Relationship Between Weather Data and Birth of Norduz Goats

Abstract

This study was planned to reveal the frequency of birth of Norduz goats, which are traditionally bred in semi-intensive conditions in the days when audible and inaudible weather events occur, and the importance of relevant weather data. For this purpose, data was obtained from total of 139 Norduz goats bred in 11 neighboring farms located at the same coordinate (38° 34' 8.634" N, 43° 15' 53.283" E) and altitude (1656 m) in the Van Province, Eastern Turkey. Data of the age of goat (AG), horn size of goat (HG), ear size of goat (EG) sex of kid (SK), type of birth (TB), date of birth (DB) and birth time (BT) were collected 2 times in 24-hour at the kidding season between 16th February and 7th April 2016. The other hand, from the date of birth, 2 types weather reports of the General Directorate of Meteorology were collected. In this date range according to the 1st report, 9 different weather events were observed as 26.667% few clouds (FC); 23.333% very cloudy (VC); 13.333% rain mixed with snow (RMS) and sunny (SUN); 6.667% cloudy (C), partly cloudy (PC) and heavy rain (HR); 3.333% rainy (R) and snowy (SNW). In the light of the first of these data, the air events observed in this study were accepted as audible (RMS, HR, R, SNW) and inaudible (FC, VC, SUN, C, PC) weather events. Also, the highest number of birth (n = 29) took place in RMS weather on 7th day of the 52 days birth calendar. And 5 of these births were twins. From here it was attempted to interpret the effects of audible and inaudible weather events on the birth performance of goats. On the other hand, at the 2nd report, 7 different weather forecast (daytime (DT 6.57 ± 0.18 °C), night (NT -0.29 ± 0.24 °C), sensible (ST -0.28 ± 0.14 °C), humidity (H 17.59 ± 0.55 g/kg), sight distance (SD 10.60 ± 0.28 km), pressure (P 16.04 ± 0.22 Nm-2) and dew point (DP 0.72 ± 0.14 °C) were obtained from the same source and were presented.
