Abstract

20 Pardo-alpina goats from a farm localizated in the municipal district of Amélia Rodrigues – BA were used to evaluate the lactation length and daily or total milk production during the first and second calving. In the first lactation the average of milk production and length was 408,81 ± 35,697 Kg of milk and 191,665 ± 20,907 days, respectively, while in the second lactation the average of production became 482,93 ± 65,917 Kg of milk and the length, 219,630 ± 28,047 days. There was a high positive correlation behind milk production and lactation length. However there wasn’t significative difference (p>0,05) with the daily production behind the calvings.
