Goats are becoming increasingly popular because of their potential economic benefits and their ability to compliment other livestock enterprises. However, gastrointestinal parasites are a serious constraint in goat production; one solution may be selection for parasite resistance. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate pre-weaning and post-weaning growth performance of F₁ intact male Kiko × Boer goat kids from does divergently grouped based on parasite resistance. Intact male F₁ Kiko × Boer progeny (n = 57; 3.0 ± 0.70 kg birth weight) from 2 lines of does with either a high resistance to internal parasites (HL; n = 34) or low resistance to internal parasites (LL; n = 23) were compared. Goat kids were born and managed on pasture with ad libitum access to creep feed until weaning at approximately 100 d of age. Kids were then placed in a drylot with ad libitum access to water, commercial goat mineral, a high-concentrate finishing diet, and were offered mixed-grass hay at approximately 10% of their total diet daily. Pre- and post-weaning weights did not differ (P ≥ 0.16) between HL and LL; however, weights across pre- and post-weaning weigh periods collectively tended (P = 0.10) to be heavier for LL than HL. As expected, weight differed (P < 0.0001) across all weigh periods. Weight was regressed over all weigh periods using linear equations to graphically display differences in kid growth rate. Kids from LL had lower birth weights than HL, but, by weaning, weights of LL kids tended to increase at a greater rate (slope difference, P = 0.15) than that of HL kids (pre-wean weight_LL = 2.99776 + [0.13235 × weigh d], R² = 0.45 vs. weight_HL = 4.3369 + [0.1045 × weigh d], R² = 0.46). Yet, after weaning, weights of LL and HL kids increased at virtually the same rate (slope difference, P = 0.81). Maternal contributions to weaning weight differences are typically attributed to dam’s milking ability; thus, these preliminary results indicate that HL does may not have the same milk production as LL does when grazing parasite-infected pastures.
