“…The dressing percentage increases with increasing slaughter weight (Bonvillani et al 2010). W hereas, Sarker et al (2015) found higher dressing percentages (P<0.05) in whole milk fed kids than in milk replacer groups. They attributed their results to higher gut fill associated with earlier rumen development in milk replacer fed kids than the whole milk consumed group.…”

Background: The intensive rearing systems of goats needs dietary formulations that will meet animal requirements, mainly the protein and energy to allow optimum growth rate. Alternative systems to attain 15-20 kg body weight by three months of age with better meat quality is need of the hour. Broiler goat production system is most suitable system of rearing for meat goat production. The current study was conducted to examine the impact of broiler goat production system on the carcass traits and meat quality characteristics of Malabari male kids. Methods: Fourteen pre-weaned kids were randomly allotted to two treatments. Treatment-I (T1) kids were allowed to suckle thrice a day during four weeks and twice in a day during consequent weeks. Whereas in Treatment-II (T2), kids were reared intensively by providing finely ground concentrate feed mixed with equal quantity of rice gruel from a feeding bottle after 7 days of colostrum feeding from the mother. The animals were slaughtered at an age of three months and the final body weight, carcass traits like dressing percentage, weight of different body parts and meat quality parameters like pH, color, cooking loss and shear force were analysed. The proximate composition and sensory evaluation was performed. Result: Broiler goat production system could produce significantly (P less than 0.01) higher final average body weight compared to natural system. All the carcass traits were significantly (P less than 0.01) higher in T2. The broiler goat production system could double the net live weight during the same period compared to natural suckling system with higher dressing % and the chevon produced was tender with less cooking loss. Hence, this system can be recommended for chevon production in shorter period with higher dressing % and lesser cooking loss in Malabari male kids.

“…Ghorbani et al (2007) suggested that soymilk might be offered as a milk replacer during the first 2-3 week of age in calves. Previously we reported that whole milk could be replaced by soymilk up to 50% without significant effects on growth, carcass characteristics, rumen, and gonad development of Black Bengal kids (Sarker et al, 2015).…”

Supplementation of concentrate feed during late pregnancy of doe is an approach to improve milk yield and kid performance after kidding. The experiment was conducted to find out appropriate level and duration of supplementation to the pregnant doe. The data of the experiment were analyzed applying Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with factorial arrangements with three replications. First factor used in the experiment was the duration of concentrate feeding (15 days, 30 days, 45 days and 60 days) and second was amount of concentrate supplemented (2.00%, 1.75%, 1.50% and 1.25% of their body weight). Birth weight, weaning weight, milk yield and kid mortality in different groups were recorded. Birth weight and weaning weight were found higher in 60 days supplemented group i.e. 2.3±0.23 kg and 10.94±0.41 kg, respectively. Both birth weight and weaning weight were also found higher with 2 percent concentrate feeding group than others i.e. 2.1±0.23 kg and 9.64±0.42 kg, respectively. Milk yield recorded for fourth week shows that higher milk yields were found in 2 percent concentrate supplemented group with 60 days time period. The result showed that by increasing the level of concentrate during late gestation period of does increased the birth weight, weaning weight of kids and increased milk yield of does. So the higher level of concentrate supplementation is required during 45 to 60 days of late gestation in does. Bang. J. Anim. Sci. 2019. 48 (1): 57-66

“…Blood samples were collected at 8 weeks of experimental period at 9.00 am via jugular vein puncture into evacuated tubes containing EDTA (Ethylene diamino tetraacetate) for determination of blood parameters including red blood cell (RBC), white blood cell (WBC), haemoglobin (Hb), Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and packed cell volume (PCV). Collection and examination of blood were performed following the procedure described by Sarker et al (2015). In brief, the area from where blood is to be collected was shaved by blade.…”

“…After sacrifice, reticulo-rumens were emptied, and rinsed with cold water, then transported immediately to the laboratory. Rumen tissues were sampled from nine different positions: right side of cranial ventral sac (RD), left side of cranial ventral sac (LD), right side of cranial dorsal sac (RC), right side of caudal dorsal sac (RB), right side ventral portion of caudal ventral blind sac (RE), left side ventral portion of caudal ventral blind sac (LE), left side of cranial dorsal sac (LC), left side of caudal dorsal sac (LB), caudal portion of the caudal ventral blind sac (A) following the procedure described by Sarker et al(2015). The thickness of the rumen was measured at each of these sites.…”

This study was conducted to determine the effect of feeding different levels of cow milk on growth, hematological parameters, carcass characteristics, rumen and testicular development of goat kids. Eighteen Black Bengal kids were randomly allocated to three groups on the basis of milk feeding levels, 10% (n=6), 15% (n=6), and 20% (n=6) of liveweight. The average liveweight of each group was 2.40 kg. The milk was fed at regular intervals daily up to 13 weeks of age when they were weaned. Blood samples were collected at 8 weeks of age to determine different blood components. At 16 weeks of age kids were sacrificed to examine carcass characteristics, rumen and testes development. Increasing levels of milk improved liveweight gain of kids. Kids fed 20% milk were heavier (7.78 ±0.37kg) at slaughter than others. Numbers of red blood cells were significantly higher in the 15% milk fed group than 20% milk fed group. Carcass weight and dressing percentage of meat did not differ significantly among the groups. Histological examination revealed that rumen papillae length (707.00 ± 37.07µm) and width (430.23 ± 29.86µm) were significantly higher in 20% milk fed kids than others. The sizes of right testicles were significantly wider in 20% milk fed kids than that of 10% groups of kids. In conclusion, cow milk could be fed to kids at the rate of 20% of their liveweight for maximum growth and organ development. J Bangladesh Agril Univ 17(4): 551–559, 2019
