Part (B)The post weaning growth rate is below else pre weaning rate because concentration is lower
in the feed nutrients . weaning rate is depend on The consumtion of energy and feed intake of the
animals .some animal feeds different type of concentration and grazing systems.stall feed , tethering
restricted etc.

Part(c) The post weaning performance has different phases to incease of goat productions.some
animal have not growth rate due to genetics potential and nutritional imbalance . To incease the
production of goat rate to provide better dry mmatter intake and enhanced endocrine and
biochemical reactions and function .The ADG is misleading due to nutrition deficiency and stress on
the animal .post weaning rate is increase to increaseed the forages and feedstuff.Forages with
