In this case the raw meat and milk will be supplemented with PUFA before product formulation and development. Likewise, weaned kids to finishing weight goats without diet supplementation of PUFA will be used.
First, the animal diets will be supplemented with polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) before slaughter or milk collection for product development. Two sources of raw goat meat and milk will be harvested. Results of data collected by trained research personnel will be analyzed using the statistical tools.Value-added goat products (including sausages, ice cream, yogurt and cheese) will be developed and tested for sensory and non-sensory characteristics.
Surveys will be available in English and Spanish, with communities selected by stratified sampling. As a start, we will develop, validate and pilot a survey instrument to measure goat product acceptability as determined by cultural influences, demographics and generational acceptance. This will be accomplished in part by development of nutritious and healthful value-added caprine products from goats raised on the PVAMU Farm. Non Technical Summary This project aims to develop value-added caprine products that support the USDA-NIFA priority areas of Childhood Obesity Prevention, Food Safety, and Food Security.
