Abstract
The productivity of Altai white down goats with horns of the prisk and bezoar goat type was studied. Goats with horns of the prisk type reliably exceed goats with horns of the bezoar goat in the length of down by 5.6-7.8%, in fluffiness by 9.5%, their fluff is coarser by 27.96% or 2.74 µm. The live weight of kids at weaning from goats with horns of the prisk type is higher by 1.57 kg or 6.5%.
