Growth and liveweight in goats and sheep at Elangata Wuas and the factors influencing them.  c1983  aAbstract: In 1101 goats and 547 sheep kept under ranch conditions the liveweight development was measured and compared between their 10th and 550th day of life. Consideration was given to factors such as sex, parity, birth type, season of birth, and flock. Post-partum weights of the dams are given and analysed for the same variables. Management of the flocks is the proximate factor in growth rates and liveweight, but almost all other variables also have significant effects on the weight-for-age. Management is also responsible for the biggest differences in weights in post-partum females, while season had a greater effect on this factor in sheep than in goats.  aAfrica  aBody weight  aFemales  aGoats  aMales  aParity (reproduction)  aPostpartum period  aPregnancy  aSeasons  aSheep  aCaprino  aOvino  aProdução  aSex Factors  aSpecies Specificity1 aPEACOCK, C.1 aSAYERS, A.
