- Abstract
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the quality of colostrum, milk and offspring development in goats supplemented with mesquite pods (Prosopis spp.) and orange bagasse (Citrus sinensis). Twentysix multiracial goats in the last third of gestation were divided into three homogeneous groups with respect to body weight and body condition. The mesquite group (GM; n=9) was supplemented with 250 g/animal/day of mesquite pods, the orange group (GN; n=11) was supplemented with 250 g/animal/day of orange bagasse meal and the control group (CG; n=10) was not supplemented. The body weight of the goats of the three groups was similar during the study (P>0.05). Likewise, no statistical difference was found (P>0.05) in any of the other variables analyzed: blood glucose and ketone bodies, quality of colostrum at calving of the dams, milk quality and body weight of the offspring. The results allow us to conclude that supplementation before and during parturition with orange bagasse or mesquite pods does not influence the quality of colostrum and milk, nor the development of the offspring in goats from the semidesert of Mexico.
