Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different time and treatment before and after lamb transportation on growth performance, serum stress parameters, immunoglobulin and inflammatory factor contents of Hu lambs. Fifty healthy 4-month-old Hu sheep male lambs with an average body weight of (20.71±0.70) kg were randomly divided into 5 groups, 10 lambs in each group. All lambs were transported for 8 h. The day of transportation was recorded as 0 d. Group 1 was the control group. The basal diet was fed before and after transportation, group 2 was electrolytic multidimensional group, 2 d before transportation to 7 d after transportation was supplemented with electrolytic multidimensional 0.375 g/(d·lamb) in the basal diet, groups 3, 4 and 5 were Lactobacillus group, γ-aminobutyric acid group and neomycin group. Lactobacillus 4 mL/(d·lamb), γ-aminobutyric acid 200 mg/(d·lamb) and neomycin 200 mg/(d·lamb) were added to the basal diet from 0 d to 7 d after transportation. Test sheep were weighed on 1 d before transportation and 14 d after transportation, and blood was collected on 0, 7, and 14 d after transportation. The results showed as follows:1) the growth rate of lamb body weight after transportation from large to small was electrolytic multidimensional group (20.82%) > neomycin group (17.81%) > Lactobacillus group (16.98%) > control group (15.40%). 2) Compared with the control, the treatment significantly affected the serum adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) content and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity of lambs (P<0.01), the time significantly affected the serum cortisol (COR) content and LDH activity (P<0.01), and the treatment×time significantly affected the serum ACTH content (P<0.05); the treatment significantly affected the serum immunoglobulin A (IgA) content of lambs (P<0.01), and the time and treatment×time had no significant effect on the serum IgA, immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) contents (P>0.05); the treatment significantly or extremely significantly affected the interferon-γ (IFN-γ) content (P<0.05) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) contents (P<0.01) in the serum of lambs, and the treatment time significantly affected the serum IL-6 content (P<0.01). In summary, adding electrolytic multidimensional 0.375 g/(d·lamb) to the basal diet from 2 d before transportation to 7 d after transportation has the best effect against transportation stress in lambs.
