Overview

The future of goats as a domestic animal appears to be promising due to their ongoing usefulness and ability to generate new information for sustainable and profitable maintenance. Compared to cattle or buffalo farming, goat farming requires less initial capital and maintenance costs. Moreover, goats have a higher reproductive rate than cattle or buffaloes. In addition, goats can thrive on marginal lands that may not be suitable for other livestock species. This book specifically focuses on goat production in India, but it also includes information from around the world. Goats have played a significant role in research and development programs aimed at poverty alleviation through the use of small ruminants. However, the results of research are of little use if they are not disseminated. Therefore, this book is an important part of the strategy for disseminating and promoting research results to benefit poor and under-resourced farmers. Overall, this publication is expected to serve as a valuable reference source for anyone with an interest in goats.
