Abstract (2. Language): 
The aim of this study was conducted to analyze the effect of sex, dam weight after kidding, weaning age and litter size on growth curve variations for kids 6-10 months old of Sistani goat. The data (81 records) were collected from the Institute of Research Domesticated Animal, Zabol University in Sistan & Baluchestan Province, Iran in 2008. The male Sistani kids showed significantly (P<0.01) higher weight at 10 months old (W10M) than female i.e., 31.1±0.616 and 25.63±0.418 kg respectively. Weight kids at 10 months old for kids born as twins (27.32±0.534 kg) were significantly heavier than those born as singles (29.13±0.82). Influence of dam weight after kidding on body weight at 10 months old (W10M) was not found to be significant during the entire period of study. At weaning, (on the 90th and 120th day) the kids weighed 28.03 and 28.09 kg respectively. The kids gained 96.44g on average daily in the period from 6 to 10 months old, but in comparison to female kids, male kids had higher average daily weight gain (98.25: 95.00 g). The kids in present research work had a faster growth rate from 6 to 9 months with daily gain 118.4 (g/d) that the average daily gain in kids decreased with the age increase from 9-12 months of age.
