“…Following physical examination and assessment of males' reproductive organs, semen samples needs to be collected. This is achieved by collecting semen samples with the aid of an approved artificial vagina or electro ejaculation method [50,51]. Following collection, the semen samples are evaluated for semen volume, pH, sperm cell motility [52], semen colour [53], sperm cell concentration, acrosome and membrane integrity [54], live/dead and morphology [55].…”

The following are aspects were discussed in this chapter: Domestication of goats – checking on when the goats were first domesticated and for what purposes; Current goat industry - looking on the contribution of goats economically; Conservation of domestic animal diversity - looking on the importance of conserving indigenous animals since some of them are under threat of extinction; Male goat fertility – discussing male fertility indicators; Characterisation approaches - different approaches to be followed when characterising indigenous species; and Phenotypic and genetic characterisation of indigenous goats.

“…An electro ejaculator (Ramsem, South Africa) was used to collect semen from bucks as described by Sundararaman et al (2007) with few modifications. Briefly, after the probe was inserted inside the rectum, the buck was massaged and the machine button was pressed producing a voltage of 3-5 volts.…”

We hypothesized that supplementing goats with β-carotene would increase milk yield and improve milk quality. Therefore, the current study aimed at evaluating the effect of supplemental β-carotene on milk yield and milk components. Goats were divided into two groups, one group received β-carotene 100 and 50 mg/head/day before and during the drying off period, respectively, while the second group received water as placebo with similar quantities. Colostrum samples were collected for three days and the milk samples were collected once a week for a month. Milk yield, protein%, fat%, lactose% and Somatic Cell Counts (SCC) were analysed. Milk fat, lactose and protein were analysed using Spectrometer and SCC was analysed using Cytometer. The data collected for milk yield, fat, protein and lactose and SCC were analysed using one-way analysis of variance for repeated measures with PROC GLM procedure of SAS (version 9.4). The study found no effect of supplemental β-carotene on milk yield and milk composition. Therefore, it can be concluded that supplemental β-carotene does not influence milk yield and milk composition of Saanen goats during the drying off period.
