Abstract

In tropical areas, high ambient temperature is a fundamental factor that cause heat stress and directly decreases in milk production of dairy goat. The objective of this research was to investigate the efficacy of isoquinoline alkaloids (IQA) supplementation on milk yield and cortisol concentration in goats. Twelve late lactating (60-102 days in milk; DIM) Saanen goats were allocated into two groups. Group 1 as control group, Group 2 as treatment group which supplemented with IQA 1 g/day. Milk production was measured, blood samples were collected to measure plasma cortisol concentration using ELISA kit. The results showed that milk production of the IQA group was significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05) during 14 days after supplementation. Moreover, milk production of IQA group was remained significantly higher than that the control group (P<0.05) even though discontinuation of IQA supplementation. Although there was no significant difference in roughage intake (P>0.05), it was 3.77% higher than that control group during IQA supplementation and 5.88% even no supplemented with IQA. There was no significant difference in cortisol levels between both groups (P>0.05). In conclusion, the effects of IQA supplementation maintained the amount of roughage intake of the goats, and improved persistency resulting in increased milk production. However, there was no change (P>0.05) in the levels of heat stress indicator cortisol hormone in goats. The results of this investigation reveal that IQA supplementation has no impact on goats under heat stress.
