A zootechnical follow-up was conducted in Gounaka (Tassaoua department, Maradi region) in Niger on 48 goats aged less than one year to 4 years including 36 Redheads (75%) and 12 Blacks (25%), all followed by 76 kids including 37 females and 39 males of Red dress (58 individuals) and Black (18 individuals) belonging to 45 breeders. Analyzes have shown that frequency of single litter in Red goats (45.71%) was lower than that of Black (50%). On other hand, double litters were more frequent in Red goat (54.28%) than Black (50%). Differences in 2 cases of litters were not statistically significant (p> 0.05). There was a statistical difference (p <0.05) between milk production average of two types of goats. Red goat had regularly higher than Black at all rows of lactation. Average of durations of intervals between 1st-2nd, 2nd-3rd, 3rd-4th, 4th-5th and 5th-6th parturitions in Red and Black goats in all dresses were respectively 8.36 ± 1.56; 8.67 ± 1.49; 8.66 ± 1.34; 10.00 ± 0.82 and 9.50 ± 0.71 months without statistical difference. At birth, Black kids weighed more than their Red counterparts with 1.67 ± 0.20 and 1.61 ± 3.55 kg respectively, but difference was not significant. As for mean of decadal scrotal circumference (perimeter), it increased from first (D1) to tenth (D10) decade respectively from 5.13 ± 0.89 to 10.71 ± 1.61 cm for Red kids and 4.70 ± 0.80 to 9.51 ± 2.14 cm for black kids significantly (p <0.05).

Abstract
A zootechnical follow-up was conducted in Gounaka (Tassaoua department, Maradi region) in Niger on 48 goats aged less than one year to 4 years including 36 Redheads (75%) and 12 Blacks (25%), all followed by 76 kids including 37 females and 39 males of Red dress (58 individuals) and Black (18 individuals) belonging to 45 breeders. Analyzes have shown that frequency of single litter in Red goats (45.71%) was lower than that of Black (50%). On other hand, double litters were more frequent in Red goat (54.28%) than Black (50%). Differences in 2 cases of litters were not statistically significant (p> 0.05). There was a statistical difference (p <0.05) between milk production average of two types of goats. Red goat had regularly higher than Black at all rows of lactation. Average of durations of intervals between 1st-2nd, 2nd-3rd, 3rd-4th, 4th-5th and 5th-6th parturitions in Red and Black goats in all dresses were respectively 8.36 ± 1.56; 8.67 ± 1.49; 8.66 ± 1.34; 10.00 ± 0.82 and 9.50 ± 0.71 months without statistical difference.

Abstract: (french)
Un suivi zootechnique a été conduit à Gounaka (département de Tassaoua, région de Maradi) au Niger sur 48 chèvres âgées de moins d’un an à 4 ans dont 36 Rousses (75%) et 12 Noires (25%), toutes suitées de 76 cabris (37 chevrettes et 39 chevreaux) de robe rousse (58 individus) et noire (18 individus) appartenant à 45 éleveurs. Les analyses ont montré que la fréquence de la portée simple chez la chèvre Rousse (45,71%) était inférieure à celle Noire (50%). En revanche, les portées doubles étaient plus fréquentes chez la chèvre Rousse (54,28%) que celle Noire (50%). Ces différences dans les 2 cas de portées n’étaient pas statistiquement significatives (p>0,05). Il était ressorti une différence statistique (p<0,05) entre les moyennes de production de lait des deux types caprins, c’est-à-dire que la production de la chèvre Rousse était régulièrement supérieure à celle Noire à tous les rangs de lactation. Les durées moyennes des intervalles entre les 1ère-2ème, 2ème-3ème, 3ème-4ème, 4ème-5ème et 5ème-6ème mises-bas chez les chèvres Rousses et Noires toutes robes confondues étaient respectivement de 8,36±1,56; 8,67±1,49; 8,66±1,34; 10,00±0,82 et 9,50±0,71 mois sans différence statistique. A la naissance, les cabris Noirs ont pesé plus lourds que leurs homologues Roux avec respectivement 1,67±0,20 et 1,61±3,55 kg mais sans différence significative. La moyenne de la circonférence (périmètre) scrotale décadaire augmentait de la première (D1) à la dixième (D10) décade respectivement de 5,13±0,89 à 10,71±1,61 cm pour les cabris Roux et 4,70±0,80 à 9,51±2,14 cm pour les Noirs de façon significative (p<0,05).
