FANTOVÁ, M., ČERNÁ, J.
Abstract
The objective of this investigation was to find out
the growth ability of F\ crossbred kids - White shorthaired x Boer breeds -
in comparison with purebred animals of White shorthaired and Toggenburg dairy
breeds under farm conditions.
In the periodic monthly intervals the live weight of kids was recorded and these
indicators served as the basis for average daily weight gains calculation in
relation to sex and genotype. The period of investigation was ten months.
From the results obtained no outstanding effect of the genotype on the growth
intensity of the kids under observation was confirmed. The effect of the genotype
was evident at the end of the experiment only.
Key words:
Kids genotype, growth, sex
