This study aimed to evaluate the performance of crossbred goats fed whey associated with bovine milk , substituting goat milk until 60 days of life . We used 24 male goats , neutered without defined breed SPRD , being divided into three treatments and eight replications goat milk ( control), 50 % of bovine milk + 50 % of whey , milk cattle . The development was evaluated by weekly weighing and body measurements of withers height , hip height , heart girth and body length . Consumption estimates were made by measuring daily consumption of hay and concentrated by the method supply / spare. All variables were tested with Tukey comparison of means ( 5 % probability ) . Total consumption , weight gain as well as biometric measurements showed significant differences between treatments ( P < .05 ) . The Animis suckled with whey and bovine milk showed lower performance than other treatments
