Totally 195 goats, 177 does (2-4 years old, n = 91, 1D group and 4.5-6 years old age n = 86, 2D group) and 18 bulks (at 3-5 years old, B) at breeding age were used. Morphologic measurements such as body weight, wither height, heart girth, chest width, rump height and body length were determined as 47.35 +/- 0.42, 52.2 +/- 0.46 and 64.09 +/- 0.34 kg; 73.13 +/- 0.33, 74.09 +/- 0.36 and 81.89 +/- 0.40 cm; 72.47 +/- 0.36 73.80 +/- 0.39 and 81.86 +/- 0.51 cm; 73.01 +/- 0.35, 75.79 +/- 0.38 and 81.78 +/- 0.77 cm; 18.10 +/- 0.14,18.75 +/- 0.15 and 23.22 +/- 0.32 cm; 30.76 +/- 0.15,31.94 +/- 0.17 and 34.86 +/- 0.39 cm; 86.22 +/- 0.36,89.67 +/- 0.38 and 98.89 +/- 0.86 cm for 1D, 2D and B, respectively. There were significant differences (p |
