Goats hold significant potential for future domestication due to their versatile nature and ability to sustain and thrive in a more eco-friendly manner. In contrast to cattle or buffalo farming, goat rearing necessitates less initial and ongoing capital investment. Moreover, goats exhibit a higher reproductive rate compared to cattle or buffaloes, which makes them better suited for farming on marginal lands where other livestock may not survive.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of goat production, with a particular emphasis on India. It also incorporates relevant information from global sources. Goats have played a pivotal role in research and development initiatives aimed at poverty alleviation through the utilization of small ruminants. For research findings to be beneficial, they must be disseminated widely, and this book serves as a means of promoting and sharing research outcomes to benefit underprivileged and resource-constrained farmers.
This book is expected to serve as a valuable resource for anyone with an interest in goats.

Goats have a bright future as a domestic animal because of its continued usefulness and generation of new information to maintain this species in a more sustainable and profitable manner. Goat farming requires less capital to start and maintain than cattle or buffalo farming. Goat also has a higher reproductive rate as compared to cattle or buffaloes. Goat can sustain itself on marginal lands where other species of livestock may not even survive. The book has put emphasis on goat production in India but lot of information from world over is mentioned. Goats have been a major part of the research and development programmes aimed at poverty alleviation via the use of small ruminants. Research is of little use if its results are not disseminated and this book is part of the strategy for the dissemination and promotion of the research results to ensure that poor and under-resourced farmers benefit. The publication is expected to provide a useful reference source for all those who are interested in goats. (jacket). N° de réf. du vendeur 109295
