| Summary: | (Juniperus ashei Buchholz) and live Oak [Quercus virginiana (Small) Sarg. var. fusiformis] during the spring and fall. Angora and Spanish goats were exposed to ashe female, ashe bermudagrass, hay (qnodon dactylon (L.) Pers.), ashe juniper both preferred ashe over redberry juniper (Juniperus cafeteria style feeding trial. Preference was highly concentrations of volatile oils varied significantly between consumption. Sabinene/0-pinene had the greatest effect on Correlation was used to relate to oil concentration with diet. differences in sensitivity to oils. Stepwise regression digestibility of alfalfa (Medicago saliva L.), Coastal existed for Angora and Spanish goats, indicating no for goat type (P<.Ol),species(P<.Ol),orsex(P<.Ol). Spanish goats always consumed juniper more readily than Angoras and grams consumed. Diet by season interactions were highly male, redberry female and redberry male branches in a metabolizable energy for ashe juniper and live oak were low myrcene were also significantly greater for redberry during pinchotii Sudw.) and female over male plants. Mean Preference for 2 species and sexes of juniper, the effects Of preference. Similar positive and negative correlations redberry than ashe for all seasons. Concentrations of significant and consistent across all seasons except winter significant for most variables measured in the metabolism species and across seasons. Concentrations of total oils the spring and summer. these two plant species represent a major portion of their This indicates that goats may need to be supplemented when This study was designed to evaluate the seasonal effects on trials.
