Subscribe/Renew Journal
Data of 876 observations of body weight and measurements at weaning age of Konkan Kanyal goats were collected from records maintained at Livestock Research Station, Nileli. It was revealed that the average body weight and measurements at weaning age as 8.67±0.055 kg body weight and 49.25±0.072 cm height at wither, 47.74±0.06 cm body length and 46.53±'0.063 cm hearth girth, respectively. The effect of year of birth, season of birth, sex and birth weight had significantly affected on body weight and all the body measurements at weaning age (3 months). However, the type of birth had not significantly affected on weaning body weight and all the body measurements in Konkan Kanyal kids.
