Mill) in their natural state on the intake, digestibility, ingestive behavior, milk production, and quality, as well as the economic feasibility for lactating goats. Eight multiparous goats with 30 days of lactation and an average weight of 40 ± 2.5 kg and an average production of 2 ± 1.8 kg/day were used, distributed in a double Latin square design (4x4). The treatments consisted of isoproteic diets which are composed of increasing levels of cactus pear (0, 10, 20, and 30% dry matter). Incorporating cactus pear into the diet of lactating goats resulted in a significant decrease (P0.05) milk production or fat-corrected milk production. Incorporating cactus pear into the diet of lactating goats resulted in a significant decrease (P0.05) milk production or fat-corrected milk production. The level of 30% cactus pear inclusion in the diet of lactating goats increased the economic efficiency of production without affecting milk production and maintaining a good composition of solids. cost gross revenue Manihot sp. milk Opuntia ficus-indica Saanen Full Text Cite Share Download PDF Status: Under Review Version 1 posted Reviewers agreed at journal 18 Oct, 2023 Reviewers invited by journal 20 Sep, 2023 Editor assigned by journal 14 Aug, 2023 First submitted to journal 10 Aug, 2023 You are reading this latest preprint version Research Square lets you share your work early, gain feedback from the community, and start making changes to your manuscript prior to peer review in a journal.
