Abstract:
The present study was conducted with the objective to compare the morphometric parameters of Barbari Kids raised on different bedding materials during winter season. Thirty postË—weaned Barbari kids of about three months age were selected from the institutional flock, which were divided into three groups viz. group I, II and III with ten kids in each group and were kept on plastic slats, soil and rubber mats, respectively. The body measurements like height at withers (HAW), body length (BL), heart girth (HG) and paunch girth (PG) were taken at fortnightly intervals. The fortnightly comparison of body measurements of kids exhibited no significant difference (P>0.05) in different groups.
