Weaning as a stress factor for goat kids
Original language description
The aim of this study was to find out whether weaning affects the welfare of goat kids and thus represents a stressful situation. We used a non-invasive method of saliva sampling to determine the concentration of stress hormone cortisol. This method has many advantages over invasive blood sampling, but also over other non- invasive methods such as determination of cortisol concentration in urine, feces or fur. Our results show that weaning at 3 months of age is a stress factor for goat kids, because cortisol levels in saliva samples after weaning were statistically significantly increased compared to basal values.
