Sex and genotype effect on productive performance of goats in feedlot
The productive performance of Canindé and Repartida goats in feedlot was evaluated using 32 goats: eight males and eight females of each genotype, five months old of mean initial weight 12.5 kg. The experimental design was completely randomized with a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement. The ration consisted of 70% concentrate and 30% yucca silage. Dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) intakes, total weight gain (TWG) and average daily gain (ADG) were not affected by genotypes but differed between sexes wherein male goats of both genotypes exceeded the females in all of the variables cited. Canindé and Repartida goats give a similar productive performance in feedlot, but the males outperform the females.
