Abstract

A study was conducted on survivability of Sirohi kids in different age group (0-3,3-6,6-12 month) under farm and field condition. Data were accessed from 2015 to 2021, with the information on 504 mortality records maintained at College of Veterinary and Animal science, Navania, Udaipur as AICRP field unit and Bojunda (Chittorgarh) as farm unit. At pre-weaning stage (0-3 months) highest survivability was found in September month (97.85±1.616%) and lowest survivability was observed in April month (88.00±1.745%). Whereas in post-weaning age (3-6 months, 6-12 months) highest survivability was estimated in April month as 97.77±4.299% and 99.00±12.580%, respectively and lowest survivability was observed in December and July as 55.14±5.389 and 87.75±3.631%, respectively.

Conclusion

This study confirms that overall survivability rates were 94.09±0.511%, 86.23±1.617% and 93.22±1.708% in 0-3, 3-6, 6-12 months of age respectively. Month wise survivability of kids at 0-3 months of age was observed highest in September (97.85±1.616 %) and lowest in April (88.00±1.74 %). Month wise survivability of kids at 3-6 months of age was observed highest in April (97.77±4.299 %) and lowest in December (55.14±5.389 %). Month wise survivability of kids at 6-12 months of age was observed highest in April (99.00±12.580 %) and lowest in July (87.75±3.631 %). Management practices aimed at improving the health and survival of goats need to focus on countering unfavourable factors.
