Non-significant effects of sires on absolute weaning weight, relative growth rate in weight during 0-12 weeks of age and survivability of kids during 0 90 days of age indicate that the sire's selection or ranking will be of little importance for altering pre-weaning growth and survivability. However, male kids born as twins of comparatively high milk yielder does should be selected on the basis of body weights at birth, 3 and 6-month of age for breeding purpose.EnglishThesis
