Abstract
Aim:
The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of
risingtemperature on the metabolic as well as the reproductive
performance of the black Bengal goat.
Materials and Methods: A total 27 numbers of non-pregnant
black Bengal goats of the same parity comprised the experimental
animals. The selected goats were randomly assigned to 3 groups of
9 each, maintaining uniformity in body weight (average 14-18 kg).
Goats in Group-I were kept between the temperature ranges of
35-40°C, in Group-II between 20°Cand 27°C, and Group-III were kept
under loose housing system and serve as a control. Goats in all
the groups were bred naturally. Blood was collected prior to
feeding in the morning on the day 1 (estrus), 20, 45, 90, and 135,
expected day of parturition and also 2 days after parturition from
goats of all the three groups.
Results: It was observed that the level of plasma estrogen
decreased (p ˂0.05)
up to day 45 of gestation, then after increased up to 135 days of
gestation and was maximum on expected day of parturition which was
significantly (p˂0.05)
higher than all the values. Plasma progesterone level increased
from day 20 and was the highest on day 90 and then decreased
significantly (p˂0.05)
on expected date of parturition. The luteinizing hormone value
decreased significantly (p˂0.05)
on expected day of parturition and day 2 after parturition in all
the groups. Follicle stimulating hormone concentration showed a
significant (p˂0.05)
decrease from day 1 to 2 days after parturition in all the groups.
The plasma triiodothyronine (T3) level did
not vary between and within the treatment groups at any stage of
the experiment. The plasma thyroxine (T4)
level varied significantly (p˂0.01)
within and (p˂0.05)
between groups at all stages of reproduction. A significant
(p<0.05) variation in plasma cortisol concentration in all the
groups increased significantly until the day of parturition and
dropped significantly (p<0.01) in 2 days after parturition in all
the groups.
Conclusion: The present experiment revealed that rise in
temperature has no any deleterious effect on the metabolic as well
as the reproductive hormonal concentrationat variousstages of
gestation inblack Bengal goat.
Keywords: black Bengal goat, estrus,
hormonal profile, parturition, temperature variation.
