Abstract

The article focuses on a study which described the creation of a selection index to improve the production performance of goats. Indigenous goats of Ganjam, Ghumusar and Bengal types obtained from the Bhanjanagar subdivision and its nearby areas from 2002 to 2006 were used in the study. Data for the genetic studies on growth, production and reproduction performance were obtained from farmers. A selection index was developed for Ganjam goats with the goal of improving production traits such as lactational yield, lactation length and body weight.
