The study was conducted about the growth performance of Black Bengal goat in village condition at Savar Upazila under the Dhaka District from June/2017 to April/2018. Least-squares means for body weights at birth, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months of ages were 1.10, 5.02, 8.41, 10.41 and 12.42 kg respectively. Sex has highly significant (p < 0.01) effect on the body weight at 3 months (5.22 ± 0.04 and 4.77 ± 0.04 kg), 6 months of ages (8.74 ± 0.04 and 7.96 ± 0.04 kg) and sex has significant (p < 0.05) effect on the body weight at 9 months (10.66 ± 0.09 and 10.10 ± 0.10 kg) and 12 months (12.88 ± 0.06 and 11.82 ± 0.07 kg) respectively male and female. Type of birth has highly significant (p < 0.01) effect on body weight at birth, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. Parity has highly significant (p < 0.01) body weight at 3 months (4.95 ± 0.05, 5.04 ± 0.04 and 5.08 ± 0.05 kg) and 12 months (12.21 ± 0.67, 12.39 ± 0.08 and 12.67 ± 0.07 kg) and significant (p < 0.05) effect at birth weight (0.94 ± 0.01, 0.95 ± 0.01 and 0.97 ± 0.01 kg) and 6 months body weight (8.29 ± 0.06, 8.37 ± 0.05 and 8.54 ± 0.05 kg) respectively at 1 st , 2 nd and 3 rd parity. Season has a highly significant (P < 0.01) effect in birth weight (0.91 ± 0.01, 0.99 ± 0.01 and 0.97 ± 0.01 kg), 3 months (4.87 ± 0.04, 5.22 ± 0.04 and 4.89 ± 0.06 kg), 12 months (12.21 ± 0.06, 12.65 ± 0.07 and 12.30 ± 0.10 kg) and season has significant effect (P < 0.05) at 6 months body weights (8.20 ± 0.04, 8.63 ± 0.05 and 8.23 ± 0.07 kg) respectively in winter, summer and rainy season. It can be concluded that male type of sex, single type kid, third parity of dam and summer season was better.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
