicrobials, thus may contribute to the protection of young goats from microbial pathogens.

“…Argüello et al (2006) concluded that the chemical and physical characteristics of colostrum in terms of IgG and nutrients were slightly affected by litter size of kids and lactation number of dam. Higher milk intake by kids of D M than other three groups during first fortnight may be due to lesser degree of pain and stress just after disbudding.…”

To assess the performance of kids under different disbudding pre-medication regimes, 24 kids of 14-15 days were randomly designated as D 0 (control, no medication), D L (local anaesthetics, 2% lignocaine, 1 ml/bud as cornual nerve block), D M (non-steroidal analgesic, meloxicam with 0.25 mg/kg body weight by I/M route) and D L + M (both lignocaine and meloxicam) with six in each group. First fortnight after hot-iron disbudding, ADG was higher (P < 0.05) in D M than control. FCR was significantly (P < 0.05) better in D M and D L over control. PER was non-significantly higher in D M , D L and D L + M over control by 24.86%, 22.70% and 17.84%, respectively. Hb and PCV was higher (P < 0.01) in D M followed by D L , D L + M and D 0 . Neutrophil, lymphocyte, eosinophil and basophil counts were higher in D L than other treatment groups. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio was higher (P < 0.01) in D M than other treatment groups. Effect of disbudding pre-medication on serum biochemistry like glucose, total protein, albumin and globulin was significantly affected (P < 0.01) by pre-disbudding treatments among different groups. During entire study period, serum cortisol was lower (P < 0.01) in D M , T 3 was higher in D 0 and T 4 was higher in D L than other groups; however, TSH was lower (P < 0.01) in D M than other three groups. It was concluded that non-steroidal analgesic-medicated kids had better performance and disbudding distress persists up to 15 days irrespective of different pre-disbudding medication regime.

“…The immunoglobulin levels found in our study (IgG, IgM, IgA) are in agreement with the results reported in the relevant literature. Linzell and Peaker (1974) and Arguello et al (2006aArguello et al ( , 2008 reported that the fat content of colostrum increased after 24 hours postpartum and attributed this to the higher levels of fat in the remaining milk as a result of the high amounts of milk removed from mammary glands. The change in the lactose content of colostrum is similar to the change in fat and protein contents.…”
