A total of 87 goats were used in these studies. Goats received supplemental dietary S either as sodium sulfate or as DL-methionine in the drinking water or in feed. Sulfur adequacy was assessed by measuring mohair production, feed intake, plasma amino acids, bacterial S-amino acid concentrations, and ruminal parameters. Effects of supplemental S were evaluated at two different stages of growth(growing or adult Angora goats)Effects of supplemental S on ruminal bacteria was assessed with two different goat breeds(Angora and Alpine).  aamino acids  aconcentrates  adiet  afeeds  agoats  amethionine  amohair  anutrients  aruminants  asulfur  aBactéria  aCaprino  aDieta  aEnxofre  aMetionina  aNutrição  aRuminante  aAminoacidos  aCabras  aConcentracao de aminoacido  aGoat  aMineral requirement  aParametro ruminal  aRequerimento mineral  aRumem  aSuplementacao  aSuplementacao mineral  aSupplementary feeding  aSupplementation
