Title : Hill goat selection programme in the Eastern Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Pokharel, P.K., Author Pagination: 345p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Hill goal, Eastern Nepal, selection Abstract: An attempt for the first time ever in the livestock species has been made to enrich the production potentiality of hill goat through selective breeding. Two tier open nucleus breeding scheme has been assiduously applied in order to enhance the genetic gain. Response of selection for the first generation kids in nucleus flock at station was found to be 7.9 and 4.7 percent generation for 4 and 6-month weights respectively. Similarly, twinning ability of hill goats for the period was increased by 0.73 percent reaching the level of 68.75. In on-farm condition response of selection for first generation kids per year was 0.22, 7.01 and 7.41 percent for birth, 4 and 6 month weights respectively. Likewise, twining frequency was improved by 27 percent indicating the level of 55. In both low and mid altitudes (up to 1700 masl) of eastern hill the selection programme was found effective for improving the productivity of local hill goats.

Title : Improvement of the Productivity of Local Hill Goats Through Selection: First Year Experience Material Type: printed text Authors: Pokharel, P.K., Author ; Neopane, S.P., Author Pagination: 218-226 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: The aim to improve the production parameters of local Hill goats by introducing exotic
genotypes since last two decades was not successful. Crossbred kids have significantly
poorer reproduction ability and are more susceptible to parasites and diseases than local
Hill goats. In prevailing production systems and nutritional management conditions local
Hill goats are well adapted but have poorer growth rate (birth, weaning and matured
weights). Estimation of genetic parameters showed that improvement of production traits
could be achieved through selection. 120 does and 15 bucks at nucleus herd except followers
and 1228 animals from 181 households in farmers' flock at five different sites (three hill
districts) from two altitude levels (low: up to I 100 m and mid: 1 I OOm to I700 m) have been
included in selection program. Sixteen selected bucks on developed selection criteria have
been distributed to make progress in farmers' flock. During first year period a total of 272
kids were born at station, ofwhich I45 were male and 127 were female. Multiple born cases
observed in the herd were I94. The overall four and six month body weight of offspring born
from multiple birth cases were 7. 0 I ~.I6 and 8.I6~. 20 kg, where as from single cases were
8.95:t0.39 and 10.4~.48 kg respectively. At sites; 869 females were served of which 204
were delivered till the reporting period. Among these born kids; 68 kids reached up to the
age of 4 month and 22 reached six month of age. Multiple birth cases in the sites wer~ found
to be II3 as compared to the single 147. The average 4 and 6 month offspring weight at the
sites were 9. 007 and 10. 77 kg respectively, where as parental herd mean was 7. 98 and 9. 6 kg
for the same age groups. Aiwlysis of first year data for genetic gain showed that the actual
response of selection on station for four and six month weight was 7. 9 and 4. 7 per cent per
generation respectively. it means 2.9 and 1. 7 per cent per year (generation interval is equal
to 2. 75 years) using sire lines only. Although predicted response was close to the observed
and results obtained so far both in terms of reproduction and production were quite
