Abstract

The incidence of infertility (forms and causes) was studied in goats reared under field conditions. Overall incidence of
infertility was 11.50%, which was of moderate degree in this species. Anoestrus and abortion were recognized as major causes leading
to lowered fertility followed by repeat breeding and still birth. Goats should be allowed to reproduce after attaining 60 to 65% of adult
body weight.
