“…The average birth body weight, body length, chest girth, and wither height and ADG of males were higher than those of females when considering all of breeds. Similar results were found in other studies in BB (Das, et al, 2018;Hasen et al, 2014;Khan et al, 2013;Miah et al, 2016;Paul et al, 2011), TN, Boer, and SA during preweaning period (Supakorn et al, 2011), and Creole and its crossbreds with Nubian bucks from birth to 1 year old (Vargas et al, 2007). Nevertheless, Das et al (2018) showed that weight of female BB increased as the age advances up to 12 months of age and differed significantly from male BB.…”

“…Litter size had a major effect on kid's birth weight, characteristics, and ADG up until 9 weeks of age. Previous study in BB showed the highest body weight was found in a single birth, followed by twin, triplet, and quadruplet (Das et al., 2018). The similar results were found in other breeds (Meza‐Herrera et al., 2014; Supakorn et al., 2011).…”

“…Nevertheless, Das et al. (2018) showed that weight of female BB increased as the age advances up to 12 months of age and differed significantly from male BB. It was suggested that male kids were more responsive to the improvement of the environment (Amoah et al., 1996).…”

“…A report from the south of Thailand suggests that productivity may be increased if avoiding kidding in the rainy season (Saithanoo et al., 1992). Studies in BB in coastal zone showed that birth weight of kids was higher in winter followed by summer and lower in monsoon season (Das et al., 2018). Similar results were found suggesting that litter size and body weight at birth and at weaning were highest during winter and lowest during rainy seasons (Mia et al., 2013).…”

“…Although our previous study showed crossbred F1 (male BB × female SA) had high growth rate during 1‐month period similar to SA (unpublished data), no data were reported in detail for comparison of conformation including weight, length, height, girth, and growth rate in the mixed breed kids between BB and SA or when switching the breeding procedure using male SA with female BB. Additionally, many factors could affect kid’s performance such as sex of kids, doe’s litter size, and kidding season (Das et al., 2018; Mia et al., 2013). Therefore, the objectives of the present study were (1) to compare kid’s conformation, growth performance, and percent heterosis from birth to 11 weeks of age (preweaning period) in BB, SA, and their crossbred F1 and (2) to determine the influencing factors including sex, litter size, and season at birth on these parameters.…”

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,
