Lasalocid-supplemented diets for improving carcass characteristics, meat quality, and fatty acids content of goats

This study investigated the effects of lasalocid supplementation on the diet of goats to improve carcass characteristics, meat quality traits, and fatty acid content. Sixty intact male Ardhi goats were used. The kids were divided into four treatment groups, each with 15 animals, and further subdivid...

description This study investigated the effects of lasalocid supplementation on the diet of goats to improve carcass characteristics, meat quality traits, and fatty acid content. Sixty intact male Ardhi goats were used. The kids were divided into four treatment groups, each with 15 animals, and further subdivided into five subgroups, each with three goats, in a completely randomized design. Data on carcass characteristics, meat quality, and fatty acid profiles were obtained. The LAS treatment significantly affected the chill shrinkage and dressing percentage on the empty body weight. Saturated fatty acids decreased, whereas essential polyunsaturated fatty acids increased with the addition of supplements. In conclusion, including lasalocid in the diets of Ardhi goats enhanced the carcass characteristics of the animals, whereas meat quality traits were not negatively affected by the supplement.
