Abstract: The research work was conducted on 80 adult goats, 40 from each male and female, slaughtered at different slaughterhouses of Hyderabad city. The mean length, width and thickness of right kidney of male goat was 6.10?0.40, 3.60?0.50, 2.29?0.44 cm while that of the left kidney was 6.30?0.39, 3.59?0.47 and 2.20?0.11cm respectively. The circumference, length of medial and lateral border of right kidney of male goat was 9.54?1.10, 10.88?1.2 and 11.87?1.33cm and that of left kidney was 9.49?0.99, 10.83?1.19, 11.80?1.36cm respectively. The mean length, width and thickness of right kidney of female goat was 6.18?2.30, 3.24?0.39 and 2.36?0.42cm while that of the left kidney was 6.32?0.38,3.19?0.36 and 2.87?0.45cm respectively. The circumference, length of medical and lateral border of right kidney of female goat was 9.88?0.90, 10.79?1.33 and 11.93?1.29cm, while that of left kidney was 9.84?0.92, 10.85?1.21 and 11.87?1.40cm. The mean weight of right and left kidney of male goat was 66.41?10.0g and 65.67?9.97g respectively. The mean weight of right and left kidney of female was 66.34?10.98g and 65.40?11.0g respectively. Present research showed significant difference in the mean length and thickness of right and left kidney of male goat and also in the mean length of right kidney of female goat other parameters regarding biometry of right and left kidney of both sexes remained non-significant.
