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
