Estimation of milk production of goats affected by number of offspring

SUMMARY

The goat sector is the smallest among the domestic animals sectors in Hungary. The estimated total population is approximately 30 thousand does. The majority of that is local goat with a low milk production. In the study of Mourad (1992) the percentage of twins was higher than singles or triplets, and the first two months of lactation was affected significantly by litter size. Does which gave birth to multiple kids produced significantly more milk over lactation compared to those ones that produced singles (Goonewardene et al., 1999). In this study the effect of number of offspring on milk production was investigated using 58 kids of 30 Hungarian Milking goats from one private farm in Hungary.
