Abstract:

Records on 848 West African dwarf goat kids and 220 kiddings over a period of eight year's (1982-1989) were analyzed. The records were used to provide estimates of phenotypic and venetic correlations among parity, kidding interval, litter size at birth and body weight at various ages. Plenotypic correlation coefficients of +0.33 (P<0.01) and -0,17 (P<0.01) were obtained when parity was correlated with litter size at birth and kidding interval respectively. Phenotypic correlations among body weights were generally positive and significant (P<0.01). Parity was positively correlated (P&l

Records of 848 West African Dwarf goat kids and 220 kiddings over a period of eight years (1982-1989) were analysed. The records were used to provide heritability and repeatability estimates for litter size at birth, kidding interval (repeatability estimate alone) and body weight at birth, weaning, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 1 year of age. Heritability estimates of 0.28±0.005, 0.18±0.003, 0.14±0.003, 0.29±0.005, 0.11±0.003 and 0.17±0.004 were obtained for litter size at birth, body weight at birth, and at weaning, 3 months, 6 months, and 9 months of age respectively.

Abstract This study examined if co-twin status influenced reproductive and health traits in meat goat does. Herd records of does identified as twin-born between 2003-2022 in the Tennessee State University Research herd were evaluated for fitness traits as two and three-year-olds. Twin category (TC) was classified as female co-twin (n = 188; FT) or male co-twin (n = 194; MT). Study does were the crossbred or purebred daughters of Kiko, Myotonic, Spanish, and South African (Boer and Savanna) sire breeds. Traits analyzed were birth weight (BWT), weaning weight ratio (WWR), doe breeding body weigh

The objectives of this study were to assess the growth and reproductive performance of goats in a pastoral and agropastoral area and Borana-Pastoralists’ preferences for the traits of the indigenous goats. A total of 97 households were interviewed and a total of 194 goats were tracked for six months to collect data. The collected data were analysed using SAS’s GLM and descriptive statistics. The results indicated that pastoralists in the study areas were practicing extensive production systems. The ratio of males to females aged less than six months was proportional.

Abstract:

Dairy goats are a very successful form of livestock farming in developing countries, with functional products for human consumption, which makes their breeding attractive. Breeding efficiency is determined by successful reproductive parameters. Several parameters can be used as indicators of reproductive success, such as the number of kids born, age at first kidding, kidding interval, percentage of kids born and weaned, abortion rate, body weight of kids at birth and at weaning, and the length of the goat's reproductive life. Due to the seasonality of reproduction and multiple possibilities of

Abstract:

The economic value of the goat depends upon its growth and reproductive and productive efficiency. The growth determines the meat producing ability up to a marketable age i.e. 6 months. Rapid growth during the pre-weaning period minimizes the cost of rearing, thus providing more profit to the farmer. The present investigation reports the effect of genetic groups, years and season of birth, sex of kid, type of birth and dam's weight at kidding on pre-weaning growth traits, and the extent of the genetic variability and covariability among these traits.
