Milk Quality of Dairy Goat by Giving Feed Supplement as Antioxidant Source

Abstract

Free radical levels can be higher than the level of endogenous antioxidants in the body so that uncomfortable conditions in the body of dairy goats could happen. To anticipate this uncomfortable conditions will be given feed supplement (FS) as source of antioxidants (AOX). FS contain mixture pineapple rind meal and antioxidant minerals (AOXM) each 25 ppm Zn and 10 ppm Cu. This experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of feed supplements as antioxidant source on milk quality of dairy goats. Sixteen Etawah dairy goats in the second lactation were used in the experiment that conducted using randomized block design with 4 treatments and 4 replicates. The treatments were R0 (grass + concentrate), R1 (R0 + FS containing 0.04 % AOX), R2 (R0 + FS containing 0.06% AOX), R3 (R0 + FS containing 0.08 % AOX). The data collected were analyzed using Anova. The result of phytochemicals analysis indicated that feed supplement contained flavonoid, polyphenols, sesqiuterpen, mopnoterpen, steroids, quinones and saponins. The results of study showed that there were difference (p<0.05) among treatments on blood and milk cholesterol and milk lactose, but there were no difference (P>0.05) on milk yield, milk fat, milk protein and milk antioxidant. The conclusion of this study was the feed supplements containing 0.08 AOX produced the best response to milk quality of dairy goats.

Milk somatic cells, factors influencing their release, future prospects, and practical utility in dairy animals: An overview

“…It is clear that current knowledge is not conclusive regarding the amount of Vitamin E needed to maintain milk quality in terms of SCC or oxidation [ 118 ]. Finally, despite the large number of studies describing the beneficial role of various antioxidants on the quality of milk and its composition, still many researchers reported that dietary antioxidants had no effect on milk protein, lactose, fat, total solids, and non-fat solids of cow’s milk [ 119 ] or goat’s milk [ 120 ].…”

Yucca Schidigera İçeren Ticari Kedi Mamaları ile Beslenen Sağlıklı Erkek Kedilerde Sperma Özellikleri ve Kardiyak Enzim Analizleri

“…There are studies demonstrating the presence of a cholesterol-lowering effect in goats receiving Yucca schidigera powder compared to the control group [17] . Mardalena et al [18] reported that Yucca schidigera powder possesses an anti-oxidant function and this lowered cholesterol by preventing lipid oxidation through its ability to capture free radicals and radical peroxy salts. In this study, while the commercial food containing yucca extract was not seen to have a triglyceride-and cholesterol-lowering effect in cats, other studies suggest that the use of the herb may originate from differences in dosage.…”

“…This can affect the quality and health value of animal products (e.g. in Mardalena et al ; Table ) . Without describing the metabolic pathway in digestion, reports of a quality improvement in milk of dairy goats due to a higher ratio of unsaturated fatty acids after curcumin supplement exist .…”

“…in Mardalena et al; Table 1). 72 Without describing the metabolic pathway in digestion, reports of a quality improvement in milk of dairy goats due to a higher ratio of unsaturated fatty acids after curcumin supplement exist. 73 Experiments with quails showed a decreased lipid content of eggs after curcumin supplementation.…”
