Goats are considered to be one of the best adapted ruminant species to extreme enviromental condition. It has been suggested that this ability may be partially due to their highly efficient use of plant structural polysaccharides, a feature which depends on ruminal activity. However there is a lack of data on rumen function parameters in the goats. Whithin the framework of the LUCDEME project a number of trials have been carried out with the aim of obtaining a better understanding of rumen activity in Granadina goats which have been fed diets obtained by replacing lucerne hay by vetch straw, a lignocellulosic resource from arid lands of the Southeast of Spain. The experimental diets were offered to castrated adult males in sufficient amount to meet their energy requirements for maintenance. A comparative study was made of the patterns of ruminal parameters: pH, NH3 and VFA. Our results suggest that the rumen activity in the goats was high even when low nutritive diets were ingested.
