Determination of the reproductive characteristics of Saanen goats using estrus synchronization and the growth performances of kids

This study aimed to determine the reproductive characteristics of Saanen goats Australian origin using an estrus synchronization program with hormones (MPA and PMSG) in two different mating periods (Period I Period II) investigate survival rates growth performances kids. According results research, it was determined that pregnancy rate litter size were higher period (87% 2.16) compared II (80.5% 2.03), is hypothesized this situation related length dry goats. Although mortality (P˂0.001), body weight (P˂0.05) at birth affected by kidding season, their weights Saanen-kids days 30, 60, 90, 120 not season (P>0.05). These indicate should be environmental factor taken into account when planning production. In addition this, important optimize care management conditions, especially during due high multiple types for
