Abstract
This study was carried out to determine the effect of environmental factors on some yield traits in Kilis goats. For this purpose, 6000 heads of Kilis goats each year, and a total of 30000 goats and kids born from them for 5 years, were the subject of the research. Milk control in goats was calculated by the ICAR-AT method. At the end of the study, Average birth weight was 3.56 kg, weaning weight was 15.06 kg and daily live weight gain was 191.64 g in kids. KR value found to be 23.6±0.03 in kids. Lactation milk yield in mothers was determined as 367.64 kg. As a result, it was determined that environmental factors were effective on the reproductive parameters and milk yield characteristics of Kilis goats and the developmental characteristics of kids. The crucial determination of these factors in the breeding of this breed will increase the accuracy of selection. In addition, the success will also be increased by starting the transition from the traditional breeding approach to the genomic breeding method and by combining these two strategies.
