Breeding Objectives Formulation for Dairy Goats Towards Improved Production and Reproductive Efficiency in Intensive Production Systems

Abstract The study was conducted to formulate breeding objectives for dairy goats raised under a pure confinement system, through analyzing various selection criteria such as productive performance, reproductive efficiency, milk quality, herd inventory, selection practices and economic aspects. With the data gathered, results showed that there were four specific breeding objectives ranked and prioritized, namely weight traits, milk yield, precocity, and genetic improvement giving emphasis on milk quality. Birth and weaning weights with an average mean of 2.71 kilograms (kgs) and 14.39 kgs, and an average breeding weight of 67.47 kgs were the phenotypic variables identified for weight traits. Result shows that milk production averaged at 1.87 L per day. Milk quality was also recommended with a composition of 3.51% protein, 3.89% milk fat, and 4.23 somatic cell score. In terms of precocity, the recommended specific breeding objectives were first kidding and kidding interval, that shortens generation intervals and improve the overall productivity of does promoting herd efficiency. Results also emphasized genetic integrity and improvement as the selection criteria responsible for enhancing reproductive efficiency and increasing productivity, thus promoting higher market demand and long-term profitability and sustainability.
