Effects of feeding in different quality rangelands on meat quality and fatty acids composition in Angora goat kids and young bucks

The effects of feeding in different quality rangelands on meat and fatty acids composition Angora goat kids bucks were determined. Twenty male selected from each farm that produces goats the area.
