Performance evaluation of abergelle goat under community based breeding program in selected districts, Northern Ethiopia

Sammanfattning

The objective of this study was to evaluate body weight and milk yield improvement under community based breeding program (CBBP) in Tanqua-Abergele and Ziquala districts of Northern Ethiopia. A total of 1540 progenies (1249 for body weight and 291 for milk yield) from base flocks and selected bucks were used to evaluate genetic improvements of selective breeding. General linear model procedures were employed to evaluate selective breeding progress based on body weight and milk yield of progenies of base flocks and selected bucks. The result revealed that birth weight of progenies of selected bucks (2.39±0.02 kg) were significantly (p
