Extract

Birth weight in goats is of prime importance as it provides a base for further physical and physiological development. Growth and subsequent production and reproduction traits are closely related to birth weight.

Very little work has been reported on Osmanabadi goats. The present investigation considers birth weights and growth rates of Osmanabadi goat kids.
