@article{article_438429, title={Body Weight and Body Measurement Traits of Hair, Alpine x Hair F1 and Saanen x Hair F1 Crossbred Does Raised at Rural Conditions in Konya Province}, journal={Selcuk Journal of Agriculture and Food Sciences}, volume={30}, pages={49–53}, year={2016}, author={Erduran, Hakan and Dağ, Birol}, abstract={<p>The aim of this study was to determine the pre-mating period live weights and body measurements of 216 head of Hair, 232 head of Alpine x Hair F <sub>1 </sub> (AHF <sub>1 </sub>)  and 167 head of Saanen x Hair F <sub>1 </sub> crossbred does (SHF <sub>1 </sub>)  were raised at three different herds in the Selçuklu, Konya provinces under semi intensive conditions. </p> <p>Average live weights of Hair, AHF <sub>1 </sub> and SHF <sub>1 </sub> crossbred does were found 50.8 kg, 50.1 kg and 48.9 kg respectively.  The effects of genotype, parity, herd and year on the live weight (P<0.01) were significant.  </p> <p>In this study,  the average withers height, rump height, body length, hearth girth, leg girth, left wrist girth, chest width, rump width and chest depth of Hair, AHF <sub>1 </sub>and SHF <sub>1 </sub> crossbred does were measured as 71.7 cm, 71.3 cm and 70.8 cm;  as 72.4 cm, 71.9 cm and 71.5 cm; as 69.1 cm, 68.8 cm and 68.3 cm; as 83.0 cm, 82.2 cm and 81.9 cm; as 56.4 cm, 56.0 cm and 55.5 cm; as 11.4 cm, 11.3 cm and 11.2 cm; as 16.6 cm, 16.6 cm and 16.4 cm; as 17.0 cm, 17.0 cm and 16.8 cm; as 32.5 cm, 32.4 cm and  32.2 cm respectively. The effect of genotype (except for hearth girth and chest depth), parity, herd and year on the all examined traits (P<0.01; P<0.05) were significant.  </p>As a result, İt can be said that the live weight traits of Hair goats were higher than SHF <sub>1 </sub>crossbred does under the rural conditions, while live weight of SHF <sub>1 </sub> crossbred does may be succeed through adaptation and selective breeding programmers.}, number={1}, publisher={Selcuk University}
