    The Determination of Some, Reproduction, Growth and Morphological Traits in Honamli Goats Breeds
    (Univ Namik Kemal, 2018) Karadag, Orhan; Soysal, Mehmet Ihsan
    In this study, aimed to determine some morphological traits of Honamli Goat Breed which are widely reared in Turkey's Mediterranean Region, especially The Taurus Mountains. Data on live body weight, body length, height at withers, height at rump, heart girth, chest depth, tail length, head length, forehead width, the front and rear shank circumference were collected from goats (n=200) kept by traditional farmer. Regression analysis was carried out for live weight with all the linear body measurements. The data were classified on the basis of age and gender pattern. Age and sex significantly (P<0.01) influenced all the body measurements. Live body weight and some linear body measurements were highly (P<0.01) and positively correlated for all ages. Regression analysis show thatlive weight can be estimated using measurements of chest depth, body length, chest circumference, forehead width, and front shank circumference. As regards reproductive traits birth rate, infertility, single and twin births rates were calculated, 87%, 13%, 71% and 28% respectively. The litter size and kid rate values were calculated 1.28 and 1.11 respectively. In this study, a total of 190 heads kids were used, twin and single kids birth weight 3.58 kg and 3.95 kg, weaning weight 24.94 kg and 28.69 kg, suckling period daily weight gain, 0.180 kg and 0.205 kg respectively. The average survival rate at weaning (120 days) was found 80 %.
