This study evaluated the effects of replacing ground corn with buriti oil (Mauritia flexuosa L.)
on feed intake and digestibility and on the production, composition, fatty acid profile and …

Simple Summary Accurately measuring the wet pool size of the gastrointestinal tract
(GITwps) provides valuable information for understanding how digesta behaves in relation …

Requirements for growth in the different sexes remain poorly quantified in goats. The
objective of this study was to develop equations for estimating net protein (NP G) and net …

The objective of this study is to provide approaches to determine mature weight of female
and intact and castrated male Saanen goats using body composition data. Our database …

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of sex on the requirements for
maintenance and efficiency of energy utilization in growing Saanen goats. A database from …

It has been suggested that maintenance requirements are similar among animals of different
physiological stages; however, important physiological changes occur in the maternal body …

The objective of this study was to develop statistical models to predict empty body weight
(EBW) by body weight (BW), testing the influence of sex (females, intact males or castrated …

Abstract A Monte Carlo Risk Assessment (MCRA) was used to investigate the variability of
existing empirical equations to predict dry matter intake (DMI) for weaned Saanen goats …

We conducted a study in which body composition, energy and protein requirements, and
efficiency of MP and ME were determined in F1 Boer× Saanen goat kids of 5 to 25 kg BW by …

Visceral organs play an important role in animals' energy requirements, so their growth must
be well understood. The objective of the current study was to fit and compare growth curves …
