The growth and survival rate of hair goat kids raised by public in Karaman region

Abstract

The objective of this research, which was based on the data obtained during a five-year period between 2011-2016 from the Hair goat herds in mountainous areas of Karaman within the National Sheep and Goat Improvement Project, was to investigate growth and survival rate of Hair goat kids between birth and weaning.The animal material of the study was consisted of total 25714 Hair goat kids. The goats were weighed at birth and on 120th day. According to the data obtained from these measurements, the growth and survival rate of the goat kids were calculated. For the statistical analysis of the data, general linear model was used for growth and Khi-square test was used for survival rate analysis. For general average of five years, birth weight average was 3.55 kg for male kids, and 3.40 kg for females; the average weight on 120th day was 23.57 kg for male kids and 21.72 kg for female kids; the daily live weight gain for male and female kids were found as 166.8 g and 151.4 g respectively. The survival rate of the Hair goat kids showed changes according to years and the rate was generally found as 89.3%. Among the factors whose effects were analyzed, year, dam’s age, birth type and sex had significant effect on analyzed features (P<0.001). As a result, it was determined that growth rate was higher, while survival rate was consistent with the existing literature. It was also determined that the growth rate was higher in later years when compared to earlier years of the study
