The Alpine goats are originally from Alpine mountains located between France and Switzerland. The Alpine goats grow very quickly, have big and unique body figures, upstanding ears, and colors of brown, Isabella or black back with many different spots. They lead the world with their fecund and high milk yield. Since 2015, we have studied breeding domestic goat and Alpine goat to increase production of goat milk and dairy milk production and got the first generation of a hybrid kid in 2016 which located in Arvaikheer soum of Uverkhangai province.A hybrid between Alpine and Mongolian goat kid born from goat was 2.1±0.1 kg at the birth, 4.1±0.2 kg at the age of 1 months, 9.2±0.6 kg at the age of 3 months, 19.9±1.7 kg at the age of 6 months, and 21.4±1.2 at the 12 months in order to 1-year-old in average thus the birth weight increased by 10.2 times.
