- Abstract
Goat’s lactation ability is affected by its reproductive ability to produce kids. Doe’s parturition is one of the most important considerations for goat’s milk production sustainability. This research aimed to determine the estrous characteristics in lactating Saanen Ettawah Crossbred (SAPERA) on different parturition. Forty-eight SAPERA does with body condition score ±3 on natural estrous cycle were used in this study. The does were divided into 3 groups based on parturition amount (parturition 1; parturition 2; parturition >3). This research was administered under similar condition and management in a traditional milking goat farm at Turi District, Yogyakarta. The collected data were scoring of vaginal characteristics (reddening vulva, mucus discharge and swollen vulva); mucus pH value; and vaginal temperature. The pH value and vaginal temperature were also used to determine the estrous phase of does. The data were analysed using a completely randomized design (CRD) continued with Post-hoc (LSD). The result of vaginal characteristics and temperature were significantly different (P<0.05). It tended to decrease following the increase of parturition. The vaginal temperature in the parturition 1, 2 and 3 groups were 38.49±0.50, 38.24±0.42, and 38.69±0.31, respectively. The pH mucus did not differ significantly between parturition groups. In conclusion, the estrous characteristics in lactating SAPERA does were affected by parturition. However, it still needs further study.
