Abstract: LEOPOLDO FIGUEROA REYES, University of the Philippines at Los Banos, March, 1980. Adaptability and Reproductive Functions Of Improved Goats Dispersed in Selected Educational Centers in the Philippines Professor: Dr. Teodoro Abilay A research study was conducted in two phases. Phase I was experimental study to determine the reproductive performance of e and improved goats under Pampanga Agricultural College conditions and the second phase was a survey on milk production reproductive functions of improved goats raised at different Agricultural Centers. A completely randomized design (CRD) with unequal J number of observations involving twenty-three (23) breeding was used. The results showed that the three goat stock Saanen and Anglo-Nubian) did not differ significantly on is length of the estrous cycle, estrus duration, services per conception, gestation period and kidding rate. On the other hand, significant negative correlations were obtained between ambient temperature and pulse rate of does. The improved breeds consistently showed higher growth rates those of the native grades. Also, the single born kids of "geed stock” were consistently higher in weights than the twinborn kids from birth up to weaning. There was no significant differences among the three treatment groups as far as estrous interval estrus duration and service per conception were concerned. The daily milk production of the goat stock showed highly significant differences (pi_ 0.05). The body temperature, respiration rate and pulse rate did not vary significantly (P•0.05) in all groups. In Phase II, milk production of goats raised at Baptist Rural Life Center, Miagao Breeding Farms (3AI), and NRLC, Cavite, ranged from 0.736 to 1.8 liter. Data on estrous cycle and estrus duration gathered from the different agricultural centers showed ranges from 16-26 days and 2.4-2.9 days, respectively. One service per conception was observed from Baptist Rural Life Center (Mindanao) and (BAI) Miagao Breeding Farms. The gestation period of three goat stock (native, grade Anglo-Nubian and purebred Anglo-Nubian) raised at USM did not show significant relationship (130.05).
