The aim of this study was to determine the growth, testicular dimensions, body measurements of kids until the weaning age and mature goats in the recently defined Honamli goat breed in Turkey. This study has been carried out on 7 different Honamli herds that consist of 207 kids, 174 goats and 22 goat bucks that have been breed in the Burdur, Antalya and Konya provinces under extensive conditions. The average of some important measurements such as withers height, rump height, body length, chest girth, tail length, nose length, distance between two horns, neck length, left front wrist girth and left back wrist girth on the 90th day at Honamli herd kids were determined to be 62.3 cm, 62.4 cm, 64.4 cm, 62.2 cm, 19.4 cm, 19.2 cm, 2.2 cm, 26.7 cm, 8.3 cm and 8.3 cm, respectively. The average live weights of the Honamli goats and bucks were determined to be 63.5 kg and 77.3 kg. The withers height, rump height, body length, chest girth, tail length, nose length, distance between two horns, neck length, left front wrist girth and left back wrist girth of mature goats were 83.0 cm, 83.3 cm, 88.3 cm, 91.0 cm, 20.8 cm, 25.9 cm, 2.2 cm, 36.2 cm, 10.2 cm and 10.2 cm, respectively. The scrotal circumference, right testicular length, left testicular length, right testicular diameter, left testicular diameter and the testis volume of Honamli male kids on the 120th day were 19.8 cm(3), 7.1 cm(3), 7.0 cm(3), 3.2 cm(3), 3.2 cm(3) and 115 cm(3) respectively.
