This document summarizes a study comparing goats fed in pens versus on pasture. The pen-fed goats gained more weight on average and had lower worm infection rates. However, the differences in meat quality and fatty acid content between the groups were small and not meaningful. Economically, pen feeding was shown to be advantageous based on increased growth rates and lower feed costs, though these benefits could be offset by parasite control costs for pasture-fed goats. The researchers aim to repeat the study with adjustments to equalize the goat groups and feeding methods.
