An experiment was conducted at livestock farm IAAS Rampur during the year
2001/02 to study about the growth performance of Israeli crossbred goat.
Accordingly body growth related parameters at birth, and at weaning were
compared with respect to the type of birth (single versus multiple); sex of
birth (male versus female), and season of birth (winter versus summer).
Basically, parameters such as birth weight, body length, heart girth, and wither
height were measured and their differences compared. The results showed a
significantly different (p<0.05) birth weight with respect to the important
parameters for growth such as type, sex and season of the birth. Similarly, body
length, heart girth and wither height measured were also significantly different
(p<0.05) with respect to those parameters measured. On the other hand weaning
weight also differed significantly (P<0.05) for those parameters indicating
variation in performance of Israeli cross bred goat with respect to the
important determinants for growth. |
