Effetto dell'integrazione alimentare sulle capacità di mantenimento delle riserve energetiche nel periparto e sulle produzioni in capre d'angora.

The aim of this research was to investigate the effects of different kind of diet (control diet or diet plus favino) on peripartum energy/protein balance and productions of Angora goats. Thirtytwo Angora goats (during milk production, "L", or not, "A") were divided in two groups and fed with a different died (control diet, "C", and supplied diet, "T"); periodically, some blood samples pre- post delivery were collected for total protein, albumin, glucose, urea, triglycerides, beta - hydrossibutirrate, non esterified fatty acids and cholesterol determinations. The variation of Body Condition Score (BCS) and of the body weight (PV) of goats and kids were registered. The diet "T" rised the total protein (mmol/l 78.8 +/- 1.1 vs 75.6 +/- 1.0; P< 0.05) and urea concentrations (mmol/l 7.1 +/- 0.2 vs 5.5 +/- 0.2; P<0.001) in both L and A goat groups. Furthermore, in the A group, the T diet induced an improvment of BCS (P<0.001); whereas, in L group, the effect of integration get an higher PV of kids (P<0.001).
