Özet
Simple Summary The carcass characteristics of Turkish native goat breeds are affected by the rearing conditions after weaning. This study aimed to compare the growth, slaughter, and carcass characteristics of male kids from Angora, Hair, Honamlı, and Kilis breeds at weaning age to eliminate the impact of rearing conditions. Honamlı kids had higher birth weight, daily weight gain, carcass weights (hot–cold), and yields (hot–cold) than those of other breeds (p < 0.05). Therefore, the Honamlı breed could be used as a fattening material genotype due to its superior carcass characteristics compared to other Turkish native breeds. Abstract There is little knowledge about the carcass potential of Turkish native goat breeds raised under different rearing conditions. It is necessary to compare the carcass characteristics of these breeds to minimize the effect of the rearing conditions. Therefore, this study aims to compare the growth, slaughter, and carcass characteristics of male kids at weaning age to eliminate the impact of rearing conditions. Kids born to Angora (n = 6), Hair (n = 6), Honamlı (n = 6), and Kilis (n = 6) Turkish native goat breeds, ranging in age from 2–3 years, were slaughtered at 90 days of weaning age and carcass characteristics were determined immediately. There were differences (p < 0.05) among breeds in terms of birth weight (BW) and daily weight gain (DWG) from birth to weaning age. Honamlı kids had higher BW and DWG than those of other breeds (p < 0.05). Similarly, carcass weights (hot–cold) and yields (hot–cold) of Honamlı kids were higher compared to kids born to other breeds (p < 0.05 …
