Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different ratios of dietary fast-fermented carbohydrate (CHO-FR) and slow-fermented carbohydrate (CHO-FS) on plasma biochemical, antioxidant and hormonal indexes and milk performance of lactating donkeys. Using a single factor design, 24 female donkeys with similar age, weight and foaling date, were randomly divided into 3 groups: low CHO-FR group (CHO-FR/CHO-FS=0.55, LCR group), medium CHO-FR group (CHO-FR/CHO-FS=0.98, MCR group) and high CHO-FR group (CHO-FR/CHO-FS=1.76, HCR group). The pre-trial period was 14 days, and the trial period was 56 days. The results showed as follows: 1) on days 0 (the last day of pre-trial period) to 30 of the trial period, compared with the LCR group, the body weight gain in the MCR group and HCR group had a tendency to increase (0.05 < P < 0.10). On days 31 to 56 of the trial period, there was no significant difference in body weight gain among groups (P>0.05). During the whole test period, there was no difference in feed intake among groups (P>0.05). 2) The plasma glucose content in the HCR group was significantly higher than that in the MCR and LCR groups (P < 0.05), while the plasma total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and malonaldehyde (MDA) content had no significant differences (P>0.05). The growth hormone (GH) content in the HCR group was numerically higher than that in the LCR group (P > 0.05), and the estradiol (E2) content was numerically lower than that in the LCR and MCR groups (P>0.05). 3) In weeks 4 to 6 of trial period, the milk performance enhanced with the increase of CHO-FR ratio (0.05 < P < 0.10), and the total milk yields in the MCR and HCR groups in the trial period increased by 2.88% and 6.64% compared with the LCR group, respectively. The contents of non-fat solids, milk protein and lactose in the MCR group were significantly higher than those in the HCR group (P < 0.05). At week 2 of the trial period, milk fat yield in LCR group was significantly higher than that in MCR group (P < 0.05), and at week 4 of the trial period, milk non-fat solids and milk protein yield in HCR group were significantly higher than those in LCR group (P < 0.05). In sum, feeding diets with high CHO-FR/CHO-FS ratio tend to increase donkey milk production and milk composition, while low CHO-FR/CHO-FS ratio diets increase the content and yield of milk fat.
