Abstract

Black pepper extraction generates black pepper-extracted byproducts (BEB), which are categorized as agricultural industrial waste products. The byproducts may contribute to environmental issues including greenhouse gas emissions and are not valuable to other industrial businesses. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of diet supplementation with BEB on growth performance, milk yield, and hematological profiles. Six two-year-old Thai-Saanen crossbreed goats, with an average initial weight of 34.83 ± 1.94 kg, were used. The goats underwent individualized care and were randomly divided into two groups: a control group receiving a basal diet and a group fed the basal diet supplemented with 10%BEB. Throughout the experimental period, growth performance, hematological profiles, and milk quality were analyzed. Feed intake, growth performance, and milk yield and composition of the goats given the byproducts supplementation were not considerably different from those of goats fed the basal diet. Hematological and biochemical profiles were also unaffected by the supplemented diet. Following supplementation with the byproduct, blood lipid profiles were not altered significantly. In conclusion, the consumption of the byproduct as a dietary supplement had no negative effects on the physical well-being of dairy goats during the lactation period.
