Abstract

The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of hydrogen-rich water (HRW) intake on the polyamine profile of colostrum and milk. Two groups of Gurcu goats were provided ad libitum access to normal water (NW) and HRW from the 21st day prepartum until the 21st day postpartum. All polyamines were increased in NW- and HRW-fed colostrum and milk. On the 0- and the 21-days, all polyamines were higher for HRW-fed colostrum/milk samples than NW-fed ones. HRW supplementation to goats before parturition increased the polyamines in colostrum/milk with a positive potential impact on the nutrition and health of goats and newborn kids.
