Abstract: In order to solve the problems of inbreeding and serious variety degeneration in local goats in Zhaojue Region of Sichuan Province, the hybrid experiment was conducted with Jianchang black goats as female parent and Meigu black goats as male parent which were introduced from Huili County and Meigu County of Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan Province, respectively. The growth adaptability of the crossbred black goats in Zhaojue Region was observed and the productive parameters of the introduced black goats and crossbred F1 goats were determined. The results showed that the average daily weight gain of the crossbred F1 female goats and male ones were 122.87 g and 143.62 g, respectively, which were similar to that in the origin; there were no obvious differences in body size trait between the introduced 12- to 24-month-old black goats and their counterparts in the origin, while the introduced ones had higher body weight compared to the ones with the same age in the origin; the body weight of the introduced female black goats older than 24 months was 23.14% higher than that of the ones with the same age in the origin. The combined data suggest that the introduced black goats have good adaptability to the environment in Zhaojue Region and the crossbred F1 black goats produced by the introduced black goats have normal growth performance in this region.
