Twelve lactating goats, eight Saanen and four Anglo-Nubian, were distributed in a triplicate 4 \u00d7 4 Latin square design, with four treatments (0, 66.7, 133.3, and 200 g kg\u22121 of dry matter\u2014DM). On the one hand, the LC inclusion increased neutral detergent fiber, indigestible neutral detergent fiber, and potentially digestible neutral detergent fiber (p &lt; 0.001) intake. On the other hand, LC inclusion reduced ether extract and non-fibrous carbohydrate (p &lt; 0.001) intake. There was a reduction in dry matter digestibility (p = 0.018) and an increase in neutral detergent fiber digestibility (p = 0.036). Feeding (p = 0.005) and rumination (p &lt; 0.001) efficiencies increased with LC inclusion. The nitrogen balance was similar for all tested diets; however, we observed recycling metabolism. Based on the studied parameters, mainly milk production and composition, we recommend the LC inclusion of up to 200 g kg\u22121 DM in diets for lactating goats.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani13152535","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,6]],"date-time":"2023-08-06T10:01:53Z","timestamp":1691316113000},"page":"2535","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Licury Cake in Diets for Lactating Goats: Intake, Digestibility, Feeding Behavior, Milk Production and Composition, and Nitrogen Metabolism"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Fernanda G.","family":"Ferreira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Science, Universidade Federal da Bahia, Av.
