Summary
This study aimed to gather basic information on phenotypic characteristics and develop live weight estimation equations based on body measurements of indigenous goat types in selected districts of the South Gondar Zone. Multistage purposive sampling was employed based on the potential of goat production. For generating quantitative and qualitative data, linear body measurements were taken from 630 mature goats. Dentition was used to estimate the age of goats as age group one (1PPI), age group two (2PPI), and age group three (3PPI). Data were gathered through field observations and linear body measurements of sampled populations. The most frequently observed coat colors were white (23.80%), white and red (18.57%), red (13.70%), gray (13.17%), brown (9.50%), and black (6.03%). Moreover, the
