Abstract The research was conducted to evaluate the factors affecting on weaning weight (WW) and Kleiber ratio (KR) and to estimate genetic parameters for two traits in goats. The fixed factors affecting both traits indicated that year-season of birth, sex, birth type and regression of the Thai Native (TN), Boer (BO) and Saanen (SA) influenced on WW and KR (P
