“…Our analysis of plasma metabolite levels showed a similar trend in the two experimental groups, confirming that the type of dietary fat did not affect periparturient metabolic response in the goats. Values of plasma glucose, BHBA, NEFA, cholesterol and urea both before and after kidding were comparable to those reported by other studies of dairy goats (Stella et al, 2007;Celi et al, 2008). The trends in the levels of liver enzymes over time were unaffected by treatment both before and after kidding.…”

The goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of dietary protected fish oil (FO) on phenotypic variation in blood, milk leukocytes, and some productive and metabolic parameters in periparturient dairy goats. About 12 Alpine goats, selected from a larger group of second-parity animals, were fed from 15 days before kidding until the 15th day of lactation with the same basal diet that had been supplemented with either 47 g/head per day of FO or 47 g/head per day hydrogenated palm oil (PO). Dry matter intake, live body weight (LBW), body condition score (BCS), and productive performance were evaluated in 2 weeks after kidding. On days 15, 7, and 2 before kidding and days 2, 7, and 15 after kidding, plasma samples were collected for evaluation of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, non-esterified fatty acids, glucose, beta-hydroxybutyrate, cholesterol, and urea levels. White blood cell and blood leukocyte subsets were counted in whole blood samples on the kidding day, as well as at 1, 4, and 15 days after kidding. In addition, milk somatic cell count, intramammary infection (IMI), and milk leukocyte subsets were evaluated on days 4 and 15 after kidding. No differences were observed in dry matter intake and BCS, while LBW was higher in FO-fed animals. Milk production and composition, plasma metabolites, and liver enzymes were similar in both experimental groups. Blood CD4 positive cells increased constantly ( P 5 0.05) in FO-fed group, while CD8 and CD14 cell counts significantly increased 4 days after kidding ( P , 0.01). Milk leukocyte subsets showed a significant ( P , 0.01) decrease in PO-fed group and a nonsignificant increase ( P 5 0.34) in FO-fed group, despite the presence of coagulase negative staphylococci IMI. The results of the productive performance evaluation agreed with those of many other studies, which did not find any significant differences between dairy goats fed diets enriched with FO or PO supplements. The administration of FO to dairy goats in transition appeared to affect the variation in blood leukocytes with a constant increase in CD4-and CD8-positive cells in comparison with a PO fat-supplemented diet.

“…Goats supplemented with yeast probiotics show improvements in milk production but the results are quite variable [15][16][17][18][19][20]. These studies indicated that stronger responses to prebiotic or probiotic treatments were achieved with animals that were challenged by multiple factors such as heat [45] and feed quality [17].…”

“…In monogastric livestock, probiotic and prebiotic feed additives mitigate pathogen issues in a number of ways including establishing beneficial bacteria in the intestinal tract [8,9], improving the ability of the mucosa to withstand infection [10,11,12], improving the defense system [8,9], binding toxins [3,4,13] and interfering with pathogen colonization sites [3,4,14]. Probiotics can improve milk production and rumen function in goats [15][16][17][18][19][20][21] with a 280-head commercial dairy herd were used in the study. The goats were housed in an open stall barn with ventilation and had continuous access to water.…”

The present study aims to investigate whether the disease complex for Haemorrhagic Enteritis (HE) in goats during the winter months is the same as described for Jejunal Haemorrhage Syndrome (JHS) in cattle. The further goal is to determine whether prebiotic and probiotic management strategies developed for JHS in cattle alleviate HE in goats. The clinical, necropsy and microbiologic findings were evaluated for goat cases during a natural HE outbreak. Bacterial pathogens were identified using selective media, biochemical tests, latex agglutination tests and DNA microarray. Feed components were evaluated for mycotoxigenic fungi and mycotoxins. Common clinical signs included stary look, grinding of teeth, an odd twisting of the neck when standing, hind-limb paralysis, rumen stasis, no faecal pellets, profuse drooling and a 50% drop in milk production. A prebiotic/probiotic treatment resolved the symptoms in 14 of 28 goats, but new cases continued to develop. The most common morphologic diagnosis at necropsy was severe jejunitis with intraluminal haemorrhage or blood clots confirming HE. The corn silage contained mycotoxigenic fungi and mycotoxins. There were mixtures of Shiga toxin -producing Escherichia coli (STEC) isolated from the jejunum. The probiotic and prebiotic acted as anti-adhesive agents for STEC colonization in vitro. The prebiotic also acted as a mycotoxin binder in vitro. Removing the mouldy corn silage stopped the mycotoxicosis, but did not correct production losses. Adding a prebiotic or probiotic significantly increased milk production and body condition, but also decreased somatic cell counts. Results confirm that the disease complex for HE in dairy goats consuming mouldy feeds includes mycotoxins and STEC infection. The study also supports the use of prebiotics and probiotics to alleviate the morbidity and production losses associated with the mycotoxicosis.

