Food Sci Anim Resour 2023; 43:639-658. [PMID: 37483995 PMCID: PMC10359836 DOI: 10.5851/kosfa.2023.e25] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2023] [Revised: 06/05/2023] [Accepted: 06/09/2023] [Indexed: 07/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Although goat meat has several health benefits than other red meats but comsumers reluctant it due to its unpleasant flavor. This study aimed to investigate the odorant of goat meat as well as compare the quality traits of meat regarding sex status. The loin meats [non-castrated male (NCM), castrated male (CM), and female (FM)] were collected and stored at 4°C in a laboratory refrigerator and analyzed on the 1st, 5th, and 8th consecutive days. The moisture content was the lowest and the protein content was highest in FM (p<0.05). Fat and ash content in NCM and FM were similar while lowest in CM. The CIE L* was significantly higher in NCM, but there were no significant differences of CIE a* and CIE b* within groups at initial day. The color intensity increased on the 5th storage day and decreased again after the 8th storage day, except in NCM. NCM displayed the highest thiobarbituric acid reactive substances value (p<0.05), whereas CM displayed a higher pH value than other groups throughout the storage period. Indole levels were the highest in NCM (0.031 mg/kg); however, skatole levels were not significant differences across all treatments (p>0.05). No significant difference was observed in the fatty acid composition between NCM and CM (p>0.05), whereas a significant difference was observed in FM (p<0.05). Most of the water-soluble metabolites showed significant differences between sexes. Overall, sex status effects on quality properties of meat and castration can improve the overall sensory acceptance by reducing goaty flavor of Korean native black goat meat.

Effects of Castration Age on the Growth Performance of Nubian Crossbred Male Goats. Animals (Basel) 2022; 12:ani12243516. [PMID: 36552436 PMCID: PMC9774708 DOI: 10.3390/ani12243516] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2022] [Revised: 11/25/2022] [Accepted: 12/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
To determine the optimal timing for performing castration on goats, eighteen male Nubian crossbred goats were randomly assigned to two groups and castrated at 3 months and 6 months of age, respectively. Daily dry matter intake, biweekly body weights, and ultrasonic measurements of longissimus dorsi muscle growth were recorded. Results indicated that there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of the blood parameter analysis (except testosterone, 0.36 ± 0.26 vs. 3.61 ± 0.27 ng/mL at 25 weeks old), economic analysis, and growth performance, including final body weight, total weight gain, average daily gain, total dry-matter intake, and feed conversion ratio (p > 0.05). However, the longissimus dorsi muscle depth of goats castrated at 6 months of age was significantly higher than that of goats castrated at 3 months of age. In conclusion, castration timing does not have a significant effect on the growth performance of goats; therefore, castrating goats at 3 months of age may be the best practice considering animal welfare and possible risks associated with late castration.

Abstract
Fattening performance, slaughter, and carcass traits of intact and castrated Angora goat kids slaughtered at different slaughter weights were examined. A total of 96 (48 intact, I-kids, and 48 castrated, C-kids) single Angora kids were fattened, and 48 of them (24 I-kids and 24 C-kids) were slaughtered at slaughter weights (SW) of 20, 25, and 30 kg. Castration negatively affected fattening performance, and the kids showed rising daily weight gain with increasing SW. While dressing percentages were not affected by castration, it caused a tendency for a decrease in offal. However, with the increase in SW, dressing percentages increased, and offal decreased. Castration increased non-carcass fat percentages and back fat depth. The proportions of individual cuts did not generally vary because of castration but changed with SW; foreleg percentages decreased (P < 0.001) while neck percentages increased (P < 0.05). Carcass composition was affected by castration; the percentages of carcass lean (P < 0.001) and bone (P < 0.01) dropped, and total fat (P < 0.001) increased. SW had an impact on carcass composition; the percentages of carcass bone (P < 0.001) declined, and lean (P < 0.001) and total fat (P < 0.001) raised as SW increased. The lean/fat ratio was affected by castration (P < 0.001) and increasing SW (P < 0.05). Castration reduced the lean percentage in all cuts. The leg showed the highest lean percentage, whereas the greatest fat ratio was found in the breast+flank in all SW groups. Consequently, castration of Angora male kids negatively affected fattening performance and altered the carcass composition, while the increase in slaughter weight improved fattening performance and slaughter and carcass characteristics.

