Twenty four male Thai native × Anglo-Nubian crossbred goats were randomly allocated to receive four treatments. The experiment was conducted for four months and slaughtered that the Longissimus dorsi muscle was collected for fatty acid analysis. The results conclude that either castrated method or ages had no significantly different on monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) (P>0.05) except erucic ac...

Background: Occurrence of congenital anomalies are less common in small ruminants, especially goats compared to sheep. Most cause for the deformities new born ruminants is due ingestion toxic plants during gestation. Congenital meningoencephalocoele with associated craniofacial a rare occurrence goats. Materials: A day old crossbred kid was presented cranial defects and protrusion brain through...

The effect of fetal number (single or twin) on plasma concentrations of progesterone, estradiol 17β, cortisol, prolactin, growth hormone, triiodothyronine, thyroxine and insulin around parturition (periparturient period) were studied on ten Alpine × Beetle crossbred goats in their first to third lactation. The hormone profiles were studied on days -20, -15, -10, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1 prior to kidd...

To determine the prevalence and seasonal variation of Psoroptes ovis (Delafond, 1858) mange in goats in the semiarid region of Paraíba, 541 crossbred goats of both sexes and different ages were examined between June 1999 and May 2001 and between August 2011 and December 2012, by washing their ear canals. The monthly prevalence of the infestation varied between 66.66% and 100% without significan...

Mao seed is a by-product of the wine and juice industry, which could be used in animal nutrition. The current study was designed to determine the effect of supplementation of mao (Antidesma thwaitesianum Muell. Arg.) seed meal (MOSM) containing condensed tannins (CT) on rumen fermentation, nitrogen (N) utilization and microbial protein synthesis in goats. Four crossbred (Thai Native×Anglo Nubia...

The Creole goat is a local meat breed well adapted to the tropical environment of Guadeloupe, a French island in the Caribbean. A survey of 47 goat farmers was conducted in May 2008 to describe the Guadeloupean goat farming systems. It was the preliminary step for the implementation of a breeding programme for Creole goats. Farmers had 31 does on average. A small number (4%) kept only Creole go...

This paper investigates the genetic control of the resistance of goats to nematode parasites, and relationships between resistance and production traits. The data set comprised faecal egg counts (FECs) measured on 830 naturally challenged (predominant species Teladorsagia circumcincta ), crossbred cashmere-producing goats over 5 years (1993-1997) and production traits (fibre traits and live wei...

Goats are produced in Laos on a small scale and most of them exported to Vietnam, where they receive price approximately 30% higher than Vietnamese crossbred goats. In 2021, 2.2 million dollars sheep goats, mostly Vietnam (2.19 dollars). was also the fastest-growing export market for goats between 2020 comprising 66.7% total exports. This study aims analyze goat value chain from and, based its ...

BACKGROUND Dietary fats can alter the deposition and distribution of body fats in ruminants. The deposition and distribution of body fat play a vital role in the quality of ruminant carcasses and are of great commercial value since they influence the profitability and consumer acceptability of ruminant meat. The current study examined the effects of dietary blend of 80 % canola oil and 20 % pal...

dence of change in clinical per-deficient animals. This report describes enzootic ataxia status and no changes were seen. At approximately 4 months in 3 goat kids from a small Louisiana goat herd. of age, both kids were euthanized and submitted for necropsy. The herd consisted of 10 crossbred does that were housed There were no significant gross lesions. Tissue specimens on a half-acre dirt pad...
