Growth Rate Analysis of Goat As the popular saying goes, goat is the poor man’s cow. It is in fact farming meat goats can be more effective and profitable than either sheep or cattle. In general the birth weight is around 800g-900g without any supplementary feed. But in favorable condition with our multi grain feed the kid can gain 200-500g at birth. On the other hand, a kid should gain at least 15-20 grams per day from birth to 100 days of age. But if the kid continues to have the feed, it can easily gain more than 20 grams per day. Assuming that, it would be slaughtered from 6-12 month of age, here is a comparative analysis of growth rate of goat with and without taking the feed. Age Average growth with supplementary feed (g) Average growth without supplementary feed (g) At Birth 1100 800 3 month (3x30x20=1800) 1100+1800=2900 800+900=1700 6 month (6x30x20=3600)
