“…Interstingly, these data are superior to several previous studies conducted at different stages by different authors. Birari et al (2012) indicataed that overall body weight at 12 months of age in females (20.61±0.03 kg) were significantly (P<0.01) higher than males (19.80±0.03 kg). The reason for higher significance might be due to undetected pregnancies.…”

“…The earlier report on body weight at 3 months (Bhoite and Koratkar 1997) showed superiority in male (9.90±0.39 kg) and female (8.76±0.38 kg) kids of Osmanabadi goats under organised farm. However, Birari et al (2012) recorded overall body weights of males and females as 7.29±0.01 and 6.92±0.04 kg, respectively at 3 months of age. In another study, Bansode et al (2017) documented a mean weight of Birari et al (2012) indictaed that overall body weight at 6 months of age was higher in males (14.46±0.02 kg) than females (14.02±0.03 kg).…”

“…Further, in a similar study, Harikrishna et al (2013), documented average birth weight of Osmanabadi female kids as 2.35±0.01 kg and in male kids as 2.60±0.01 kg. However, Birari et al (2012) pointed out that overall birth weight of males (1.92±0.03 kg) was higher than females (1.69±0.04 kg). Comparatively, higher body weights at birth in males (2.01±0.04 kg) and females (1.87±0.05) were reported by Koratkar et al (1998) in Osmanabadi goats at organized farm.…”

In the present study, an attempt was made to study the salient characteristics, viz. age at first kidding (AFK), weight of kid at birth (WKB), kidding interval (KI), kidding, twinning and triplet percentages, etc. during June, 2018 to March, 2020. The study was conducted using standard format developed by ICAR-National Bureau of Animal Genetic Resources (NBAGR), Karnal (Haryana) with some adaptations to capture additional information. Scientific management practices were followed in the farm to enhance the productive and reproductive performance of Osmanabadi goats under semi-intensive system. The study generated data on average age at first kidding (266.55Â±18.38 days), gestation period (148â€“153 days), kidding interval (195.09Â±5.65 days), age at puberty (212.32Â±2.83 days), average litter size (1.62), average dressing percentage (53%), average milk yield (1.26 kg per doe per day), birth weights of kids (2.57Â±0.48 kg), twinning (35.59%) and triplet percentages (13.56%). Further, the kidding details indicated significant difference among the durations. The data thus generated revealed that the semi-intesive rearing practices were superior to the methods followed in earlier studies including those of ICARNBAGR, Karnal. It can be concluded that meticulous adoption of scientific management practices would enhance the productive and reproductive performance of goats in general, and Osmanabadi goats in particular under semiintensive rearing system.

Correlation studies indicated a significant (P<0.01) correlations between body weight and body measurements in all age groups Patil et al (2013). reported highly significant (P<0.01) and positive correlation between body weights and body measurements (heart girth, body length and height at wither) at 1 and 3 month of age for Sangamneri goat kids.…”

The research study was conducted under project of RKVY Goat unit at SKN College of Agriculture, SKNAU, Jobner, Jaipur, Rajasthan. During this study 40 Sirohi goat kids (20 males and 20 females) were selected and randomly divided into four groups on the basis of age as 0, 1, 2 and 3 months. For the estimation body weight of Sirohi goat kids total four body measurements were recorded followed as: height at wither, heart girth, body length and paunch girth. In goat kids, the highest correlation (r) was observed between body weight and heart girth at 0 (r =0.695) and 1 (r =0.756) months of age. Similarly, height at wither at 2 month (r=0.824) and paunch girth at 3 months (r=0.837) of age. These correlations between body weight and body measurements were significant (P<0.01). The coefficient of determination (R 2 ) for weight estimation were for height at wither and paunch girth (86.0%) at 3 months. It was concluded that body weight of goat kids can be estimated in field using body measurements taken with a tape in the absence of weighing scales.