“…The lack of effect of S. cerevisae on plasma levels of glucose, lactate, and urea-N is in agreement with the results of Stella et al (2007) and Yalçm et al (2011) in dairy goats and cows, respectively. Lascano et al (2012) observed that glucose concentrations tended to increase quadratically with increasing doses of S. cerevisae (S. cerevisiae CBS 493.94; 1 x 10 10 to 5 x 10 10 cfu/d) in dairy heifers fed low starch diets (16.7% of DM).…”

2017 I II IV AgradecimientosLlegar hasta este momento de finalización de la Tesis Doctoral ha sido una carrera de fondo que me ha acompañado a lo largo de mi maduración tanto a nivel profesional como personal, acompañándome en la mochila en numerosos momentos clave de mi vida.Todo empezó nada más presentar mi proyecto fin de carrera, cuando Carlos de Blas, (que de manera sutil, o quizá involuntaria, ha tenido la capacidad de llevarme a lo que soy ahora) comentó "dos artículos más y ya tienes la Tesis". Si bien en aquel momento me pareció una idea imposible, en el fondo se quedó plantada una semilla que comenzó a germinar el día en el que Pedro Medel me encargó realizar el estado del arte del proyecto de investigación que, con el soporte de COPESE, ha dado lugar a este trabajo.Recuerdo perfectamente aquel primer momento en el que visitamos la granja de terneras por primera vez y Javier Peinado dejó en mis manos el control de los ensayos.Llegar hasta el final de este proyecto hubiera sido imposible sin el apoyo tanto de mis compañeros de Imasde en aquellos momentos (Álvaro, Silvia, Jaime, Nacho y Fran), como de David del Pico, Marcos Nieto y Alfonso Fuentetaja de COPESE y, por supuesto, los profesores, investigadores y doctorandas del Departamento de Producción Animal I de la Universidad de León (Loli, Mariajo, Marisa, Eugenia, Silvia, Alfonso..) por su apoyo tanto en granja como en matadero, y especialmente en laboratorio.Quedan atrás muchos días de frío, me atrevería a decir casi siberiano, donde antes de empezar los ensayos algún día nos encontramos a Javier Rincón descongelando tuberías a soplete; aquellos momentos en los que una ternera despistada nos hacía correr los San Fermines por los pasillos, o los madrugones para poder realizar los controles en matadero. Son muchas las anécdotas que quedan atrás, y guardo con buen sabor de boca, un poco de nostalgia, pero especialmente satisfacción por todo lo vivido y aprendido, junto con el sincero agradecimiento a todos los que me han acompañado en este camino. En este proceso de aprendizaje, cabe sin duda la mención especial a mis directores, Pedro y Loli que, sin prisa pero sin pausa, me han impulsado a finalizar este trabajo.Los trabajos realizados en el marco de esta Tesis Doctoral han sido promovidos por Comercial Pecuaria Segoviana, SL (Coca, Segovia, Spain), y llevados a cabo en su granja experimental de terneros de cebo. Este proyecto ha sido financiado por el Ministerio de Industria Turismo y Comercio mediante el programa PROFIT (FIT060000200511) y el Centro para el Desarrollo Tecnológico Industrial (CDTI; IDI-20050617 RESUMENEl objetivo de esta Tesis ha sido estudiar la influencia de diferentes estrategias nutricionales sobre el control de la acidosis en terneros de cebo en un contexto experimental diseñado para representar el manejo nutricional predominante en España. Para ello, se llevaron a cabo tres ensayos experimentales que se describen a continuación.El primer experimento se diseñó para evaluar el efecto de la inclusión de malato, administra...
