Relación entre rasgos de mediciones corporales, rasgos de mediciones de la ubre y producción de leche de cabras Saanen en el distrito de Capricorn de Sudáfrica
The association between body measurements and udder measurements can be used towards the improvement of milk yield. The objective of the study was to investigate the correlation between udder measurement traits and milk yield. The study was conducted at Sikline village in Mankweng, Capricorn district of Limpopo province, South Africa where a total number of 30 lactating Saanen goats were used. Pearson’s correlation technique was used for data analysis. The results showed a significant (P<0.05) correlation between distance between teats and milk yield (r= 0.45) and a highly negative significant (P˂0.01) correlation between teat diameter and milk yield (r= -0.57). Body weight and milk yield (r= 0.54) had a highly positive significant correlation (P˂0.01). The finding of the current study implies that body weight and distance between teats can be used to improve the milk yield in Saanen goats. The finding of the study might be used to predict the milk yield of Saanen goats. However, further studies need to be conducted on relation of body and udder measurements and milk yield using higher sample size.
期刊介绍:
The MEXICAN MAGAZINE OF SCIENCES PECUARIAS is an organ of scientific and technical diffusion of the livestock sector. Its periodicity is quarterly and arbitrated by pairs in the double-blind mode. Its objective is to make known the results of the research carried out by any scientific institution, in Mexico and in any part of the world, related to the livestock sciences, particularly those that refer to the different disciplines of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science. The Journal is bilingual, publishes the complete articles in Spanish or English and is included in various indexing services and international dissemination platforms, such as the Index of Mexican Journals of Scientific and Technological Research of the National Council of Science and Technology (CONACYT); In the EBSCO Host database; In the Network of Scientific Journals of Latin America and the Caribbean, Spain and Portugal (RedALyC); In the Ibero-American Network of Scientific Journals of Free Access Veterinary Medicine. Indexed in the ISI Journal Citation Report Science Edition; And Elsevier''s SCOPUS and EMBASE indices.
