JOURNAL OF THE AIR & WASTE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION, 58(9), 1145–1157.
MeSH headings : Agriculture; Air Pollutants, Occupational / analysis; Ammonia / analysis; Animals; North Carolina; Swine / physiology; Waste Disposal, Fluid / methods

Dietary Chemical Composition, Plasma Metabolites and Hormones in Range Goats
JOURNAL OF APPLIED ANIMAL RESEARCH, 34(1), 81–86.
author keywords: Chemical composition; diet; blood metabolites; lactation; plasma hormones; range goats
TL;DR:
Plasma metabolite concentrations suggested that an energy supplementation schedule might be necessary during the early lactation period of goats, and if harsh climatic conditions appear at the end of lactation, an increment of 70% in their energy maintenance requirements might be considered to avoid weight losses and to improve body condition of goats prior to breeding season.
