Productivity of Australian Cashmere Goats Grazing Pangola Grass Pastures and Supplemented with Untreated and Formaldehyde-Treated Protein Meals

    AJ Ash, BW Norton
    TLDR Protein supplements helped goats maintain weight and increased fleece growth, but not cashmere growth.
    The study investigated the productivity of Australian cashmere goats grazing on Pangola grass pastures, with a focus on the effects of supplementing their diet with untreated and formaldehyde-treated protein meals. The research aimed to determine how these dietary supplements influenced the growth and cashmere production of the goats. The findings suggested that the type of protein meal supplementation could impact the productivity of the goats, although specific results and numbers were not provided in the summary. This research contributed to understanding how dietary modifications could enhance livestock productivity in agricultural settings.
