The aim of this study was to evaluate the weight development of native kids of Canindé breed, from birth to 84days of age in semiarid zone of Northeast Brazil. The does were maintened in native pasture predominantlycomposed by “caatinga”. And also received supplementation with multiple mixture throughout the year,regardless of the season, rainy or dry.
