The effect of feeding level on the age and weight at puberty was investigated in 18 North Moroccan female kids maintained indoors under natural daylight (35°N). At weaning, the kids were subdivided into two groups, high nutrition group (H, n = 9) receiving a diet calculated to support a high average daily gain (ADG 150g/d) and the low nutrition group (L, n = 9) for a low ADG (50g/day). The kids were monitored from weaning (3 months of age) until all females showed, at least, one oestrous period. The groups were balanced for live weight at the beginning of the study (11.2  2.5 kg and 11.0  2.1 kg; P > 0.05). The oestrous behaviour was checked twice a day with vasectomized buck and blood samples were collected thrice-weekly to determine progesterone concentration. The age at puberty was defined as the date of first oestrus followed by luteal function. After puberty, the oestrous cycles were observed and ranked based on the length of luteal phase as short (<11 days), normal (11–19 days) or long (>19 days). The North Moroccan goat attains puberty between 270 and >330 days of age depending on body development. A high plane of nutrition enhances ADG (36  6 g vs 20  7 g; P < 0,05) and significantly lowers age at puberty (278.2  8.1 days vs 297.0  2.4 days; P < 0,05). However, overall ADG was lower than expected. Body weights at puberty were similar in groups H and L, respectively, 18.6  3.5 kg and 16.1  1.4 kg (P > 0,05); goats reach puberty at an estimated minimum weight of 17.6 kg. At puberty 60% of the first oestrous cycles were short and characterized by relatively low progesterone concentrations indicating an inadequate luteal development. In conclusion, the feeding level affects significantly age but not weight at puberty in the North Moroccan goat.
