| dc.description.abstract | In this paper Sanska goat reproductive parameters after the first kidding are shown as well as influence of birth type on kid body weight at birth. At first insemination average age of young goats was 252 days. Average gestation period for goats that carried twins was 150.19 days and for goats that carried singles 151.10 days. Determined difference in gestation length of 0.91 days in favor of goats that carried singles was not statistically significant (P0.05). Goat fertility after first kidding was 164.70%. Kid body weight at birth was analyzed based on birth type (singles-twins). Singles had higher body weight at birth than twins by 0.91kg (34.60%) which was statistically very significant (P<0.01). Average body weight of singles was 3.54kg, and twins 2.63kg, twins were approximately 74.29% of body weight of singles. Gender based differences at birth in body weight were present in favor of male kids, but they were not statistically significant (P0.05). Based on obtained results in this research we can conclude that the results which were obtained for researched parameters are within average limits for Sanska goat breed. | en |
