Effect of Omega 3 on Milk Production and some Thermoregulatory Responses in Cypriot Goats

Abstract

ABSTRACTThis study was conducted in Sheep and Goat Research Station Belonging to Public Authority for Agricultural Research in Abu Ghrib (20 km from Baghdad) for the period 1/6/2015 to 30/8/2015, and use of 21 Cypriot goats aged 1.5-2 years old and weighing 35-54 kg. goats were divided randomly into three groups (7 goats each group) The first group was considered control group and second group was given 30 ml / per animal from 3-Omega and third group was given 45 ml / per animal from 3-Omega. for the purpose of knowing the effect of omega- 3 on milk production and some thermoregulatory responses The results showed a significant effect for supplementation of omega -3 in the production of milk goats within months' experience, It overtook third -treatment was significantly (P ≤ 0.05) during the first week for the months of June ( 1385.71 g ) and August ( 842.86 g ) The fourth week of the month of July ( 828.57 g ) the first group ( control) While not significantly different from the second group . The results of the present study also showed there were no significant effects of transactions between the breathing rate during the probationary period, While significant effect was found for the third treatment during the months of July and August ( ( 39.36 and ( 39.16 ) and second ( 39.20 ) and ( 39.01 m ° ) respectively In rectal temperature compared to the control treatment ( 38.94 ) and ( 38.89 ) ° C , Pulse rate results indicate a significant effect of treatment during the third month of July at a rate of 78.29 in comparison with control 74.14 while the disappearance of the effect of the rest periods experience.
