“…This result could be related to be provided the good management conditions to the kids of which the body weight is low and the mother's milk is inadequate for its feeding. In this study, the insignificant effect of dam age on survival rate of kids is similar to the results of HUSAIN et al (1995), IKWUEGBU et al (1995) and MARZOUK et al (2000, although it is differ from the results of ALEXANDRE et al (1999) and AWEMU et al (1999) who studied this trait on different goat breeds. Body weight of kids in goat rearing is very important because it has positive bearings on their survival rate, adult body weight and later productivity.…”

“…The significant effect of birth type on survival rate in the period from birth to 3 months of age is similar to the results of ALEXANDRE et al (1999) and AWEMU et al (1999). It is also differ from the results of HUSAIN et al (1995), IKWUEGBU et al (1995), MARZOUK et al (2000) and TURKSON (2003). The effect of sex on survival rate was statistically insignificant for all stages (p>0.05).…”

“…In tropical and subtropical regions, kid mortality rate is considered one of the major contributory factors adversely affecting goat production enterprises. Fertility and a high level of kid mortality represents a significant barrier to increased productivity (HUSAIN et al, 1995;NIZNIKOWSKI et al, 2006). The growth determines the meat producing ability of kids up marketable age (RINGDORFER, 2001).…”

“…Gastro-intestinal nematodiasis, fascioliasis and tape worm causes less mortality but cause severe depression in the growth and reproductive rate of the BBGs. Lack of proper care and overall faulty husbandry practices are also responsible for higher goat mortality in the prevailing production system (Husain et al, 1995). The survival rate and average growth potential are two factors for increasing meat production.…”

Abstract:A study was carried out in Faridpur, Habiganj and Barisal to identify the prevalence of diseases, morbidity and mortality of Black Bengal goats (BBGs) under semi-intensive system reared by moderate and ultra poor households in Bangladesh during the period from February 2008 to July 2009. A total of 168 female goats and 9 bucks were recorded from two types of households of which 125 goats were infected (74.70%) by a number of diseases and lead to mortality (17.26%). Survival rates and mortality percentage of kids were 80.60 and 19.40, respectively but the highest mortality was in Habiganj (21.18%). Seasons had special influences on mortality of adult goats (35.81%) and kids (64.19%) where the highest mortality rates were 22.22% and 25.93%, respectively in rainy season. PPR had the highest mortality rates (37.93% in adults and 25.00% in kids) followed by pneumonia (24.14% and 21.15%, respectively). Predator invasion was the other remarkable cause for increased kids' mortality (23.08%). The study suggests that hygienic management practices, adequate supply of nutrients, and vaccination and deworming programmes in semiintensive rearing system of BBGs at rural level will improve the survival rates of adult goats and kids.

RESUMO -Avaliaram-se as correlações entre a pluviometria e as características produtivas em caprinos Pardo-Alpina × Gurgueia criados em regime semi-intensivo no Cariri Ocidental, microrregião semiárida do estado da Paraíba. Utilizaram-se informações de peso ao nascer, produção de leite, mortalidade dos cabritos até os 90 dias de idade e pluviosidade registrada na Fazenda Carnaúba. Os dados pluviométricos foram transformados para Log X . Houve baixa correlação entre o peso ao nascer, a produção de leite e mortalidade com as variáveis pluviométricas.Palavras-chave: chuva, mortalidade, peso ao nascer, produção de leite Correlation among rainfall and productive traits of goats in the semi-arid region of ParaíbaABSTRACT -The objective of this study was to evaluate the correlations between rainfall data and goat productive traits in Alpine × Gurgueia breeds goats, raised in a intensive regime in the Ocidental Cariri, a semi-arid microclime of Paraíba State, Brazil. Birth weight, milk production and mortality of kids to 90 days of age and rainfall data from the Carnauba Farm were used. The rainfall data were transformed in Log x . The birth weight, milk production and mortality correlated reasonably correlated with the rainfall variables. There was lower correlation among birth weight, milk production and mortality and the rainfall data.
