Influence of body condition score on the metabolic and reproductive status of adult female Kacang goats

Abstract: This study aimed to determine the influence of body condition score (BCS) on the metabolic and reproductive status of adult female Kacang goats (Capra hircus). Twenty-three local doe goats aged 3-6 years, which were not pregnant and had BCS ranging from 1-3 on a scale of 1-5, were studied. Blood samples were collected before slaughtering for biochemical analyses. After the goats were killed, the ovaries were collected for follicle and corpus luteum (CL) examination. Ovarian follicular fluid was aspirated for b… Show more

“…Numbers Effect of Supplementation with Dehydrated Cucumis melo and Copper on Reproductive Performance of Goats on Rangeland assume a synergism between cantaloupe and Cu, benefiting the ovulatory rate and decreasing the embryo losses. Additional energy intake has been shown to increase body energy stores, essentials for reproductive performance (Widiyono et al 2020). However, BCS in our experimental animals did change with the feed supplementation (average 2.1±0.1, p>0.05).…”

“…As previously described [ 7 ], animals with both DOP diets showed significantly lower CK values compared to controls, which could be related to reduced muscular damage and oxidative muscular stress [ 34 ]. The significantly lower bilirubin concentrations in DOP groups compared to the control group could be related to improved hepatic clearance of this analyte and better bile duct function in these animals [ 35 ]. Contrary to results in early lactation [ 7 ], there were no differences between diets concerning glucose or total calcium concentrations in late lactation, which could be explained by differences in the homeostasis of these biomarkers between stages.…”

“…The scoring was based on the amount of muscle and fat around the vertebrae. Scoring is performed in goats using a BCS ranging from 1.0 to 5.0 (Widiyono et al, 2020). Ideally, the BCS of goats was 2.56 ± 0.13 for a higher pregnancy rate (Nawito et al, 2015).…”
