PEREZ-HERNANDEZ, María del Carmen et al. Productive indicators of Murciano-Granadina goats under post-quarantine conditions in Cuba. Pastos y Forrajes [online]. 2024, vol.47  Epub 05-Ago-2024. ISSN 2078-8452.

Objective: To characterize the performance of some productive indicators of Murciano-Granadina goats under post-quarantine conditions in western Cuba.

Materials and Methods: To evaluate the production and quality of milk, 10 lactating females and 12 kids of their offspring were selected during a period of 30 days. The quality indicators were: density, fat, nonfat solids, acidity and reductase. A semi-intensive production system was established, with controlled grazing and feeding trough supplementation with the protein forage plant Cratylia argentea (Desvaux O. Kuntze).

Results: Survival of 97,4 % and 1,2 kids per birth were obtained during the study. Birth weight of the kids was 1,7 kg and daily gain was 0,08 kg. Average daily milk production was higher than 1,4 kg/goat.

Conclusions: The analysis of the evaluated indicators allowed the characterization of the productive performance of the first genetic nucleus of Murciano-Granadina breed goats established in Cuba. In addition, the production and quality of milk produced by these goats comply with the genetic potential of this breed.
