Differences among four meat goat breeds for doe fitness indicator traits in the southeastern United States.

Journal of animal science - 1 Apr 2017

Wang L, Nguluma A, Leite-Browning M L, Browning R

Abstract excerpt

Sustainable meat goat production begins with the identification and use of maternal breeds that demonstrate relatively enhanced levels of fitness under less-than-optimal conditions. The Myotonic goat is a heritage breed that is lacking in comparative assessment for female fitness. In this study, Boer ( = 73), Kiko ( = 115), Myotonic ( = 80), and Spanish ( = 114) meat goat does were compared for traits associated...
