Abstract
The data on reproductive performance of 71 Teddy goats maintained at the Livestock Production Research Institute, Bahadurnagar, Okara (Pakistan) accumulated over a period from 1983-88were used for this study. It was observed that the incidence of oestrus and the resulting kidding are spread throughout the year. The maximum oestrus i.e. 15.27 and minimum 4.27% was exhibited during the month of January and June, respectively. The maximum fertility rate or kidding i.e, 14.56% was recorded during November and minimum (3.64%) during August. The average gestation period, kidding interval, postpartum oestrus interval and inter-services period were estimated as 149.23 ± 0.957, 274.05 ± 8.91,66.96 ± 5.096 and 120.70 ± 9.095 days, respectively. The mean birth weight of kids was ifound as 1.55 ± 0.265 and 1.49± 0.240 kg for males and females, respectively.
