dc.description.abstractThe Australian goat industry would like to improve reproductive rate by increasing kid survival. Parameter estimates for kid survival and correlated traits are yet to be reported. A preliminary analysis of birth weight and survival was conducted using 16,050 records from industry herds. The heritability for birth weight (0.32±0.029) was similar to previous reports, but the heritability for kid survival (0.29±0.024) was higher than expected in comparison to other breeds of goats and sheep. The phenotypic variance for birth weight is similar to those previously reported for Boer goats. For a binomial trait there was moderate variation in kid survival with a phenotypic deviation of 0.288, birth weight had a moderate amount of variation with a standard deviation of 0.599kg. The lowest kid survival rates occur in animals less than 2.5kg with survival rates between 67% and 85%, while animals over 2.5kg had survival rates between 92% and 98%, the overall mean for survival was 85%. The phenotypic correlation estimate of 0.16 is low but positive for birth weight and survival. The genetic correlation was also positive and high at 0.54±0.068. Improving survival could potentially be achieved either with direct selection or indirect selection with birth weight.en
