This study was carried out to examine the growth and survival performances between birth and weaning (90th day) of hair goat kids born between 2019-2022 within the scope of the "Public Ovine Breeding National Project" carried out in the villages of the districts of Osmaniye. Growth and survival performances of year, season, sex, birth type, and maternal age factors in hair goat offsprings were investigated using Least Squares and Chi-Square methods, respectively. The average general birth weight of Capricorns is 3.61 kg for females and 3.67 kg for males; The average weaning weights were found to be 22.42 kg in females and 18.36 kg in males. In terms of birth weight, the differences between birth year, gender and main age groups were significant (p < 0.05), but birth type (p > 0.05) was not significant. There were significant differences in the weaning age of the kids between birth year, sex, birth type and main age groups (p < 0.05). The survival rate of Capricorns was %86.68 and it was significant in terms of the effects of birth year, gender, birth type and maternal age (p < 0,05). As a result, it was determined that the growth and survival performances of hair goat kids grown in Osmaniye province were 86.68.
