Morphometric characterization and growth performance of Jamunapari goat under semi-intensive production system
Abstract
The goal of this study was to describe and measure how Jamunapari goats grew when they were raised in a semi-intensive production system. A total of 116 Jamunapari goats were used as experimental animals; among them kids (0-6m), growers (6-10m) and adults (12m-above) were 37, 45 and 34, respectively. The concentrate mixture (17% CP, 11 MJ ME/kg DM) was given twice daily at rates of 250, 200 and 100 g per head per day for adults, growers and kids, respectively. Kid's live weights were taken at 15-day intervals up to three months, followed by measurements of their morphological characteristics using a measuring tape in accordance with FAO (2012) guidelines. Morphometric measurements (body length, head length, rump height, wither height, heart girth, tail length, ear length and horn length) differed significantly (p<0.05) among the age groups and were found higher in males than female Jamunapari goats. The birth weight of Jamunapari male (2.67±0.21 kg) and female (2.43±0.13 kg) did not differ significantly (p<0.05), but body weights differed significantly (p<0.05) between males and females at different stages where male attained 21.12±1.15 kg and female 15.65±2.20 kg at 12 months of age. The average daily body weight gain of Jamunapari male and female goats also differs significantly (p<0.05) at 3 and 6 months of age and is found to be 73.87±1.76, 68.18±2.61 and 61.62±3.34, 63.54±4.38 (g/d), respectively. The variation in morphometric and growth performance among the age groups of Jamunapari goats was found to be significant and it can be concluded that there is a scope for further improvement of Jamunapari goats through good nutrition and other management practices.
Key Words: Jamunapari goat, Morphometric and Growth performance.
