KNBGs, maintained as purebred closed herds since 1997–1998, were studied for phenotypic traits from 2010 to 2019 at the Livestock Genetic Resources Center, National Institute of Animal Science, Korea. A total of 706 goats were analyzed, comprising 189 Dangjin lineage (91 female, 98 male), 242 Jangsu lineage (124 female, 118 male), and 275 Tongyeong lineage (125 female, 150 male). The weaning age of KNBG was 3 mon. The data are based on descriptive measurements collected during the study period, with no specific format for statistical presentation (e.g., mean±SD or mean±SE) specified in the original records. Data from Lee et al. (2019b).
Boer goat data were collected from 2012 to 2017 during an on-station breeding program at the Debre-Birhan Agricultural Research Center, Ethiopia. A total of 512 goats were analyzed, classified by sex (female and male), and presented as least squares mean (LSM)±SE. The weaning age of Boer goats was 3 mon. Statistical analysis was performed using the GLM procedure of SAS 9.0, with means compared using the Tukey-Kramer test. Weight adjustments were applied using standard formulas for growth stages. Data from Mustefa et al. (2019).
Saanen goat data were collected from June to November 2016 at AZ-Zahra Farm, Sandakan, Sabah, Malaysia. A total of 105 goats (80 female, 25 male) were analyzed, classified by sex (male and female). The weaning age of Saanen goats was 2 months. Data are presented as mean±SD, and statistical differences between groups were determined using Student’s t-test. Data from Khandoker et al. (2018).
