Aiming to study the influence of parturition order and milking time in the production and physical-chemical composition of colostrum and transition milk secretion of Saanen goats, three groups of animals were used (16 from the first parturition; 17 from the second and 8 from the third or more parturitions) and samples were collected at zero, 12 and 24 h after kidding. Parturition order did not interfere in colostrum and transition milk secretion productions, neither in the studied characteristics (acidity, density, […]

Groups of crossbred castrated and intact goats were slaughtered at 175, 220, 265 and 310 days of age. The effect of castration and slaughter age on physical-chemical, sensorial and aromatic properties was researched. Calcium content was influenced by castration; however, slaughter age had a significant effect on moisture, protein, iron, calcium and pH. Castration and slaughter age had no significant effect on phospholipids contents, but slaughter age affected the percentage of total cholesterol. Fatty acids were significantly affected by castration. […]
