Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleWinter Forage Program Benefitted Small-Scale Goat ProducersUma Karki, Lila Bahadur KarkiSmall and limited resource farmers are raising goats on pastures in the southeast USA. Nevertheless, many of these farms do not have productive and quality pastures to support the nutrient requirements of their animals. Information on forages that are suitable to improve goat pastures and sustainably grazing those pastures with goats is still lacking. Study objectives were to (1) find … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 13 Jun 2017 · 8,350 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of a Mushroom (Coriolus versicolor) Based Probiotic on Goat HealthKingsley Ekwemalor, Emmanuel Asiamah, Sarah Adjei-Fremah, Mulumebet WorkuMaintenance of an adequate immune response is essential to goat health. CorPet biomass is a mushroom (Coriolus versicolor) based probiotic used as an immune-stimulant in man, horses and small animals. Fifteen BoerXSpanish goats were used in a crossover design to evaluate the effect of a commercial mushroom based probiotic across two periods on resilience of goats to gastrointestinal parasites in … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 4 Oct 2016 · 7,923 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFlow Cytometry Baseline on Peripheral Leukocyte Cell Profiles for Dairy Goat KidsDarcy M. Fletcher, Megan B. Vogt, Hannah E. Pirner et al.Small ruminants, like goats, would make excellent animal models for not only infectious diseases in large ruminants but also analogous diseases in humans, such as human tuberculosis, Crohn’s disease, melioidosis and brucellosis. The main disadvantage for the small ruminant model is the lack of sufficient baseline data on normal, healthy goat kids. Furthermore, most reagents (antibodies and the like) were … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 26 Sep 2013 · 7,572 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMolecular Characterization of Assam Hill GoatGalib Uz Zaman, Naba Nahardeka, Subimal Laskar et al.A total of 23 polymorphic microsatellite markers were used to evaluate genetic diversity and population structure in Assam Hill Goat (AHG). All the loci studied were polymorphic in nature. The number of observed alleles (Na) detected ranged from 2 to 10 with an overall mean of 4.9±2.220. A total of 114 alleles were observed across all the loci. The effective … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 13 Jul 2013 · 7,458 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGenetic Diversity Analysis of the Gohilwari Breed of Indian Goat (Capra hircus) Using Microsatellite MarkersSubodh Kumar, S. P. Dixit, N. K. Verma et al.Problem statement: Gohilwari breed of goat is a multipurpose goat mainly for milk and meat purposes and best suited in its harsh climatic condition. This breed is inadequately characterized till now at DNA level. So the present study was undertaken for population genetic analysis at molecular level to exploit the breed for planning sustainable improvement, conservation and utilization, which subsequently … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,925 accessesView PDFCite
