During three falls (2003-2005), Boer (B; n=81), Kiko (K; n=64), and Spanish (S; n=59) straightbred does were exposed to B (n=11), K (n=9), and S (n=8) bucks in a three breed diallel to assess meat goat breeds for doe-kid performance on southeastern US pasture. There were 157 B, 152 K, and 150 S doe...

| Sumario: | During three falls (2003-2005), Boer (B; n=81), Kiko (K; n=64), and Spanish (S; n=59) straightbred does were exposed to B (n=11), K (n=9), and S (n=8) bucks in a three breed diallel to assess meat goat breeds for doe-kid performance on southeastern US pasture. There were 157 B, 152 K, and 150 S doe exposures. Birth and 90-day weaning weights were recorded for 781 and 635 kids, respectively. The proportion of does delivering live kids was lower (P |
