“…In a number of studies conducted with various goat genotypes, the MLD areas were reported to range from 7.0 cm 2 to 15.9 cm 2 (11,20,23,24,27). The findings of the present study were similar to those of Atay et al (11), Solaiman et al (27), and Gökdal (24) but were higher than the results of Daskiran et al (20) and lower than the measurements of Gürsoy et al (23).…”

“…This may be attributed to lower neutral detergent fibre content in the low energy diet, because this diet needed smaller quantities of dry matter to meet the nutritional requirements. This result is in agreement with the findings of Atay et al (2011) who reported that the highest voluntary feed intake was found for goats fed with diet without energy sources. Moreover, Park et al (2013) mentioned that the amounts of feed intake is affected by adding fat to diets of ruminants and depends not only on the type of fat but also on the amount added.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of non-traditional dietary energy as protected fat (PF) and corn steep liquor (CSL) and combination between PF and CSL on upbringing male kids as sires for flock or fattening for marketing. Hence, testis development during pubertal stages, blood metabolites and fattening of Zaraibi male kids were studied. Twenty Zaraibi male kids with an average initial body weight of 15.69 kg and aged 135 days were used. Kids were assigned to four equal groups (N=5 /group) and received non-conventional energy treatments as E1 (control), E2, E3 and E4 contained 10.99, 11.92, 11.63 and 11.96 MJ/kg, respectively. The basal control diet E1 included concentrate feed mixture (CFM) + rice straws (RS). While, E2, E3 and E4 consisted of CFM + RS supplemented with 5% PF, 5% CSL or 2.5% PF + 2.5% CSL, respectively. The stages of age during puberty, changing of body weight, scrotal circumference, testicular volume and testosterone concentration were evaluated during pubertal phases. When kids reached puberty, semen characteristics were investigated. At the end of the experiment, blood samples were collected to assay glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL and LDL concentrations. Moreover, fattening performance was estimated for live body weight, average daily weight gain, dry matter intake, feed conversion ratio, water consumption, feed cost and economical efficiency. The results obtained during all pubertal stages, indicated that the kids which received E4 diet had the highest (P<0.05) testicular growth measurements (scrotal circumference and volume), testosterone levels and semen characteristics compared to the other energy levels. Plasma glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL and LDL concentrations did not significantly differ among all energy diets. Also, E4 diet showed a significantly (P<0.05) higher live body weight, average daily weight gain and economical efficiency than kids fed other dietary energy. On the contrary, kids fed E4 achieved lower (P<0.05) dry matter intake, feed conversion ratio, water consumption and feed cost than other kids fed different energy diets. Based on results of the present study, it could be safely concluded that supplemented combination between PF and CSL to male kid rations indicated the best testicular development during pubertal stages, semen characteristics at puberty, blood metabolites and feedlot performance.

“…The findings of this study concur with results from previous studies that reported genotypic effects on cold dressing and carcass joint proportions under intensive fattening conditions in Turkey for Saanen, Maltese, Gökçeada, Hair goat, and crossbred kids of Hair goat (9,11,21,22). More specifically, and in line with the findings of this study, no genotypic differences were reported in cold dressing and carcass joint proportions within the literature cited.…”

“…In the current study, the cold dressing percentage based on slaughter weight of Honamlı and Hair goat kids ranged from 43.2% to 48.0% at slaughter days of 60, 80, and 100. Similar cold dressing percentages were also reported by Şimşek and Bayraktar (9), Atay et al (11), and Gürsoy et al (23), while Daskiran et al (20), Yilmaz et al (21), and Gökdal (24) reported lower values. Proportions of carcass parts were generally similar to the results of previous studies at similar carcass weights (9,11,(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25).…”

This study was undertaken to measure the effect of fattening duration (60, 80, and 100 days) on growth performance and carcass characteristics of male kids from indigenous Hair and Honamlı goat breeds reared under intensive fattening systems in Turkey. Fattening duration had a significant effect (P < 0.001) on the fattening performance and a number of carcass characteristics of kids. An interaction was detected between genotype and fattening duration for average daily gain (ADG). Hair goat kids grew at a faster rate than Honamlı kids in the 20-40 day and 40-60 day fattening periods, but they maintained relatively similar ADGs within other fattening periods. On average, over the course of the fattening trial, Honamlı kids grew at an average daily rate of 209 g/head, while Hair goat kids grew at a daily rate of 231 g/head. Dressing percentage and carcass lean and fat percentages of kids increased (P < 0.05-0.001) with slaughter age and weight for both genotypes, whereas the percentage of bone decreased (P < 0.001) with each successive fattening period. No genotypic differences were detected for a number of carcass characteristics at the time of slaughter, with the exception of relatively higher (P < 0.01) fat deposit rates within the kidney and pelvic areas for Hair kids.
