This study was conducted to investigate effects of inorganic and organic sulfur supplements on cashmere growth and their differences. Thirty-six six-month-old female Liaoning cashmere goats with a body weight of approximately 25 kg and good health were randomly assigned to three treatments: control, ZnSO4 and HMBi (2-hydroxy-4-(methylthio) butyric acid isopropyl ester). The three groups were fed a basal diet, a ZnSO4 diet (supplemented with 0.63% ZnSO4.H2O) and an HMBi diet (supplemented with 1.27% HMBi), respectively. Blood and cashmere samples were […]
