Short summary
This study aimed to investigate relationships between insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) concentrations and some body trait measurements and climatic factors with respect to prepubertal goat kids. It was found that there was a significant relationship between IGF-1 concentrations and growth characteristics of the goat kids, and IGF-I concentrations of the goat kids were significantly influenced by climatic factors.
