AIM The aim was to assess the effect of multi nutrient block (MNB) supplementation with and without tanniferous leaf meal mixture on feed intake, hematological profile, immune response, and body weight changes of goats that were experimentally infected with Haemonchus contortus. MATERIALS AND METHODS Total 12 adult male goats of similar age and body weight (26.49±0.87) were allocated in 3 gro...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli was determined in goat and goat meat sold at retail outlets in Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo).

METHODS The effect of bacteria proportion (1:3:1, 1:2:1, 1:1:1, 2:1:1, 3:1:1) on pH, acidity, and viable counts and sensory evaluation of goat milk fermented by probiotics includ...

The aim of the present work was to study, in dairy goats, the effect of replacing 35% of concentrate in the diet with feed blocks including tomato fruits wastes on CH4 emission, milk yield and fatty acid and amino acid profiles. Eight Granadina goats (39.6 ± 1.89 kg BW) in the middle of the third lactation were used, and a two-periods trial was carried out following a crossover design. In each ...

The responses of the mammary microvasculature in lactating goats (n = 8) during feed withdrawal (18-20 h) and mammary engorgement (26-28 h of milk accumulation) were compared using an indicator-dilution technique with FITC-albumin and [(14)C]sucrose as the intravascular and diffusible indicators, respectively. Feed withdrawal and mammary engorgement caused a 50-60% decrease in mammary arterial ...
