Lactation curves in dairy goats
… were studied. Milk production data on dairy goats were grouped into 90 subclasses: breed (5) by parity (3) by season (2) by level of production (3). Subclass means for three-day groups were smoothed and used to estimate parameters of a diphasic function, sum of two phases. For each phase, …

Karyotype polymorphism in indigeneous goats from two Zambian provinces
Blood samples drawn from 20 goats in Southern and Eastern provinces (Choma, Gwembe, Mazabuka, Petaike, Katete and Chipata) were analysed by the leucocyte culture method and the findings presented in idiograms. Goats from these two regions had had 60 diploid chromosomes number (58 autosomes and 2 …

The effect of condensed tannins on goats’ body weight
… occur nearly in every plant species browsed by goats. Condensed tannins have a potential to bind proteins, reduce the feed intake and consequently reduce the body weight gain of goats. The study was conducted in order to determine the effects of different condensed tannin concentrations on the …

Performance of Nguni goats supplemented with sweet potato vines
Goats are small ruminants that play a major role in food security, especially as their meat and milk serve as vital sources of protein in most rural houses in developing countries. Goats in developing countries mostly depend on veld as feed that often does not provide the nutrient requirements …

Experimental Evaluation of Urinary Bladder Marsupialization in Male Goats
… cases of obstructive urolithiasis in male goats. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the six-month outcome of urinary bladder marsupialization in male goats. The urinary bladders of six male goats free from systemic disease were marsupialized following induced urethral obstruction. …

Evaluating population estimates of mountain goats based on citizen science
… not consistent across all densities of mountain goats. Volunteer experience did not significantly influence detection probability or abundance estimates. Abundance estimates by volunteers were influenced by number of site visits. More frequent site visits balanced out lower detection probability …

Rights, rules and liability : an approach to "preventing" feral goats
… species." (Howard, 1965:68) The situation where goats are escaping from farms and become feral animals can be considered an environmental problem. This study focused on the approach that one way to solve this problem is to change the way farmers value goats and, through this, the attitudes that …

Pathogenesis of Leptospirosis in Adult Female Goats: Studies With Three Serovars
… The understanding of leptospirosis in goats is restricted to a few isolations from clinical cases or slaughter samples, although serological evidence indicates a moderate prevalence. The purpose of these studies was to explore the potential use of the goat as a model for experimental …

Evaluation of microsatellite markers for parentage verification in South Africa Angora goats
… fleece quality and yield. South African Angora goats are farmed under extensive breeding conditions in relatively large herds. As a result breeders make use of mating systems that tend to limit accurate parentage recording. Incorporation of genetic parentage testing into the breeding plan can …
