Sažetak
In this study the effect of transportation stress on serum concentrations of cortisol, thyroid hormones, β-hydroxybutyrate, nonesterified fatty acids, glucose and plasma total protein in Iranian cashmere (Raini) goats were evaluated. On the first day, blood samples from 10 Raini goats (5 males and 5 non-lactating nonpregnant females) were collected at 8 A.M. (T1), and after 3h food and water deprivation (T2). On the second day, samples were collected at 8 A.M. (T3), and after 3h transport (T4). Final blood sample was taken 24 h after transport ended (T5). Food and water deprivation caused a significant decrement in serum cortisol, and a significant increase between T2 and T3 was evident. Transportation caused a significant increase in serum cortisol, and the increase continued until T5. Serum T3 showed a marginally significant decrease due to the food and water deprivation. Serum T4 and NEFA significantly increased between T2 and T3. No significant change in serum concentrations of glucose, fT3, fT4, T3/T4 ratio and BHBA in different samplings was observed. The current study showed that short road transport had a significant effect on some stress biomarkers in cashmere goats, however, it takes a longer time before hormonal control of metabolism can be affected.
