R.  aInfluence of forage-to-concentrate ratios on intake, digestibility, chewing and milk production of dairy goats.h[electronic resource]  c1991  aLactating Saanen x Marota dairy goats in a 3x3 latin square designed experiment were studied for the effects of forage-to-concentrate ratios on intake, digestibility, chewing activities, milk production and contents. Treatments were isonitrogenous diets of cunha(Clitoria ternatea) silage and cassava(Manihot esculenta) meal with forage-to-concentrate ratios of 75:25, 60:40, or 45:55, respectively. Intake of dry matter(g/day and g/Kg BW 0,75 per day) increased with a decrease in forage-to-concentrate ratio. Digestibility of dry matter increased while that of neutral detergent fiber decreased as forage-to-concentrate ratio decreased. Chewing efficiency(min/g NDF per Kg BW 0,75) decreased as forage-to-concentrate ratio decreased. Milk production was not affected by the forage-to-concentrate ratios 75:5, 60:40 and 45:55, respectively. Body weight changes appeared to be negatively correlated to forage-to-concentrate ratios.  aBrazil  adiet  adigestibility  amilk  aConsumo  aDieta  aDigestibilidade  aLeite  aRuminação  aBrasil  aCaprino leiteiro  aCeara  aChewing  aComposicao  aComposition  aDairy goat  aIntake1 aLOPES, J.1 aDANELON, D.
