“…The body weight of male kids was more high than that female kids and the body weight of single kids was more high than that twin kids in all growth periods. This results are in accordance with the other reports (ODABASIOGLU and ALTIN, 1992;IKWUEGBU et al, 1995;LAES-FETTBACK and PETERS, 1995;MOURAD and ANOUS, 1998;ALEXANDRE et al, 1999;TOUKOUUROU and PETERS 1999;MARZOUK et al, 2000;MOURAD et al, 2000;UNALAN and CEBECI, 2001;AL-SHOREPY et al, 2002;SENGONCA et al, 2003;TODARO et al, 2004;TURKSON et al, 2004;and NIZNIKOWSKI et al, 2006). The increasing of the birth weight with increasing of dam age and having the lower body weight of kids of young goats could be explaned with high reproductive performance of goats in mature age.…”

“…This was expected because the goat kids in the beginning of fattening were in unfavorable situation, due to changes in diet, although they were adapted to the specified diet during suckling period too. During weaning period of goat kids, reduced feed intake and conversion may occur (Toukourou and Peters, 1999). Therefore, the appropriate protein intake from solid feed is important for successful weaning of goat kids (Greedwood, 1993).…”

The aim of this research was to determine the growth and development of goat kids from organic farming during the period of suckling and fattening. The research was conducted on organic farm with 15 goat kids French Alpine breed, during the suckling period (from kidding to 75 days) and the beginning of the fattening period (during the first 20th day of fattening). Goat kids were weighed at birth, 15, 45 and 75 days in the period of suckling, when weaning followed, and at the age of 95 days of fattening. Goat kids were fed a mixture of concentrated feed (50% barley, 30% corn, 10% wheat and 10% sunflower meal) and alfalfa hay ad libitum, while during the period of suckling. Goat kids were suckling ad libitum. Rearing and feeding of goat kids were in accordance with the Regulations on organic livestock production. Immediately after weighing goat kids were taken body measures (height of withers, trunk length, circumference and width of chest, circumference and leg length and cannon bone circumference), body condition scores and were calculated indices of anamorphosis and body proportions as well as daily gain. The determined body weight (from 4.39 kg to 15.72 kg) respectively, 18.82 kg) and daily gain (151 g or 155 g) of goat kids in suckling period and the beginning of the fattening period and indicate the satisfied result of feeding and rearing in the organic conditions. With increasing the age of goat kids body weight was growing, as well as daily gain and body condition scores (from 2.53 to 2.89), anamorphosis indices (from 45.00 to 61.87) and body proportions (from 16.71 to 32.96). Determined indicators of growth and development of goat kids show satisfactory rearing conditions in organic farming.

Effect of Probiotic Supplementation Shortly Before and After Weaning on Growth of Turkish Saanen Kids

et al. 2005

Sixteen kids were assigned at an average of 6 weeks of age to two treatments: control with no supplementation and 5 g/kid of probiotic supplementation daily. The probiotic was resuspended in distilled water and given orally every day in the morning throughout a 42 d study. Grower concentrate, vetch hay and water were offered ad libitum throughout the study. Kids were abruptly weaned 14 days after the initiation of the study and received only grower concentrate, vetch hay and water ad libitum from d 15 to 42. The supplementation of probiotic did not result in any significant differences in weight gain, nutrient intake, feed efficiency and diarrhea score in kids. However a positive trend toward improved weight gain, feed intake and feed efficiency in kids supplemented with probiotic suggested that probiotic might improve growth and performance of kids and are worth further investigation.
