Acta Scientiae Veterinariae, 2019 Background: Skin neoplasms in goats, albeit less frequent than in equines and cattle, are no less important, given that the presence of melanoma is worrisome due to its local and metastatic aggressiveness, which leads to death, especially in northeastern Brazil, where ultraviolet (UV) radiation levels are high, being an important factor the development

Physiological and behavioural responses to fear and discomfort in dogs and goats [PDF]
, 2010 In this thesis, behavioural and physiological methods were combined to better understand reactions to fearful situations in dogs and separation in goats. Fear of gunshots is common in dogs, but also other fears, such as fear of walking on certain floors.

Effects of perinatal stress on the metabolites and lipids in plasma of dairy goats
Stress Biology, 2023 Dairy goats experience metabolic stress during the peripartal period, and their ability to navigate this stage of lactation is related to the occurrence and development of metabolic diseases.

Agonistic behaviour of dairy goats and sheep during feeding – A pilot study on Swiss farms with mixed rations [PDF]
, 2022 Feeding mixed rations is a widely used practice for cattle to ensure the intake of a balanced diet and to reduce competition for food. It is unknown, whether mixed rations have the same advantages for small ruminants because they differ from cattle in ...

Studies on the Metabolism of Dairy Goat
Nihon Chikusan Gakkaiho, 1951 泌乳中及び涸乳中の山羊に乾草を給与した際,次の様な結果を得た。1 同一乾草を与へ,涸乳期と泌乳期の消化率を比較すると両期共差異が無かつた。但しCaの吸収率は泌乳中増加する事が分つた。2 山羊に於ける乾草のカロチンの吸収率は非常に少なく約6%で,その内乳汁中にVitamin Aとして分泌されるものは3%であつた。3 乾草給与山羊のMetabolizable energy摂取量を測定し,前報に報告したNet energyとの差より,維持時及び泌乳時のHeat incrementを決定した。それより更に泌乳の為のHeat incrementを計算すると,泌乳作用に要するHeat incrementは乳汁中に含まれるエネルギー(或ひはFat corrected milk)に関係する事を知つた。それは泌乳1 ...
