dc.description.abstractA study was conducted to analyse the effect of sex, season, type, parity and year of kidding on birth weight and weaning weight of Barbari goat. The average birth weight of male kids was 4.17 % higher than female kids. However, the average weaning weight of female kids at 3 months was 2.28 % higher than male kids. Birth weight of kids born during northeast monsoon and summer season were higher than southwest monsoon and winter seasons. Further, the weaning weight at southwest monsoon showed the highest value over weaning weights of other seasons. The birth weight and weaning weight of single born kids were of higher weight than twin birth kids. Birth weight of second parity was higher than first and third parity. The weaning weight and average pre weaning daily gain were also higher in second parity than first parity. Birth weight of kids born during year 2007 (1.98 ± 0.08 kgs) had higher values than year 2006 (1.85 ± 0.08 kgs) and year 2005 (1.81 ± 0.10 kgs). However, weight at 3 months had lower value during year 2007 (6.21 ± 0.51 kgs) than year 2006 (7.65 ± 0.47 kgs). The average daily gain was also more during year 2006 than year 2007. It was concluded that there was no significant effect of nongenetic factors on early production parameters of the Barbari goat.en_US
