Extract

There is considerable interest in the production of Cashmere fibre by goats in the UK. Cashmere is a fine fibre produced by goats of many genotypes and crossbreeding programmes involving animals imported from overseas countries and indigenous goats have recently been established.

Further information is required on the production and physiological characteristics of goats produced in these programmes. The objective of the present study was to determine milk production, vitamin and immunological status of goats as affected by prepartum housing date and buck genotype.
