Learning from the low-income level of the goat population in Algeria, and anxious to help them, the objective of our study is to proceed with the synchronization of heats and to evaluate the parameters of reproduction of 60 goats of the ‘Makatia’ breed from three regions of the wilaya of Mila. Mostly in the traditional breeding system (91.18%), the reproduction is in free mount. The heat synchronization rate is 100%, even with reduced doses of hormones. The average heat onset was 17.47 ± 1.31 h and the average heat duration was 26 h 30 min ± 2 h 13 min. The average non-return to heat rates observed from D17 to D21 after was 89.71%for the protocols with PMSG (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5), and 69.84% for the protocol without PMSG (6). Fertility rates varied from 64.47 to 53.51%. The gestation period was 144.83 ± 1.47 days, 148.5 ± 4.61, and 147.50 ± 2.59 days for single and double litters, and the average milk production was 160.9 ± 1.72 kg at 120 days, i.e. 1.34 ± 0.64 kg/d on average. These results show that efforts should be made to improve the breeding system and the genetic value of the Makatia goat through a coherent program of the application of reproductive biotechnologies.
