Özet
Productive characteristics and body measurements of Norduz goats, a native genetic resource in Turkey, were measured. The animals studied were brought from natural habitats to the farm of the Animal Science Department of Agricultural Faculty, Yüzüncü Yıl University. Least squares means of withers height (WH), body length (BL), chest width at back of withers (CWBW), chest depth (CD), chest girth (CG) and leg girth (LG) of Norduz does were 65.9±1.08, 67.2±1.08, 21.1±0.88, 30.8±0.62, 88.9±1.78 and 60.4±1.28 cm, respectively. Least squares means of body weights after parturition of does were 41.3± 2.01 kg. The means of lactation length and lactation milk yield were 226.±7.2 days and 347±40.1, respectively. Twinning rate, fertility, fecundity, litter size and litter size at weaning were 30%, 98%, 1.27, 1.30 and 1.28, respectively. Means of WH, BL, CWBW, CD, CG, LG and body weights of Norduz bucks were 73.9±2.61, 75.6± 2.23, 21.4±0.67, 33.9±1.15, 95.0±2.34, 69.8±2.69 cm and 58.7±3.91 kg, respectively.
