Weight gains, blood parameters and faecal egg counts when meat-goat kids were finished on alfalfa, red clover and orchardgrass pastures

The experiment was conducted in 2005–2007 to evaluate weight performance, blood parameters associated with forage nutrient‐use and anaemia from gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infection, and faecal egg count (FEC) patterns of meat‐goat kids finished on alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.; ALF); red clover/g...

Zusammenfassung:The experiment was conducted in 2005–2007 to evaluate weight performance, blood parameters associated with forage nutrient‐use and anaemia from gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infection, and faecal egg count (FEC) patterns of meat‐goat kids finished on alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.; ALF); red clover/grass mixture (Trifolium pratense L.; RCG); and orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L; OGR) pastures. Forage mass, crude protein (CP) and total digestible nutrients (TDN) displayed complex interactions between treatment and time (P
