 The purpose of the work is to develop methodological approaches to the assessment of young goats of dairy breeds by origin, growth and development. The object of research is the formation of young goats and the process of improving the system of its evaluation. Research methods - zootechnical, genetic-population, laboratory, biometric statistics using computer and software. Experimental kids were obtained from 3 purebred alpine goats. Live weight of kids at birth in group I was 4.8 kg, II - 4.0 kg. At weaning at 2 months, the goats of group I had a live weight of an average of 24.4 kg, and II at weaning at 1.6 months weighed an average of 12.7 kg. According to the results of weighing at 3 months, the goats of group I weighed 25.1 kg, and II - 19.0. By 6-6.5 months of age, the live weight of kids of group 1 (72 heads) was 29.9 kg, and the second (34 heads) - 28.9 kg. At 8.7 months, due to the higher growth rate, the former weighed an average of 39.3 kg, while the latter only 36.7 kg with a significant difference. The method of direct evaluation of young goats covers the period from the birth of animals to the first mating. Assessment of kids by origin begins at the stage of selection of parent pairs, taking into account their own productivity and assessment of the quality of offspring. The growth and development of young animals will be assessed in all periods of development by weighing, reviewing, measuring and determining indices. During the assessment at birth, the conformity of the breed type is determined. At 3, 6 and 9 months, the assessment of the milk type is carried out. In the period from six months to the beginning of the first mating, it is necessary to assess the type of body structure by the main features and sexes. Pedigree young are additionally evaluated in detail and on a commission basis with several repetitions
