Goat Gestation Period
2016-09-30 09:50:32 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
The Gestation Period for goats varies with the species:
According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goat
domestic goat: “Gestation length is approximately 150 days. Twins are the usual result, with single and triplet births also common.”
According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Goat
wild goat: “The gestation period averages 170 days. Does (females) usually give birth to one kid.”
According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boer_goat
Boer Goats: “The gestation period for does varies from 149 to 155 days.”
According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_goat#Life_cycle_and_breeding
Mountain goats: “Kids are born in the spring (late May or early June) after a six month gestation period.” (180 days on average).
The following animals are Ungulates (hooved animals) and related to goats:
According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronghorn
pronghorn antelope: “Pronghorns have a longer gestation period than is typical for North American ungulates. Bands of pronghorns live in open grasslands, gathering into larger herds in the winter. They breed in mid-September, and the doe carries her fawn until late May. This is around six weeks longer than the pronghorn's slightly larger distant relative, the whitetail deer.“
According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Himalayan_Tahr
Himalayan Tahr: “The gestation period is seven months, and usually only one kid is born at a time.” (210 days on average)
According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrenean_Ibex
Pyrenean Ibex (now extinct): “as the reproductive biology of goats is better known and the normal gestation period is only five months.”
According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ungulate
“Ungulates (meaning roughly "being hoofed" or "hoofed animal") are several groups of mammals most of which use the tips of their toes, usually hoofed, to sustain their whole bodyweight while moving. They make up several orders of mammals, of which six to eight survive. There is some dispute as to whether ungulate should be treated as an actual cladistic (evolution-based) group, or merely a phenetic group (similar, but not necessarily related),”
