Fatty acid composition of goat muscles and fat depots: a review.
TL;DR: Need for further experimentation to characterize interactions among factors such as breed, age and nutritional conditions in the fatty acid composition of carcass lipids of goats so as to gain a fuller understanding of goat meat quality.

Effects of live weight at slaughter (6, 10 and 25 kg) on kid carcass and meat quality
TL;DR: Results suggest that increasing LWT from 6 to 10 and 25 kg for kids artificially reared does not have negative effects on carcass or meat quality yet would result in more edible meat (pounds) to be marketed.

The influence of goat genotype on the production of Capretto and Chevon carcasses. 1. Growth and carcass characteristics.
TL;DR: BS and SF kids performed better than kids from other genotypes used for production of Capretto and Chevon carcasses based on growth and carcass characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutritional and quality characteristics of meat from goats and lambs finished under identical dietary regime
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the chemical composition and quality characteristics of chevon and lamb from animals raised under similar conditions, and found no differences in moisture, protein, and fat percentages between the LM of goats and lambs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of breed and castration on slaughter weight and carcass composition of goats
TL;DR: Despite differences in carcass fat and lean proportions between intact and castrated males, the dressing percentage difference was small (0.1%).

The effects of diet and other factors on the lipid composition of ruminant tissues and milk.
TL;DR: The content and composition of lipids in the plasma of newborn and adult ruminants was found to be very low and the fatty acid compositions of individual lipid components resembled those of nonruminant animals in a state of essential fatty-acid deficiency, however, the plasma lipid compositions tended to resemble those of more mature animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of feeding methods and age at slaughter on growth performances and carcass characteristics of entire young male goats
TL;DR: The use of milk replacer only seems to be satisfactory up to a live weight of about 18 kg; thereafter, addition of concentrates to the diet is preferable and for slaughter weights above 25 kg, it is economically better to wean the kids even if the growth rate is reduced.

Production de Chevreaux lourds : II. — Influence du niveau d'ingestion de lait et du sevrage sur les performances et la composition du tissu adipeux
TL;DR: Les données ont permis de définir sur les animaux sevrés deux indices quantifiant respectivement la richesse en acides gras saturés, particulièrement en acide stéarique du gras interne, et, the richesse in acide gras mineurs du gr as sous-cutané.
