摘要: Abstract Diet selection by juvenile and adult non-pregnant, non-lactating goats the diets of non-productive with low (≤ 1.5; grading scale 0–5) moderate (≥ 2.5) body condition score (BCS) are described microhistological analysis fecal samples for a Chihuahuan desert vegetation in northern Mexico. In rainy season, utilized more (P < 0.10) shrubs than (70.4 vs 58.6%), but, dry diet both groups contained equal amounts shrubs. The proportion forbs grasses goats' also tended to vary between age season. Juvenile generally had lower consumption plants spines goats. Goats BCS selected Forbs were eaten larger does (38% diet) during season compared (30.9%). Regardless reserves, formed le...
