| The purpose was to estimate the liquid requirements of Zn, Fe, Mn and Cu for weight gain in 46 castrated Canindé goats in grazing system in the Caatinga supplemented with 0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5% levels in relation to live weight. The animals had an initial average body weight of 15.76 ± 0.96 kg. Six animals were slaughtered at the onset of the experiment (16.1 ± 1.15 kg BW) and the rest (n = 40) were randomly distributed into one of the four levels of supplementation. The body composition (mg kg-1 EBW) varied from 8.47 to 9.09 mg Zn, 13.54 to 13.77 mg Fe, 6.34 to 6.36 mg Mn and 3.78 to 5.10 mg Cu, for Canindé goats with 15 and 25 kg BW, respectively, and the liquid requirements for gain (mg kg-1 BW gain) were estimated by the comparative slaughter method, and... |

| The objective of the present study was to assess the growth performance and carcass traits of Moxotó goat kids fed different levels concentrate (supplement) (SL) on native pasture under semiarid conditions in Brazil. Thirty-two castrated kids (15.7±0.78 kg initial BW) were allocated randomly to one of the four SL (treatment groups: 0, 5, 10 and 15 g/kg BW). When the animals of treatment group 15 g/kg BW reached 25 kg BW, the animals in the other treatments groups were also slaughtered. Therefore, the animals belonging to the 0, 5, 10 and 15 g/kg of BW were finished with 18.40, 21.04, 22.94 and 25.74 kg of BW, respectively. The concentrate supplementation positively influenced the performance and the carcass traits of animals, providing higher feed intake... |
