Overview

Investigates bee pollen's impact on glucose and protein levels in crossbred goats, suggesting implications for dietary management.

Key Points

  • The study aims to determine the effects of bee pollen supplementation on glucose and protein metabolism in crossbred Boer x Spanish goats.
  • Thirty goats were stratified by body weight and assigned to two treatment groups: bee pollen supplementation or control.
  • The supplementation group received 10 g/d of bee pollen along with a concentrate.
  • Weekly blood samples were collected and analyzed for glucose, albumin, and total protein concentrations.
  • Data were analyzed using mixed models with repeated measures.
  • Plasma concentrations of glucose, albumin, and total protein did not differ significantly between treatment groups.
  • Sampling date significantly influenced glucose, albumin, and total protein levels, indicating temporal variation.
  • Bee pollen supplementation did not significantly affect metabolic markers in goats at energy balance.
