Ameliorative effect of Vitamin C, Electrolyte and Jaggery on Transportation Stress at different flocking densities in Hot Humid and Winter Seasons on Hormonal parameters of goats

•In goats effect of Vitamin C in group I, Vitamin C + Electrolyte in group II and in group III Jaggery, given 3 days before transport of animal, during winter and hot-humid seasons at different flocking densities for that blood samples were analyzed for the estimation of different hormonal parameters (Cortisol, Prolactin, T3 and T4).•Higher pre transportation values of T3and T4 (P<0.05) were observed in both the seasons whereas Cortisol and Prolactin levels were increased (P<0.05) just after unloading in all groups of goats.•Supplementation with Vitamin C, Vitamin C + Electrolyte and Jaggery aided in reducing transportation stress but Vitamin C + Electrolyte combination proved more beneficial in alleviating transportation stress in the goats.
