Abstract


Study on birth weight and type of birth of crossbred between Local and Boer
goat was conducted at station research of Sumber Sekar, Faculty of Animal Husbandry,
Brawijaya University, Malarrg, Indonesia. The data of birth weight and type of birth
were collected from 2004 to 2006. A number of 84 offspring resulted from crossing
between dam of Local and sire of 6 (six) blood lines of Boer goat were used in the
study. Data were analysed using the analysis of variance procedure with REML
(Restrixted Maximum likelihood) method using mixed and GLM (General Linier
Model) procedure of SAS. The overall mean of birth weight of offspring crossbred
Local — Boer was 3.10 kg i 0.73 kg. Analysis of variance showed that the average of
birth weight was significantly (P<0.05) affected by type of birth. The mean values for
single, twins and triplets kids were 3.261033 32010.75 and 2.511064, respectively.
Type of birth tended to be twins (70.24%) and the rest were for single (l5.48%) and
triplets (14.29°/0). There was no significant difference in binh weight of offspring
between blood lines and also between sire within the blood lines.
