Body Weight and Body Measurement Traits of Hair, Alpine x Hair F1 and Saanen x Hair F1 Crossbred Does Raised at Rural Conditions in Konya Province

The aim of this study was to determine the pre-mating period live weights and body measurements of 216 head of Hair, 232 head of Alpine x Hair F1 (AHF1) and 167 head of Saanen x Hair F1 crossbred does (SHF1) were raised at three different herds in the Selçuklu, Konya provinces under semi intensive conditions.Average live weights of Hair, AHF1 and SHF1 crossbred does were found 50.8 kg, 50.1 kg and 48.9 kg respectively. The effects of genotype, parity, herd and year on the live weight (P<0.01) were significant. In this study, the average withers height, rump height, body length, hearth girth, leg girth, left wrist girth, chest width, rump width and chest depth of Hair, AHF1 and SHF1 crossbred does were measured as 71.7 cm, 71.3 cm and 70.8 cm; as 72.4 cm, 71.9 cm and 71.5 cm; as 69.1 cm, 68.8 cm and 68.3 cm; as 83.0 cm, 82.2 cm and 81.9 cm; as 56.4 cm, 56.0 cm and 55.5 cm; as 11.4 cm, 11.3 cm and 11.2 cm; as 16.6 cm, 16.6 cm and 16.4 cm; as 17.0 cm, 17.0 cm and 16.8 cm; as 32.5 cm, 32.4 cm and 32.2 cm respectively. The effect of genotype (except for hearth girth and chest depth), parity, herd and year on the all examined traits (P<0.01; P<0.05) were significant. As a result, İt can be said that the live weight traits of Hair goats were higher than SHF1 crossbred does under the rural conditions, while live weight of SHF1 crossbred does may be succeed through adaptation and selective breeding programmers.
