Popis: The present study was carried out to investigate the growth performances of Black Bengal goats reared under four different agro-climatic regions of West Bengal as well as different managerial practices during January 2012 to December’2013. Although birth weight did not show significant (p>0.05) variation irrespective of zones and rearing systems, higher birth weight was recorded in Undulating Red and Lateritic zone (1.149±0.036 kg) and Coastal Saline zone (1.148±0.053 kg) than the Gangetic Alluvial zone (1.115±0.048 kg) and Terai-Teesta Alluvial zone (1.047±0.057 kg). The zone-wise variation of body weights at 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months and 9-12 month and above age group remained highly significant (p