Transl Anim Sci 2020; 4:txaa198. [PMID: 33324963 PMCID: PMC7724925 DOI: 10.1093/tas/txaa198] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2020] [Accepted: 10/27/2020] [Indexed: 11/14/2022] Open
Abstract
The mitigation of pain associated with common management procedures is a rising concern among veterinarians, producers and consumers. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are vital compounds for this purpose due to their cost, convenience, and efficacy. A transdermal formulation of flunixin meglumine (FM) was approved for the treatment of pain in cattle; however, the efficacy has yet to be determined for small ruminants. The current study had two aims: 1) to determine the pharmacokinetics of transdermal flunixin meglumine (TD FM) in bucklings and 2) to evaluate pain mitigation by TD FM following castration. To evaluate pharmacokinetics, 12 male goats (mean age = 6 mo) received 2.2 mg/kg of FM IV (n = 6) or 3.3 mg/kg TD FM (n = 6). Plasma FM concentrations were measured. The mean Cmax, Tmax, and harmonic mean half-life for TD FM were 1.09 ± 0.65 μg/mL, 5.50 ± 2.95 h, and 7.16 ± 2.06 h, respectively. To evaluate the efficacy of pain mitigation, 18 goats were randomly assigned to three treatment groups: 1) TD FM and castration (FM CAST) (n = 6); 2) transdermal placebo and castration (PL CAST) (n = 6); and 3) TD FM and sham castration (SHAM) (n = 6). Plasma samples were collected at 0, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, and 96 h to assess cortisol and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Daily dry matter intake (DMI) was recorded and body weight was measured at the beginning and end of the study. Thermography (IRT) images of the scrotum, as well as heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), and rectal temperature, were taken twice daily. Separate mixed analysis of variance models were used to test the effects of treatment, time, and their interaction on mean body temperature, IRT, HR, and RR. Autoregressive covariance structure was utilized to account for repeated measures and individual goat DMI prior to the study was added as a covariate. There were no differences in vital parameters, IRT measurements, cortisol, or PGE2 in animals receiving either TD FM or placebo following castration (P > 0.05). DMI had a treatment by hour interaction and was significantly higher in FM CAST and SHAM groups than the PL CAST group (P = 0.04). Goats in the SHAM group gained weight throughout the study, whereas goats in all other groups lost weight (P = 0.02). Results indicate that TD FM may mitigate pain as demonstrated by increased DMI; however, a single dose may not be sufficient to reduce physiological indicators of pain associated with castration in goats.

Characterization of the production system and breeding practices of indigenous goat keepers in Hai district, Northern Tanzania: implications for community-based breeding program. Trop Anim Health Prod 2020; 52:2955-2967.

Abstract
Indigenous breeding practices of the farmers and the livestock production system form the bases for designing community-based breeding programs. The aim of this study was to characterize production system and examine breeding practices of the indigenous goat farmers in Hai district in Northern Tanzania to determine their relevance in establishing a community-based breeding program in the area. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in which information was collected from 160 households randomly selected from 6 villages. Average household herd was 29.2 goats with majority keeping less than 20 goats. Major reasons for keeping goats were income generation, meat and milk production. Controlled mating was practiced mainly using apron and castration. Castration was practiced using traditional methods to control breeding and improve meat quality. Farmers in the study area had large goat flocks and a small buck to doe ratio. Farmers do not have a good understanding of inbreeding and its negative effects but practise other good breeding methods which could impact the productivity of their animals. Diseases and feed shortages were the main constraints to production. Opportunities exist for a community-based breeding program to genetically improve goat productivity.

Effects of letrozole administration on growth and reproductive performance in Markhoz goat bucklings. Theriogenology 2020; 147:183-191. [PMID: 31785859 DOI: 10.1016/j.theriogenology.2019.11.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2019] [Revised: 08/14/2019] [Accepted: 11/17/2019] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
This study evaluated the growth performance, testicular and semen characteristics, and hormonal profile of Markhoz (Iranian Angora) bucklings injected with letrozole (LTZ). Twenty-eight 4-4.5 month old bucks were randomly assigned into four groups and received either 0.25 mg/kg body weight (BW) LTZ subcutaneously (sc LTZ) or intramuscularly (im LTZ), and also sc (sc CONT) or im (im CONT) controls every week for 3 months. The study was performed at the beginning of the breeding season in Sanandaj Animal Husbandry Research Station (46.99 °E, 35.31 °N). The results showed that LTZ causes increased final body weight (25.78 ± 1.61 kg), higher average daily gain (104 ± 0.03 g/days), and decreased feed conversion ratio (7.81 ± 2.57) (P < 0.05). The pre-slaughter, hot, and cold carcass weights (27.56 ± 2.40, 11.45 ± 1.07 and 11.11 ± 1.05 kg, respectively) were (P < 0.05) heavier in LTZ groups while other carcass characteristics did not differ between groups. No differences occurred between the groups in biochemical parameters, except high-density lipoprotein levels (35.47 ± 2.43 mg/dL) which was higher in LTZ treatments (P < 0.05). LTZ-treated bucks had larger scrotal circumference (20.12 ± 5.75 cm), higher relative testicular weight (560.91 ± 78.59 mg/100 g BW) and volume (175.5 ± 29.71 cm3), greater diameter of seminiferous tubules (224.5 ± 5.21 μm), and number of Sertoli cells (8.39 ± 0.77) (P < 0.05). Semen volume (0.74 ± 0.16 mL), sperm concentration (2.64 ± 0.19 × 10-9/mL), total sperm per ejaculate (1.95 ± 0.49 × 10-9), and semen index (1248 ± 323) increased (P < 0.05) by LTZ treatments, while semen pH (6.77), motility (80.91%), progressive motility (76.75%), viability (83.35%), abnormality (13.70%), acrosome integrity (78.06%), and membrane integrity (80.05%) of sperm remained unaffected. Intratesticular and serum testosterone (T) levels (7.97 ± 0.89 ng/mg protein and 2.47 ± 0.59 ng/mL, respectively), serum luteinizing hormone (LH), growth hormone (GH) levels (1.71 ± 0.24 and 3.62 ± 0.33 ng/mL, respectively) of LTZ groups were elevated, whereas intratesticular and serum estradiol (E2) levels (84.14 ± 8.15 pg/mg protein and 32.33 ± 2.16 pg/mL, respectively) decreased (P < 0.05). No differences were recorded between the sc and im routes of LTZ administration in the measured parameters. To conclude, we have found that LTZ treatment improves growth and reproductive functions of goat bucklings associated with increased serum LH and GH, elevated T and reduced E2 levels in both serum and testis.
