Low winter temperatures in some regions have a negative impact on animal performance, behavior, and welfare. The objective of this study was to evaluate some physiological, metabolic, and lactational responses of dairy goats exposed to cold …
Heat stress and mastitis are major economic issues in dairy production. The objective was to test whether goat’s mammary gland immune response to E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) could be conditioned by heat stress (HS). Changes in milk composition …
Heat stress causes significant losses in milk production, and nutritional strategies are needed to alleviate its effects. Endogenous carnitine synthesis is also reduced by heat stress (HS). Carnitine plays a central role in fatty acid oxidation and …
The objective was to identify possible biomarkers of cold stress in blood of dairy goats. Eight lactating Murciano-Granadina dairy goats (2.13 ± 0.36 L/d; 70 ± 2 DIM; 41.75 ± 2.02 kg body weight) were maintained under 2 environmental conditions …
