Sustentabilidad de la producción caprina en la meseta central de Mendoza, Argentina
The objective of the present work was know the botanical composition of the goat's intake in natural pasture, between them years 2011-2013, and the quality forage of them species that greater participation presented along them cycles vegetative covered between 2013-2015, in the Plateau Central of Mendoza. This was evaluated in 54 Criollo adult goats by Fecal Micro-histology method in Regrowth, Flowering and vegetative Latency phases. Forage quality of species with greater participation was assessed by levels of crude protein, Official Methods of Analices (AOAC, 1980), Neutral Detergent Fiber, Acid Detergent Fiber (Van Soest, Robertson and Lewis, 1991) and Digestibility In Vitro Dry Matter (Barnes and Marten, 1980). The media and standard desviation was studied by ANAVA and Tukey test. The bushes were the most consumed species, 53.03% on Regrowth, 64.7%, in Florewing and 74.2% in Latency, highlighting species Lycium sp., Schinus sp. and Prosopis sp, as which participated in the three phenological moments of the natural pasture, with levels of intake upper to the 8% in, each moment
