The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects incorporating Bacillus spp.-fermented mixture (FM; 55% soybean meal and 45% feather meal) in starter feed goat kids, specifically its on growth performance, blood profile, carcass characteristics, gastrointestinal traits; FM protein profile also evaluated. Seventy-five four-week-old male dairy kids were randomly assigned three different diet gro...

Dairy goat and sheep farms suffer severe economic losses due to intramammary infections, with Staphylococcus aureus representing the main cause of clinical mastitis in small ruminants. In addition, S. aureus contamination of goat and sheep milk may cause staphylococcal food poisoning, as many traditional caprine and ovine milk products are not subjected to pasteurization. Data on virulence and ...

Inadequate Ca intakes are a concern for global public health. In France, most dietary Ca is provided by dairy products: milks, fermented milks (mostly yogurts), dairy desserts and cheeses. The present dairy database (n 837) included milks (n 101), fermented milks, yogurts and other fresh dairy products (n 326), desserts (n 162) and a wide variety of cheeses (n 248). Energy and nutrient values w...

Abstract Background Strongylid nematode infections may negatively affect both animal health and welfare, with deleterious consequences for livestock productivity. Many farmers in recent decades have relied on anthelmintics as the sole strategy of control, but intensive use these chemotherapeutics has led to development anthelmintic resistance (AR). Knowledge efficacy factors promoting AR are es...

The domestic goat (Capra hircus) plays a key role in global agriculture, being especially prized in regions of marginal pasture. However, the advent of industrialized breeding has seen a dramatic reduction in genetic diversity within commercial populations, while high extinction rates among feral herds have further depleted the reservoir of genetic variation available. Here, we present the firs...
