The given study was conducted for duration of 18 months. The percentage of single birth and twin birth was 66.66 %, 33.33% respectively. The average birth weight of single and twin Berari kids were 2.07±0.08 and 1.85±0.62 kg respectively. In single and twin kids mean values of traits like age at puberty was 328.5±4.77, 334.41±0.75 (days), age at maturity 350.23±4.71,358.14±1.16 (days), weight at conception 17.01±0.44,16.88±1.84 (kg), gestation length 148.71±2.73,151.25±6.75 (days) and duration of estrus 26.41±1.87, 24.89±7.62 (hrs.) all the parameters which were non-significant for single and twin birth respectively. Age at first kidding 500±7.04, 512±0.18 (days), time required for kidding 110.85±6.25 118.27±0.65(min.), time required for expulsion of placenta 110.25±2.70, 106.43±1.27 (min.), weight of placenta 249.16±12.64, 254.51±2.05 (gm) and lochial disappearance 15.41±0.41,14.74±2.72 (days) were taken. All the observed parameters found non- significant.
