Abstract

Body weight is a crucial trait that aids farmers in decision-making regarding vaccinations, feeding, marketing and selection during the breeding programs. The study was conducted to investigate the effect of sex and age on body weight (BW), body condition score (BCS) and some blood biochemical parameters (BBP) and to determine the correlation amongst BW, BCS and BBP of non-descriptive goats at Santombe communal farming system. Blood samples were collected from 33 apparently healthy goats (27 females and 6 males) aged 6 - 8 tooth with a mean BW (32.62 ± 11.39 kg) while BCS (3.17 ± 0.39) was taken by means of palpating the lumbar area, sternum and the ribs. The BCS was rated on a scale of 1 to 5 with 1 being emaciated and 5 being extremely fat. The blood samples were analyzed using Cobas intergra 400 plus chemistry analyzer, Roche for biochemical parameters such as total protein (TP), urea, cholesterol (Chol), magnesium (Mg), phosphorous (P) and calcium (Ca) with mean values of 72.79 ± 5.84 mg/l, 2.76 ± 1.16 mmol/l, 2.08 ± 0.40 mmol/l, 1.09 ± 0.09 mmol/l, 2.30 ± 0.49 mmol/l and 2.45 ± 0.12 mmol/l respectively. Sex and age had significant effects on BW, BCS and some biochemical parameters. The BW and BCS for males were significantly higher than for females. Correlation results indicated that BW had a positive relationship with BCS (r = 0.677), TP and BW (r = 0.400), Chol and BCS (r = 0.4025) and Mg and TP (r = -0.075). Age and sex had significant influences on BW, BCS and some blood biochemical parameters. Consideration of the factors can aid in determining the accurate diagnosis of the nutritional status of goats.
Mzimvubu市非描述性山羊体重、身体状况评分与某些血液生化参数关系的探讨——以Santombe村为例
体重是一个关键特征,有助于农民在育种计划中就疫苗接种、喂养、营销和选择做出决策。本研究旨在调查性别和年龄对Santombe社区养殖系统中非描述性山羊体重(BW)、身体状况评分(BCS)和某些血液生化参数(BBP)的影响,并确定其体重、BCS和BBP之间的相关性。从33只6-8岁的健康山羊(27只雌性和6只雄性)身上采集血样,平均体重(32.62±11.39kg),而BCS(3.17±0.39)是通过触诊腰部、胸骨和肋骨来采集的。BCS的评分为1-5分,其中1分为消瘦,5分为极度肥胖。使用罗氏Cobas integral 400 plus化学分析仪对血液样本进行生化参数分析,如总蛋白(TP)、尿素、胆固醇(Chol)、镁(Mg)、磷(P)和钙(Ca),平均值分别为72.79±5.84 Mg/l、2.76±1.16 mmol/l、2.08±0.40 mmol/l、1.09±0.09 mmol/l、2.30±0.49 mmol/l和2.45±0.12 mmol/l。性别和年龄对体重、BCS及某些生化指标有显著影响。雄性的BW和BCS显著高于雌性。相关结果表明,BW与BCS(r=0.677)、TP与BW(r=0.400)、Chol与BCS、Mg与TP(r=-0.075)呈正相关,年龄和性别对BW、BCS及某些血液生化指标有显著影响。考虑这些因素可以帮助确定山羊营养状况的准确诊断。
