Ovarian activity, metabolic and physiological parameters of canindé goats submitted to short-term supplementation with licuri oil

This study aimed to evaluate the estrous behavior, ovarian activity, feed intake, metabolic and physiological parameters of Canindé goats supplemented for nine days with Licuri oil (Syagrus coronata). Thirty-six adult female goats were distributed randomly into two groups: control group (n = 18) wit...

Description
Summary:This study aimed to evaluate the estrous behavior, ovarian activity, feed intake, metabolic and physiological parameters of Canindé goats supplemented for nine days with Licuri oil (Syagrus coronata). Thirty-six adult female goats were distributed randomly into two groups: control group (n = 18) without Licuri oil and the oil group (n = 18) receiving a supplement containing 3% Licuri oil. The short-term food supplementation was associated with an estrus synchronization protocol. The number of ovulations and follicle diameter were evaluated by ultrasonography. Dry matter intake (DMI) and nutrient intake, water ingestion, and physiological parameters such as rectal temperature (RT), respiratory rate (RR), heart rate (HR), and serum concentrations of cholesterol and non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) were also determined. As concern statistical analysis, ANOVA followed by Fisher’s LSD was used and the differences were considered significant when P
