Introduction
• The Barbari is one of 20 classified breeds in India and is most commonly
found in the north-western arid and semi-arid regions.
• Distribution- Haryana , Punjab and Uttar Pradesh in India
- Punjab and Sindh provinces of Pakistan.
• Other names are Bari, Sai Bari, Thori Bari,Titri Bari and Wadi Bari

• There is wide variation in coat color, but white with small light brown
patches is the most typical.

• Ears are short, tubular, almost double, with the slit opening in front,
erect, directed upward and outward.
• Both sexes have twisted horns, medium in length and directed
upward and backward. Horn length: 11.17 ± 0.27 cm .
• Bucks have a large thick beard.

• Barbari goats are very alert and attractive with short erect ears
• Raised for the meat production.
• Very well adapted to the climate and mortality is less.
• Conical teats, well adapted in stall feed condition.

Kidding in Barbari Goat :-
• Barbari goat attains its maturity early.
• Triple Kidding is quite common hence it is considered as the
productive breed in India.
• Milk yielding is sufficient for its kids so the kid mortality rate is very
less as compare to other breed.
![Page 10: Morphometric characteristics and a little about performance –barbari and chokla](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062412/5a6d48ad7f8b9ab3418b66ed/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Age at First kidding is 21 months or one and a half year.
• Kidding interval is minimum 10 months.
• Service period is 70 days.
• Kidding percentage in farmers flock is 70 %
Single 49.2%
Twins 50 %
Triplets 1.5 %
(Seth et al,.1968)
![Page 11: Morphometric characteristics and a little about performance –barbari and chokla](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062412/5a6d48ad7f8b9ab3418b66ed/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Under farm conditions:
• Age at first kidding : 648 ± 36 days
• Kidding interval : 348 ± 9 days
• Service period : 70 days
• Kidding percentage : 70.2 %Single 49.64%

Mortality. (Mittal et.al,.1976)
In farmers' flocks:
• In kids 0.87 ± 0.35% and in adults: 0.19 ± 0.14%.
Under farm conditions:
• Pre-weaning mortality is 41.5%.
![Page 13: Morphometric characteristics and a little about performance –barbari and chokla](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062412/5a6d48ad7f8b9ab3418b66ed/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Productivity :
• The Barbari is a dual-purpose breed, reared both for meat and for milk and
is well adapted for Indian conditions.
• It is seasonal breeder and is used for intensive farming.
• The milk yield is approximately 107 litres in a lactation of about 150 days.
![Page 14: Morphometric characteristics and a little about performance –barbari and chokla](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062412/5a6d48ad7f8b9ab3418b66ed/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Lactation yield : 107.120 ± 3.2789 kg
• Lactation length : 150.13 ± 5.247 days
• Daily milk yield : 0.760 ± 0.158 kg
• Dry period : 155.3 ± 10.6 days .

• Chokla is fine carpet wool Indian sheep and reared basically for its
wool quality and suitability for migration.
• Chokla grows the finest carpet wool of all the Indian breeds ranging in
its quality number from 54s to 60s count.
• The wool produced by Chokla sheep is heterogeneous and is generally
mixed with coarser fleece of other sheep before utilization as carpet
wool.

A pilot survey of Chokla sheep was conducted on 117 farmersbelonging to a cluster of 27 villages of Rajasthan in 1997 to assess thestatus of Chokla sheep in farmers' flock.
Average flock size varies from 43 to 61
