Muscle fibres have an important impact on meat quality. There are different types of skeletal muscle fibres, mainly oxidative and glycolytic. The present study showed that dairy breeds and goat kids raised with milk replacer had less oxidative fibres than meat breeds and goat kids raised with their dams. In addition, the muscle fibres measured in this study were smaller in dairy breeds and kids raised with milk replacer than in meat breeds and goat kids raised with the dams.
