In this study, the effect of intaking hydrogen-rich water (HRW) on the metabolic profile of Gurcu goats during the peripartum period and the survival/growth performance of kids were evaluated. Twenty-three pregnant goats were divided into two groups 21-23 days before the due date. Group 1 (G1, n = 10) was given HRW from day 21 before delivery until day 21 after delivery. Group 2 (G2, n = 13) served as the control. Blood samples were weekly taken from 21 days before delivery until 21 days after delivery. Hydrogen-rich water increased serum glucose concentration on the delivery day more than in G2 (P = 0.016). Hydrogen-rich water decreased serum total cholesterol (P = 0.02) and creatinine (P = 0.05) concentration at delivery. Group effect and time effect were significant in triglyceride (P < 0.001, P = 0.001, respectively) and albumin (P < 0.001, P = 0.002, respectively) concentration. Aspartate transaminase decreased towards the delivery day in G1 (P < 0.05). Serum non-esterified fatty acids concentration was lower in G1 than in G2, but there was no significant differences (P > 0.05). Beta-hydroxybutyric acid concentration an increased in both groups during the prepartum period, although there was no significance (P > 0.05). Hydrogen-rich water did not affect the birth weight and growth performance of the kids (P > 0.05), but it increased their survival rates and overall health, although there was no significance (P > 0.05). In conclusion, HRW may have an impact on the metabolic profiles during the peripartum period and have a positive effect on lipid profiles. Additionally, intaking HRW to goats during the peripartum period may improve the health and survival of kids and reduce their mortality.
本研究旨在评估富氢水（HRW）对古尔库山羊围产期代谢特征以及羔羊存活/生长性能的影响。23 只怀孕的山羊在预产期前 21-23 天被分为两组。第 1 组（G1，n=10）从分娩前 21 天开始至分娩后 21 天给予 HRW。第 2 组（G2，n=13）作为对照组。从分娩前 21 天至分娩后 21 天每周采集一次血液样本。分娩当天，富氢水组的血清葡萄糖浓度高于 G2 组（P=0.016）。富氢水组在分娩时血清总胆固醇（P=0.02）和肌酐（P=0.05）浓度降低。甘油三酯（P<0.001，P=0.01）和白蛋白（P<0.001，P=0.02）浓度存在组间效应和时间效应。G1 组的天门冬氨酸转氨酶在分娩日下降（P<0.05）。G1 组的血清非酯化脂肪酸浓度低于 G2 组，但无显著性差异（P>0.05）。两组在产前期间β-羟丁酸浓度均增加，但无显著性差异（P>0.05）。富氢水对羔羊的出生体重和生长性能没有影响（P>0.05），但提高了羔羊的成活率和整体健康水平，尽管无显著性差异（P>0.05）。综上所述，HRW 可能会对围产期的代谢特征产生影响，并对脂类谱产生积极影响。此外，在围产期给山羊摄入 HRW 可能会改善羔羊的健康和成活率，降低死亡率。
