Summary. This study evaluated reproduction rates of two goat breeds—Kacang and Peranakan Etawah—raised by smallholder farmers in Central Java, Indonesia. Researchers collected data from 362 does over 20 months to measure kids weaned per doe per year and identify factors affecting productivity. Kacang goats produced 2.95 kids per doe annually versus 1.76 for Peranakan Etawah. Reproduction rates increased with parity, birth type, and litter weight at weaning, providing farmers with information to improve local goat production using available resources.
