Effects of Pre-milking Resting on Some Lactation Characteristics of Damascus (Shami) and Kilis Goats
Öz
This study was
carried out with the aim of determining the effects of pre-milking resting on
some milk yield characteristics in Damascus (Shami) and Kilis goats. The milk
yield characteristics of the two breeds were also compared in the study. The
goats in both genotypes were divided into two groups as Control (10 heads) and
Treatment (10 heads). All goats grazed at the same pasture during day-time in
accordance with traditional breeding system of the region. And, they were
offered 1 kg/head/day concentrate containing 16 % crude protein and 2600 kcal
metabolizable energy in dry matter when they returned to the pen. The control
group goats were milked by hand while they feeding the concentrate. The
treatment group goats were rested an hour after concentrate feeding and then
they milked by hand. At the end of the study the effect of the application and the
breeds on the milk yield and milk composition were not significant (p>0.05),
except for the lactose content (p<0.01). Moreover, the effect of the
lactation months on the content of all fatty acids in the milk were also
detected statistically important (p<0.05).
