Animal, treatments and management
Four lactating primiparous Lamancha does in midlactation
were used in a 3 9 4 incomplete Latin square
design. Periods were 22 days (d) in duration with a
10 day control phase and a 12 day experimental
phase. The control phase allowed goats to return to
baseline for milk and blood FA. Goats averaged
110.6 day (SD = 5.84 day) in milk (DIM). The animal
procedures were approved by the campus animal care
committee.
