“…The growth rate of kids was higher in doe of older age (Khanal et al., 2019). Doe with higher parity number also had higher milk production (Dhara et al., 2012). However, no evidence of parity associated with kid's growth rate was clearly elucidated because the number of kids per litter may play a role in determining milk production.…”

The genetic improvement in goats has been performed many years ago to improve milk and meat production. In general, the breeding goal in meat-type goats is usually to increase meat production as growth performance (Anothaisinthawee et al., 2010) and resistance to environmental hazards in each area. On the other hand, increase in milk production is a crucial role for kid's survival and growth that should be developed. The factors that influence growth performance and milk yield include the genotype of breed, environmental condition, nutrition, age, sex, litter size, and parity.The Black Bengal (BB) goats, one of meat-type goats, were introduced from Bangladesh into Thailand in 2005. This breed characterized as small size with most black color coats is popular for meat and best skin quality and can adapt well to hot and humid condition. Certain breeds of goat are able to breed throughout the year in tropical environment. Report of breeding seasons for BB doe was in November and December or early the periods of the postmonsoon season which may relate to the progesterone level (Bhatta et al., 2016). The average litter size of BB at the first, second, and third parity were 1.37, 1.52, and 1.84, respectively (Mia et al., 2013). However, the BB goats have poor growth rate and low kid's survival rate because they have high litter size but limited milk production.Particularly, inadequate milk yield is critical for the growth rate of newborn kids when does had a litter of multiple kids. The preweaning survivability could be improved if does give birth of increased kid's weight and milk yield (Husain et al., 1995).Indigenous Thai Native (TN) goat breeds have been used to breed with many other pure breeds in Thailand (Pralomkarn et al., 2012) in order to make genetical improvement in terms of growth, milk yield,

“…Des résultats similaires ont été rapportés par Ketto et al (2014). Dhara et al (2012) ont également signalé une production de lait plus élevée pour les mise-bas double et triple, soit 0,82 litre/jour et 1,32 litres/jour respectivement par rapport à une misebas simple (0,48 litre/jour) chez les chèvres métisses (Chèvres norvégienne x Chèvres naines d'Afrique de l'Est) et les Chèvres noires du Bengale. Une production laitière plus élevée chez les chèvres avec une mise-bas multiple pourrait être dû au fait que leurs glandes mammaires sont bien développées pendant la période de gestation et que l'allaitement de plusieurs chevreaux induit une plus grande synthèse du lait à partir du pis.…”

La production laitière exclusivement bovine au Bénin ne permet pas de couvrir les besoins croissants de la population en produits laitiers. L’élevage des animaux à cycle court comme les chèvres laitières est impératif. Ainsi, une étude a été réalisée dans la ferme d’élevage de l’Organisation Non Gouvernementale (ONG) « Fermiers Sans Frontières » afin d’évaluer les facteurs qui influencent la production laitière des chèvres Saanen, Rousse de Maradi et des métisses Saanen x Rousse de Maradi (F1 et F2). Les données sur la production laitière ont été recueillies sur 66 chèvres Saanen, 183 chèvres Rousse de Maradi, 143 chèvres métisses F1 et 72 chèvres métisses F2. Un modèle linéaire incluant les effets fixes de la race, du mode de naissance, de la saison de naissance et du numéro de lactation a été utilisé dans le cadre de l’analyse de variance par les moindres carrés. La race a eu un effet significatif (p<0,05) sur les différents paramètres de production laitière. Ainsi les chèvres Saanen ont présenté les meilleures performances laitières (2,4 l/j) suivies des Métisses F2 (1,9 l/j) et F1 (1,6l/j). La saison de naissance a eu un effet significatif (p<0,05) sur la production laitière totale. Les meilleures performances laitières ont été obtenues chez les chèvres ayant mise-bas pendant la saison pluvieuse. Les modes de naissance et le numéro de lactation ont également eu un effet significatif (p<0,05) sur la production laitière des différentes chèvres. Les résultats de la présente étude permettent de jeter les premiers jalons d’un programme d’amélioration de la production laitière autrefois exclusivement bovine.

“…Halder et al (2014) studies on meat type Black Bengal goat (1.75 kids/kidding) in India which supported the findings of Hassan et al (2007) who reported an average 1.96 kids per kidding of Black Bengal goat in Bangladesh. The research of Dhara et al (2012) confirmed highest milk production per day of Black Bengal goat for single (1.43), twin (1.77) and triplet (2.24 kg) kidding in the 4 th week of lactation, but the production declined respectively, 0.23, 0.26 and 0.26 kg in 9 th week of lactation in semi-intensive system. However, milk production in same breed differs on rearing system especially nutrition, age and selection which are lack of concern in the rural extensive farming system.…”

A household survey was conducted in a preselected rural area (279 households) of Mymensingh district in Bangladesh to know the overall production and husbandry practices regarding indigenous ruminant farming and their future outlook. Data were analyzed following descriptive statistics. The average cattle (144 HHs) and goat (63 HHs) distribution per household were 1.83 and 2.14, respectively. Daily milk production of cattle and goat recorded 1.47 and 0.24 liters including the lactation period 201.98 and 87.21 days. Most of the farmers housed their cattle (88.19%) and goat (55.55%) outside the dwelling. Only 2.08% farmers purchased feed for cattle. Natural and uncontrolled breeding observed for all ruminants in the studied area. Digestive disorder (blot) in cattle (12.50%) and goat (14.29%) identified as one of the major problems in the studied areas. Vaccination practice followed very limited owners of cattle (19.44%) and goat (4.76%). Proper initiative, funding, farm-based training to educated farmers including modern animal husbandry practices could increase indigenous ruminant population in the rural area of Bangladesh.
