Goat meat production, a widely extended activity in the more arid areas of Tunisia, relies on
local breeds. These breeds are well adapted to produce under harsh conditions but have a …

The study aims to determine the environmental and genetic components for the reproductive
performance of a Tunisian local goat population to set up the basis for the future …

The study aimed to investigate the effects of maternal age, birth type, gender, birth month
and birth season on birth weight, weaning weight and average daily gain of Kilis goat kids …

It was evaluated in this study the environmental effects on body weights of goat kids from
birth to 150 days of age of Tunisian local goat population, on the basis of 1,656 records …

Five non-linear statistical models were tested to fit the growth curve parameters of the kids of
indigenous, Alpine and Damascus goats and their crosses. Data from 16 years' periodical …

Data collected on 964 local kids, recorded between 1998 and 2014 were used to study the
impact of genetic and non genetic factors on birth weight. Results indicate that Tunisian local …

The aim of this study is to establish linear measurements of local goat kids at birth and their
factors of variation, as well as their possible correlations with birth weight. Additionally, the …

Abstract Gaddour, A., Najari, S. and Ferchichi, A. 2009. Lactation curve of local goat, pure
breds and crosses in southern Tunisia. J. Appl. Anim. Res., 36: 153–157. The gamma …

To conceive an applicable genetic improvement plan for local goat population under arid
regions, the study aims to determine the genetic parameters of linear body measurements …

The study aims to simulate the alternative methods of simplifying weight recording of
Tunisian local kids and assesses the impact of their use from a genetic point of view to set …
