Effect Of Breed And Breeding Season Interaction On Reproductive Performance Of Goats In A Humid Tropical Environment:- Nwoko, Ignatius N.
ABSTRACT
An experiment was conducted to investigate the
effect ofseason on the reproductive performance ofWest African Dwarf and Red
Sokoto goats in a humid tropical environment. Four breeding seasons, comprising
early dry, late dry, early rain and late rain were considered for the
investigation. Experimental animals were randomly selected from the flock
ofMichael Okpara University Agricultural Farm. The experiment was a 2x2x4
factorial experiment in a completely randomized design. Semen quality ofthe
bucks used in the experiment was evaluated in each season. There was no significant
difference between the breeds and among breeding seasons (P>0.05). Season
equally had no significant effect on the semen quality and characteristics
ofthe bucks used in the experiment. It is therefore, concluded that the breeds
could breed all year round in the zone, and a breeding programme should be
undertaken to improve and multiply the breeds for distribution to farmers in
the zone.
