Factors affecting gestation length in goats and the effect of gestation period on kid survival. Journal of Agricultural Science 135:85-89.Mellado M, Amaro JL, Garcia JE, Lara LM (2000) Factors affecting gestation length in goats and the effect of gestation period on kid survival. Journal of...
The goat gestation period length has approximately 150 days. You can either do this calculation manually or use a goat pregnancy calculator. Why use Goat Due Date Calculator? If you have a lot of goats, it becomes difficult for you to memorize the due date. If you can't remember it, ...
Gestation length did not impact litter weight (P = 0.68) or number of pigs born alive (P = 0.16) or stillborn (P = 0.16). Gestation length however, did alter piglet birth weights (P < 0.0001). Changes to piglet birth weight reflect longer gestation lengths, but could also be influenced...
but on the average is four minutes longer than the sidereal day. True solar time, as measured by a sundial, does not move at a constant rate. Therefore the mean solar day, with a length equal to the annual average of the actual solar day, was introduced as the basis of mean solar ti...
The variances and covariance of the litter size at birth and the length of gestation were obtained by pooling values calculated within groups of sows of like breed and age that were served by the same boar in the same season. The linear regression coefficient for the regression of the ...
In cohort 1 at 131 d fetal weight (p ϭ 0.2), crown–rump length, limb length, chest girth, and placental size were not significantly different between groups (Table 1). Fetal brain, heart, lung, kidney, and adrenal weights were also not different, but liver weight was 20% higher in...
Estradiol remained at lower concentrations for 30-50 days of gestation, then gradually increased and reached 270 ± 13.0 pg/ml a few days before parturition. It dropped again to basal values within 1-2 days postpartum. The mean gestation length in Dwarf goats was 144.8 ± 3.9 days and the...

Eighty pregnant goats with similar age (2.0 ± 0.3 yr) and body weight (BW, 20.0 ± 1.0 kg before pregnancy) were assigned to 3 dietary treatments during late gestation: control (CON), 40% protein restricted (PR) and 40% energy restricted (ER) diets until parturition, ...
GOATSBackground and Aims: The impact of maternal hormone concentration on kid growth performance in relation to insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and leptin is minimal. This study examined IGF-1 and leptin levels at varying ages and gestation periods for their...
