Role of maternal variables on the development of neonatal hypoglycaemia and influence of neonatal hypoglycaemia on performance of goat kids
The study evaluated the influence of maternal variables (age, body weight and body mass index; BMI) during mating on the development of hypoglycaemia and investigated whether hypoglycaemia at birth impairs thermoregulation, metabolism, body weight gain and immunoglobulin concentration in neonatal go...

| description | The study evaluated the influence of maternal variables (age, body weight and body mass index; BMI) during mating on the development of hypoglycaemia and investigated whether hypoglycaemia at birth impairs thermoregulation, metabolism, body weight gain and immunoglobulin concentration in neonatal goat kids. Post-kidding, the kids born with hypoglycaemia (n = 19) and normoglycaemia (n = 19) were immediately identified and postnatal blood samples, body weight and cardinal physiological variables were determined. Results revealed no significant (P < 0.05) difference in pre-mating maternal variables between dams that kidded hypoglycaemic and normoglycaemic kids. Kids born with hypoglycaemia had lower (P <0.05) blood glucose concentration from birth, until Day 2, when values became comparable between the two groups. Afternoon respiratory and pulse rates were markedly (P < 0.05) unstable in kids born with hypoglycaemia and the early postnatal rise (P < 0.05) in morning rectal temperature in both groups was accompanied by a decrease (P < 0.05) on day 20 in kids born with hypoglycaemia. Blood cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations were lower (P < 0.05) in hypoglycaemic kids and the normoglycaemic kids showed marked increase (P < 0.05) in circulating immunoglobulin concentration 24 h after birth, while age had no (P > 0.05) effect in hypoglycaemic kids. A more pronounced decrease (P < 0.05) in weekly weight gain was observed in hypoglycaemic kids. It was concluded that neonatal goat kids born with hypoglycaemia may have compromised thermoregulation, metabolism and body weight gain, and the cause of hypoglycaemia in kids may not be related to pre-mating maternal variables. |
