“…EL size was smaller than that of the national standard of ILEG because the ILEG had a more genetic composition of Kacang goats than Etawah goats (ear length inherited from Etawah goats). The morphometric body at CC, BL, and SH was higher than goats in the central zone of Tigray, Ethiopia (Birhanie et al, 2019). The average body morphometry, especially HG, was also higher than that of other breed goats, such as Damascus goats (72.67 cm) and Kilis goats (69.70 cm) raised in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey (Tartar et al, 2019).…”

A crucial trait of a high economic value of goats is calving to more than one kid (prolificacy potency). The high prolificacy potency (> 1 kid) has a higher income compared to single kids. This study described the potential of Indonesian Local Etawah Goat (ILEG) for prolific trait and the morphometric of body and breeding values in various environments as a basis for selection. It involved smallholder farmers who breed ILEG does from 14 villages in East Java. The research was conducted on a field survey to obtain primary data about the phenotypic superior ILEG goats based on the status of the prolific trait. The study used 520 does with 1347 prolific records obtained. The results showed that the prolificacy values ranged from 2.12-1.42 heads/calving (medium to high category). The variation of prolificacy was 0.53, and the breeding values of the prolificacy trait were 1.48-1.74. The average of body morphometrics was varied with the following details. Chest circumference was 81.06 + 4.63 cm, body length was 76.64 + 4.33 cm, shoulder height was 75.34 + 5.83 cm and ear length were 27.44 + 3.02 cm. This study concluded that the prolific rate was medium to high category. The prolific variation was higher than body morphometry variation, and the prolificacy EBVs of breeding villages divided into four unique pattern boxplots. The prolific trait could be the basis for new considerations in the ILEG breeding program, either through selection or mating.

“…While, other goats come from areas with limited water availability and goats are released all day in pastures then kept in pens at night without feeding by breeders. Variations in ecological zones accompanied by unique climates and plant vegetation and have an impact on different management and environmental influences can cause morphological variations within and between goat populations (Birhanie et al 2019).…”

This study was conducted to select a breed based on the morphological characteristics of Kacang goats in the dry land area, by assessing 31 doe Kacang goats. Semi-intensive raising system is carried out (without giving concentrate), yet water; forage (such as Gliricidia sepium leaves, Sesbania grandiflora leaves, Leucaena leucocephala leaves) and local grass are given by applying ad libitum method. Description of morphological characteristics, Pearson's correlation between body weight and body size, and body index, were analyzed using SPSS 25.0 program. The result of descriptive analysis for Â BW, BL, WH, CG, CW, CD, RW, RH, RL, HL, HW, and HH are 20.72Â±3.26 kg, 44.34Â±8.17 cm, 55.42Â±7.84 cm, 62.68Â±7.12 cm, 10.98Â±2.07 cm, 22.74Â±2.12 cm, 8.44Â±1.38 cm, 54.96Â±6.44 cm, 12.55Â±0.85 cm, 14.07Â±0.55 cm, 10.19Â±0.36 cm, dan 11.69Â±0.45 cm respectively. The value of the morphological index for WS, BI, DI, LI, PI, B, HS, FL, and CI are 0.78+0.12, 71.06Â±12.38, 0.42Â±0.06, 0.81Â±0.18, 67.55Â±11.93, 0.43Â±0.08, 11.18Â±5.78, 32.68Â±7.40, dan 72.48Â±2.82, respectively. The conclusion is that the body weight and body measurements in the dry land area are still below the quality National standards of Indonesia. The correlation coefficient of body weight with body size is in the positive range of moderate to high except, the correlation of body weight with head height which shows a negative correlation. The correlation coefficient of body weight with the morphological index is in the low positive range except for the correlation coefficient of body weight with width slope, balance, and height slope which has a negative correlation coefficient.

“…In small-ruminant animals, morphometric characterization can be performed with body measurements and body indices (Esquivelzeta et al, 2011;Ouchene-Khelifi et al, 2018;Putra & Ilham, 2019;Markovic et al, 2019). Moreover, previous studies have classified the small-ruminant animals from different populations based on their morphometrics (Zaitoun et al, 2005;Traore et al, 2008;Nafti et al, 2014;Dekhili et al, 2014;Gatew et al, 2015;Hosseini et al, 2016;Birhanie et al, 2019;Jarquin et al, 2019).…”
