Abstract: In this study, it was aimed that the estimating of growth curves for live weight from birth to 12th month age in young Hair goats. For drawing growth curves, Gompertz, Logistic, Brody, Negative Exponential and Bertalanffy growth models were used. Straightness degrees of these models for growth estimate are R2 = 0.977, R2 = 0.964, R2 = 0.989, R2 = 0.974 and R2 = 0.982, respectively. It was leant on this finding reached a decision that Brody and Bertalanffy growth models are suitable for identification of variations in live weight of young Hair goats.
