Abstract

Twelve lactating ewes and their 12 lambs were used to study the influence of the ethno-veterinary plant, Spondias mombin (hog plum) on colostrum and mature milk composition as well as lamb weights of African dwarf (WAD) ewes over a 12 week lactation period. The ewes were assigned to two treatments groups: T1 and T2, representing the control and treated ewes, respectively. Spondias mombin L was fed to ewes in treated (T2) group immediately after parturition at the rate of 1 kg/ewe/day. Colostrum was sampled on day three post partum, while mature milk sampling was done bi weekly. Lamb weights were taken at weekly intervals. Results showed that colostrum of ewes in the treated group had significantly higher (p control group. Percentage milk lactose from treated ewes at week two was 3.98±0.05 and was significantly higher (p 0.05). Hog plum provides farmers with an alternative feeding material for lactating ruminants to help in galactogenesis as well as lactopoiesis, in the face of the global rising cost of grains used in the formulation of concentrate diets. Keywords: Spondias mombin , hog plum, colostrum, milk West African Dwarf ewes

猪李对西非矮羊初乳、乳成分及生长的影响

以12只哺乳期母羊及其12只羔羊为试验对象，研究了民族兽药植物猪梅(Spondias mombin)对哺乳期12周非洲矮母羊初乳、成熟乳成分及羔羊体重的影响。母羊被分为两个处理组:T1和T2，分别代表对照和处理母羊。治疗组(T2)母羊在分娩后立即以1 kg/母羊/天的剂量饲喂mombin L型棘球蚴。初乳于产后第3天采集，成熟乳每两周采集一次。每隔一周测量羔羊体重。结果表明，处理组母羊初乳含量显著高于对照组(p < 0.05)。第2周母羊乳糖乳率为3.98±0.05，显著高于对照组(p 0.05)。猪梅为农民提供了哺乳反刍动物的替代饲料材料，以帮助泌乳和泌乳，以应对全球用于精料日粮配方的谷物成本上升。关键词:棘球菌，猪李，初乳，乳西非矮母羊
