“…In Saanen goats, this measurement is mainly associated with bone development and less with muscle growing (Yanez et al, 2004). Our hip width results were similar to previous studies that verified values of hip width around 14 cm for Saanen goats (Yáñez et al 2004;Bolacali & Kucuk, 2012).…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of replacing soybean meal by urea in the diet of housed Saanen young goats on performance, carcass and meat characteristics. Eighteen Saanen young males were used, with an initial average weight of 21.68 ± 0.83 kg for the treatment with soybean meal and 20.89 ± 0.61 kg for the treatment with urea, distributed in a completely randomized design. The total weight gain and the slaughter weight, as well as the carcass and commercial cuts yield were not altered by the replacement of soybean meal with urea (p > 0.05). However, there was less fasting weight loss in the diet containing urea (p = 0.01). The meat quality characteristics were also not changed by the total substitution of soybean meal for urea (p > 0.05). The replacement of soybean meal with urea does not compromise the performance, carcass characteristics and the meat quality of housed Saanen young goats.

“…However, there is limited information about the effects of phenolic and flavonoid compounds derived from herbal mixtures on morphometric measurements of ruminant carcasses. Perhaps, slaughter weight, cold carcass weight, muscle mass, and adipose tissue deposition are related to these variables [24].…”

“…The hot carcass yield (HCY) and the cold carcass yield (CCY) were determined through: HCY = (HCW/FBW) × 100 and CCY = (CCW/FBW) × 100, as it was described by Zimerman et al [23]. The body morphometry, external length of the carcass (ELC), internal length of the carcass (ILC), length of the leg (LL), perimeter of the leg (PL), and the carcass compactness index (CCI), were obtained based on the methodology described by Yañez et al [24], where: CCI = CCW/ILC, in kg cm −1 . In addition, the head, legs, skin, rumen (full and empty), liver, spleen, kidneys, heart, lungs, small intestine, and large intestine were each weighed separately.…”

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of the supplementation of a polyherbal mixture (HM) on the productive performance, carcass characteristics, meat quality, and the profile of blood metabolites of lambs fed a high-concentrate diet. Thirty-six male Pelibuey lambs (25.21 ± 0.96 kg BW) were housed in individual pens during a 56-day feeding period and were randomly assigned to four treatments: (1) Control (CON): Basal diet without HM; (2) HM1: CON + 1 g of HM kg−1 dry matter (DM); (3) HM2: CON + 2 g of HM kg−1 DM; and (4) HM3: CON + 3 g of HM kg−1 DM. Data were analyzed using the GLM (General Linear Model) procedure of statistical analysis system (SAS), and linear and quadratic effects were tested to evaluate the effects of the HM level. A quadratic increase was observed in the dry matter intake and in daily weight gain (p < 0.05) of lambs fed with HM2 and HM1, respectively. However, final body weight, body condition, carcass characteristics, and meat quality were similar among treatments (p > 0.05). It was observed a linear increase (p < 0.05) in the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration. Lymphocytes in blood from lambs supplemented with the HM1 diet increased and segmented neutrophils decreased compared to lambs receiving the CON treatment (p < 0.05). The concentration of uric acid in the blood had a linear increase (p < 0.05) and the serum creatinine level decreased (p < 0.05) as the HM dietary dose increased. In conclusion, dietary inclusion of 2 and 1 g of HM kg−1 of DM improves feed consumption and daily weight gain, respectively, without affecting carcass characteristics, meat quality, and health status on finishing lambs.

“…The greater the body compacity, the higher the muscle and fat development by length unit are. This measurement is an accurate animal conformation index (Yáñez et al, 2004). The meat Boer goats presented a higher body compacity (0.43 ± 0.01 vs 0.37 ± 0.01) than the dairy Saanen goats (p < 0.01).…”

Data analysis in goat production, such as those related to body and scrotal measurements, indicate the productive and reproductive animal development. The current study aimed to evaluate the correlations between thoracic perimeter (TP), body length (BL), body compacity (BC), body volume (BV), and scrotal circumference (SC) with body weight (BW) in young male goats of Saanen and Boer breeds. It was used 38 Saanen and 24 Boer male goats, with age average of 7.2 ± 2.0 months. Thoracic perimeter and body length measurements were obtained using a tape measure (cm) and the live weight (kg) a mechanic scale. The variables body compacity (BC) and body volume (BV) were calculated using the equations: and . Boer breed showed live weight and body compacity higher than Saanen breed (p < 0.05). Regarding correlations between biometric measurements and body weight, we did not find any statistical differences between the breeds (p > 0.05). The scrotal circumference presented the lowest association with body weight (p < 0.05). However, all biometric measurements showed highly significant correlations with live body (p < 0.01). In conclusion, thoracic perimeter was the main measure of body weight predictor, considering efficiency and practical aspects.
