Short summary
The objective of this study was to determine the effect on goat kids of supplementation with protein–xanthophyll concentrate (PX) obtained from alfalfa (Medicago sativa). Beneficial effects of feeding with PX concentrate were found in a higher loin percentage and improved tissue composition resulting from lower fat tissue content. The PX dietary supplement improved the chemical composition of the muscle tissue by increasing the content of protein and unsaturated fatty acids.
