    Effect of Body Condition Score on Biochemical Milk Parameters having Economic Importance in Dairy Goat during the First Month of Postpartum Period

    Cimen, Murat; Topcu, Hakan

    The data were collected from 20 Turkish Saanen goats raised in Ismailli village of Tunceli Province during first four weeks of postpartum period. In the research, 10 goats having BCS 1 and 10 goats having BCS 2 were used. The dams in BCS 1 group had showed lower milk fat content as compared to dams in BCS 2 group until third week. The total solids and protein levels of goats did not differ between BCS 1 and BCS 2 groups during all weeks of research We found positive high correlations between total solids and protein (r=0.997; p<0.01) in BCS 1 group and BCS2 group (r=0.9998; p<0.01) Similar correlations were found for both BCS group in study. From our results, the lower BCS has negative significant influence on the milk fat synthesis for dams having low fat depots. (c) 2013 Friends Science Publishers

    Machine Milked and Suckled Goats Differ in Some Biochemical Components of Their Milk in 1st and 2nd Weeks of Lactation

    Cetin, Mustafa; Cimen, Murat; Goksoy, Ergun Omer; Kirkan, Sukru; Yildirim, Saadettin

    This study was aimed at determination of biochemical components of machine milked and suckled goat milk associated with pecuniary profit in the 1(st) and 2(nd) weeks of early lactation period. For this purpose, 10 machine-milked and 10 suckled Turkish Saanen Goats were used. The milk fat rate was lower in machine milked goats than in suckled goats for both the periods. The protein levels were lower for 2(nd) week in machine milked goats compared with suckled goats. There was no difference (p>0.05) between the two groups of goats for total nitrogen. It was concluded that suckling improves fat in goat milk, which makes it more profitable. (C) 2010 Friends Science Publishers
