Although pregnant farm animals can encounter different stressors on numerous occasions, studies on the physiological effects of repeated stress during gestation on females and their offspring are quite recent and still scarce. The present experiment was performed to study the effects of repeated transportations on some physiological parameters in pregnant goats and to determine whether repeated exposure to prenatal stress resulted in alterations in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis and the sympatho-adrenomedullary (SAM) system of their offspring. Twenty-six goats were assigned to one of two treatments during the last five weeks of gestation: 9 series of 55 min of transport (n = 13) or no transport (n = 13). During transpo...
