Transportasi merupakan hal penting dalam proses pemasaran ternak. Transportasi dapat menimbulkan stres pada hewan karena dalam prosesnya perlakuan pada saat transportasi dapat menimbulkan gangguan metabolime yang menyebabkan penurunan berat badan pasca transportasi, penurunan kualitas daging, peningkatan angka kematian, dan gangguan fisiologis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh stres transportasi jarak pendek terhadap kadar hormon triiodotironin (T3) darah kambing Peranakan Ettawa. Penelitian ini menggunakan lima ekor kambing Peranakan Ettawa jenis kelamin betina. Kambing tersebut memiliki umur yang sama dan kondisi tubuh sehat. Kambing ditransportasikan dengan jarak 35 km dari Girimulyo menuju Nanggulan dengan kecepatan 35 km/jam. Pengambilan sampel darah dilakukan tiga kali yaitu sebelum transportasi, setelah transportasi, dan tujuh hari setelah transportasi. Pemeriksaan hormon T3 menggunakan kit ELISA. Data dianalisis dengan teknik analysis of variant (ANOVA) satu arah dilanjutkan dengan uji Tukey. Hasil level T3 sebelum transportasi adalah 1,04 ± 0,32 ng/ml, setelah transportasi adalah 0,85 ± 0,59 ng/ml dan tujuh hari setelah transportasi adalah 1,79 ± 0,44 ng/ml. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan adanya penurunan level hormon T3 setelah transportasi dan peningkatan level hormon T3 tujuh hari setelah transportasi. Level T3 berbeda nyata (P<0,05) antara T3 setelah transportasi dan tujuh hari setelah transportasi. Hal tersebut berarti bahwa transportasi jarak pendek terhadap level hormon T3 tidak menyebabkan perubahan pada level hormon T3. Level hormon T3 sebelum transportasi dan setelah transportasi tidak berbeda nyata (P>0,05) bisa disebabkan karena transportasi yang dilakukan selama satu jam tidak berpengaruh terhadap perubahan hormon T3.

Transportation is an important aspect marketing process in the livestock. Transport can cause stress for animal due to the treatment during transport, which can cause metabolic disorders leading to weight loss after transportation, reduction in meat quality, increased mortality and physiological disturbances. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of short term transportation to the blood triiodothyronine (T3) hormone level in Ettawa-crossbreed. This study conducted using five female Ettawa-crossbreed goats. The all treated goats had the same age and kept in healthy physically. These goats were transported 35 km from Girimulyo towards Nanggulan with an average speed of 35 km/h. Blood sampling was done three times: before transport, after transport, and seven days after transport. The levels of T3 was determined using in ELISA technique. The data was analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) one-way followed by the Tukey test. The result showed that at the time before transport T3 levels was 1,04 ± 0,32 ng/ml, after transport was 0,85 ± 0,59 ng/ml, and seven days after transport was 1,79 ± 0,44 ng/ml. The results showed a decrease in T3 hormone levels after transport and T3 hormone levels were increase seven days after transport. The levels of T3 was significantly different (P<0,05) compared with after transport and seven days after transport. It means that the transportation short term of the T3 levels did not cause the changes T3 levels. Triiodothyronine hormone levels before transport and after transport was not different (P>0,05) could be due to transportation performed for an hour did not affect the changes in hormone T3.
