“…In this study, the birth weight and 2 nd -month live weight of Kilis kids were found to be lower than in previous studies on Kilis kids in the original breeding area (Keskin et al, 2017;Özdemir and Keskin, 2018;Gül et al, 2022;Keskin et al, 2022). However, live weights of Kilis kids from birth to 6 months of age were lower, but partly similar, than those of native gene resources, pure and crossbred Hair kid genotypes (Erduran, 2017;Çelik and Olfaz, 2018;Akbaş et al, 2023). It is seen that environmental factors significantly affect the live weight and growth characteristics of Kilis kids from birth to one year of age.…”

“…The first scientific researches on the development of dairy goat breeding in Türkiye mainly focused on the Aegean, Mediterranean and Marmara regions (Şengonca et al, 2003;Tölü, 2010;Erduran, 2017;Keskin et al, 2017). However, in recent decades, it has also been intensified in Central Anatolia and Central Black Sea regions (Çelik and Olfaz, 2018;Erduran, 2022Erduran, , 2023a. In these studies, Alpine and Saanen breeds, which are exotic dairy breeds, and Kilis and Malta breeds, which are domestic dairy breeds, have been used primarily.…”

Kilis goat is an important local gene source in terms of fertility and milk yield and its original breeding area is Kilis, Adana, Gaziantep and Hatay provinces in Türkiye. This study was carried out to determine the reproductive and growth characteristics of primiparous Kilis goats and their adaptation to high-altitude mountainous areas (altitude 1550 m). A total of 120 Kilis goats from four different farms in Konya province were used in the study in 2019. Among the reproductive traits of Kilis goats, birth rate, litter size at birth, litter size at weaning, twinning rate and survival rate were found to be 92.5%, 1.25, 1.11, 25.1% and 88.2%, respectively, and the difference between the flocks were not statistically significant (P>0.05). Most of the births occurred between 06:00 and 09:00 during the day (P

“…In some studies, Hair goat kids have been shown to perform better than Saanen × Hair (F1) kids in terms of growth characteristics Gökdal et al, 2013). Some studies did not find statistical differences in the growth characteristics of Saanen × Hair and Hair goats (Ekiz et al, 2014;Atay, 2016;Çelik & Olfaz, 2018). The study of Şengonca et al (2002) reported that crossbred kids performed better than Hair kids.…”

This study was carried out to compare some production traits of Alpine × Hair-crossbred, Saanen × Haircrossbred, and Hair goats in rural conditions. In the first year of the study, a total of 45 animals were used to determine the milk yield characteristics of the three genotypes. In the second year, a total of 56 does and 62 goat kids were used to determine the characteristics of the animals. The ICAR AT method was used to calculate the lactation milk yield of the goats. The average lactation lengths, the average lactation milk yields, and the daily average milk yields of Alpine × Hair-crossbred, Saanen × Hair-crossbred, and Hair goats were 242, 232, and 229 days; 182, 201, and 164 kg; and 0.754, 0.873, and 0.716 kg, respectively. The effect of genotype on lactation milk yield and daily average milk yield was statistically significant. Live weights of the kids were recorded at monthly intervals and live weights of the kids for days 30, 60, 90, and 120 were calculated by linear interpolation. The effect of genotype on the 90- and 120-day weights were similar. Measurements of udder characteristics were determined twice, at the beginning (30 d) and at the end (180 d) of the lactation period. It was determined that crossbreeding had no effect on udder characteristics except the distance between teats and udder depth. The main result of this study is that crossbreeding substantially increased milk yield in goats, even at the F1 level, under extensive conditions.

“…Growth refers to the weight gains in animals due to biological events that generally take place directly proportional to age. Growth is a process that begins in the embryonic stage and continues until the mature age (Tozlu Çelik and Olfaz, 2018). Different mathematical methods have been used to define growth.…”

This study aimed to investigate the survival rate and growth performance of the kids of Damascus x Kilis goat F1 bred under intensive conditions. 37 male and 33 female kids of 54 dams (Damascus x Kilis F1 goats) in an enterprise of intensive dairy goat breeding in the Bismil district of Diyarbakır province were used in the study. The birth weight of kids and their monthly weights up to 7 months of age were determined. In the study analyzing the growth and development characteristics of kids of Damascus x Kilis F1 goats up to 210 days of age, it was determined that their mean live weights on the 0th (birth), 30th, 60th, 90th, 120th, 150th, 180th, and 210th days were 3.96±0.124, 7.47±0.306, 10.99±0.506, 13.71±0.592, 15.54±0.643, 24.08±1.019, 22.22±1.033, and 27.51±1.168 kg for males, respectively; whereas, the mean live weights of females were 3.40±0.128, 6.46±0.312, 9.61±0.490, 12.29±0.584, 15.79±0.772, 22.40±0.856, 22.60±0.809, and 24.11±0.937 kg, respectively. Given the type of birth, the mean live weights were found to be 4.12±0.124, 7.42±0.338, 11.29±0.549, 13.89±0.691, 16.51±0.764, 24.08±1.132, 24. 31±1.146 and 26.92±1.269 kg in singleton kids, and 3.28±0.103, 6.58±0.289, 9.42±0.418, 12.20±0.459, 14.83±0.608, 22.51±0.745, 22.74±0.753, and 24.90±0.915 kg in twins, respectively. Also, in the study the effect of sex and birth type on various period weights was analyzed and it was found that birth type had a significant effect (P<0.005) on birth weight, and live weights on the 60th and 90th days, while the effect of sex was insignificant. When the survival capacity of the kids was analyzed, the kids were observed to die at the time of birth, but there was no death in the later periods and the survival capacity was found to be 100% from birth until the 210th day.
