Conteúdo: | Abstract : 27 Barbari goats were allotted to 9 groups; groups 1-4 were castrated by the Burdizzo method and groups 5-8 by the open method at 15 days, 1 mth, 2 mth and 3 mth of age resp., while group 9 comprised uncastrated controls. Body weight at slaughter at 18 mth of age ranged from 18.00 to 23.66 kg in groups 1-4, from 18.00 to 23.50 kg in groups 5-8, and averaged 15.66 in group 9. Goats castrated at 1 mth by either method were significantly heavier at slaughter than the other castrated groups. Method of castration had no significant effect on weight gain. Dressing percentage ranged from 50.86 to 51.90 in groups 1-4 and from 49.86 to 51.26 in groups 5-8, while group 9 averaged 43.79. The amount of abdominal and renal fat was significantly higher in castrated animals than in controls.
