Abstract |
In the state of Chihuahua, Mexico,
raising goat suckling kids was proposed as an alternative to the
emerging economic development as means to sustain the activity. The goat
population is predominantly composed of French Alpine breed. The aim of
this study was to assess the performance, carcass characteristics and
meat quality of ten suckling kids of French Alpine breed. The results
showed acceptable level for most of the parameters studied for carcass
yield and characteristics such as live weight, hot carcass weight, hot
carcass yield, cold carcass weight, cold carcass yield, carcass yield,
mesenteric fat, as well as physico-chemical composition of the muscle
Biceps femoralis in term of
moisture, protein, fat, ash, pH and color. The study proposed
that raising French
Alpine breed male kids
reaches at marking age at an
early age to fulfill the
demand of the consumers.
