Özet

In this study, it was studied that viability in preweaning period and growth performance in the period from birth to 8 months of age of Hair kids (Anatolian Black Goat). A total data of 439 kids in 2003 and 2004 years were used in the study. survival rates of kids at 1(st), 2(nd) and 3(rd) months were 98.86%, 96.81% and 95.44%, respectively. The effects of year, farm and age of dam on this trait were statistically insignificant, although the effect of birth type on only the survival rate at 3(rd) month was significant (p<0.05). The body weights of kids at birth, 1(st), 2(nd), 3(rd), 4(th), 5(th), 6(th), 7(th) and 8(th) months were 2.19 kg, 6.19 kg, 9.70 kg, 13 08 kg, 16.31 kg 18.77 kg, 20.25 kg, 25.38 kg and 23.32 kg, respectively. The effects of sex and age of darn oil body weights in all growth periods, the effect of year on weights in growth periods except for 7(th) and 8(th) months, the effect of farm oil weights in growth periods except for 6(th) and 8(th) months and the effect of birth type oil birth weight and weights at 4(th) and 5(th) months were statistically significant (p<0.05). In the result of this study, it was determined that Hair kids reared under extensive conditions had high performance especially in terms of viability.
