Abstract

The objective of this study was to examine the effects of different stocking densities on Matou goats. Thirty-six female Matou goats were randomly assigned into three experimental treatments including the low density (LD, 0.67 goat/m2), the medium density (MD, 1 goat/m2) and the high density (HD, 2 goats/m2) group. Compared with LD group, the average daily weight gain (ADG) of HD group decreased (p < 0.05). Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) mRNA expression level was the highest in MD group (p
