- Abstract
This study aims to determine the growth of Etawah Grade and Etawah Grade x Bligon kids during the pre-weaning period. A total of 13 kids consisted of 6 Etawah Grade kids and 7 Etawah Grade x Bligon kids with single type birth were observed. The birth weight and weaning weight, average daily gain (ADG), the gain of body size, and milk consumption of kids were collected and measured monthly during the pre-weaning period (3 months). The body size variable consisted of body length, body height, hip height, chest width, hip width, chest girth, head length, head width and ear length. All the variables were analyzed using the independent sample T-test. The statistical analysis indicated no significant difference in all variables except the gain of hip width (P <0.05). The gain of hip width on Etawah Grade and Etawah Grade x Bligon were 3.42±1.02 and 4.79±0.81 cm respectively. Birth weight, weaning weight, and ADG of Etawah Grade and Etawah Grade x Bligon kids were 2.94±0.48 and 2.97±0.35 kg; 9.65±1.69 and 9.78±2.44 kg; 0.07±0.16 and 0.08±0.26 kg/head/day, respectively. Milk consumption of Etawah Grade and Etawah Grade x Bligon kids was decreased in a row form the first, second and third month, which were 0.78±0.15 and 0.72±0.16; 0.61±0.11 and 0.56±0.07; 0.42±0.15±0.43±0.18 kg/head/day, respectively. In conclusion, the growth of Etawah Grade and Etawah Grade x Bligon kids during the pre-weaning period was similar.
