A total of 587 kidding records of West African Dwarf (WAD) goats over 10 years (1982-1991) were used. Mean kidding interval and litter size at birth were 275.68 ± 6.08 days and 1.79 ± 0.05 kids, respectively. Effects of parity, season and year of birth were significant (P < 0.05) for kidding interval. Parity also had significant effect (P < 0.05) on litter size at birth. Heritability estimates of 0.35 ± 0.05 and 0.32 ± 0.07 were obtained from sire and sire-dam groups, respectively, for litter size at birth. Heritability estimate for kidding interval was 0.03 ± 0.01 from sire-dam group. Repeatability estimates of 0.38 ± 0.05 and 0.33 ± 0.03 were obtained for litter size at birth while 0.06 ± 0.04 and 0.04 ± 0.02 were obtained for kidding interval from dam and sire-dam group, respectively. Selection for multiple birth is likely to result in larger litter size while culling of does for long kidding interval should be based on more than two records.
