ДИНАМІКА РОстУ і розвиткУ КОЗЕНЯТ залежно від способу ВИРОЩУВАННЯ
There have been three methods of young animal growing in milky goat husbandry. Kids are kept with dams from 3-4 months age, then they are weaned and dams are milked. Contact-divide method defines dams milking after kidding and the part of milk remains for kids; kids are weaned after birth and are grown artificially. Investigation results tended to optimal method of kids growing would differ in concrete climatic conditions by good growth and development indices which have been presented in the article. Weight growth of young animals has been also included. Assessment of dynamics as for live weight in experimental animals prevailed by indices during tested period over the third group which has been grown with artificial feeding. Animals of controlled group grown in suckling conditions showed the lowest growth intensity. Kids of the second group have been grown in a contact-divided way and occupied the intermediate position. The range of animal division as for the daily, absolute, relative gains and growth rate between experimental groups has been analogical to the live weight indices. Conducted researches showed the influence of growth and development on the way of growing.
