dc.description.abstractA study was carried out to find out the factors influencing kid survivability in an organized goat farm with more than 500 breedable Tellicherry does at Kancheepuram district, Tamil Nadu. Detailed study was carried out in all the 52 kids died out of 551 live kids born during the study period of nine months. The influence of dam weight at kidding, birth weight, dam’s milk yield, litter size, kid sex, age of susceptibility and parity on kid survivability was studied. The chi square analysis of the data revealed that significantly higher survival rate were recorded in kids born to dams of 25-40 kg body weight with 300-500 ml of milk yield per day with more than 1.5 kg birth weight, kids born as singles and after third parity survived better (P< 0.01). On detailed laboratory examination of dead kids revealed Clostridium perfringens type D was found to be the single major cause of mortality in kids accounting 65.38% of total mortality in this farm.en_US
