The type of diet can alter both qualitative and quantitative traits of
the ruminant carcasses and, consequently, the quality of the meat.
However, no studies have assessed the effects of using untreated castor
de-oiled cake fed over a long period in goats. This information is necessary for the marketing of animals and for ensuring food safety to those
who use goat products as an important protein source, but also for
effective utilization of untreated castor de-oil as source of ruminant
feeds. This study aimed to determine the influence of castor de-oiled
cake diet provided for a long period on carcasses traits and quality of
goat meat.
