Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of honeysuckle extract on performance, milk composition, serum biochemical indexes and antioxidant capacity of heat-stressed dairy goats. Thirty lactating Saanen dairy goats with similar milk yield, parity and body weight were randomly assigned to 3 groups with 10 goats per group. Goats in the control group were fed a basal diet, while other in experimental groups were fed basal diets supplemented with 1.4 (group Ⅰ) and 2.8 g/kg DM (group Ⅱ) honeysuckle extract, respectively. The pre-experimental period lasted for 7 days, and the experimental period lasted for 35 days. The results showed as follows:1) compared with the control group, the rectal temperature and respiratory rate of heat-stressed dairy goats of group Ⅰ were significantly decreased (P<0.05). 2) Dietary supplemented with honeysuckle extract had no significant effects on dry matter intake, milk yield, lactose rate, milk fat rate, milk protein rate and milk somatic cell count, urea nitrogen and total solids contents of heat-stressed dairy goats (P>0.05). 3) Dietary supplemented with honeysuckle extract had no significant effects on total protein, albumin, glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride, nonestesterified fatty acid contents and alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase activities in serum of heat-stressed dairy goats (P>0.05). 4) Compared with the control group, the serum malondialdehyde content of heat-stressed dairy goats of groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ was significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the serum glutathione peroxidase activity and total antioxidant capacity were significantly increased (P<0.05); the serum superoxide dismutase activity of heat-stressed dairy goats of group Ⅱ was significantly increased (P<0.05). In summary, although honeysuckle extract has no significant effect on the performance of heat-stressed dairy goats, it can decrease the rectal temperature and respiratory rate, improve the antioxidant capacity and effectively relieve the heat stress of dairy goats. Under the conditions of this experiment, the dietary appropriate addition amount of honeysuckle extract is 1.4 g/kg DM.
