“…The average flock size was found to be 5.48±0.15 (Mean ±SE) goats per household with a maximum of 15. The average flock size was similar to findings in Kaski District by Redding et al (2012) whereas Nepali et al (2010) reported that farmers raised an average of 4 goats in Syangja district. Details on goat flock structure is shown in Figure 2.…”

An assessment was done to analyze the status of small scale goat production system in Chitwan, Nepal. A semi-structured questionnaire having both open ended and close ended questions were interviewed to 147 farmers (69 males, 78 females). The average goat holding was 5.48±0.15 head with female: male ratio of 6: 5. Mainly women folks in the household were involved in husbandry of the raised goats. In this research, we realized that goats were a valuable commodity for the community in the survey area. Grazing in public forest, fallow lands, tree leaves, shrubs and bushes were the main sources of feed for goats throughout the year. When inquired about vaccination, 92.51% of the farmers did not vaccinate their goats and were not aware about its importance. The high index obtained was for health care constraints, followed by feeding constraints, breeding constraints, miscellaneous and marketing constraints. The findings of this survey are not very encouraging as even from one of the developed parts of the country, small scale farmers raising small small scale farmers raising goats seem to be struggling both in terms of technical and logistic inputs. There is need of awareness on improved care and management practices of goat.

“…Also, reported the average income from goat sale was estimated to be Rs 11,299 per household (Thakur et al, 2003). Goat production technology is the combination of breeding, health, nutrition, management, pasture, fodder and agro-forestry (Nepali et al, 2010). In this study, housing, feeding, breeding, health and general management aspects were taken to measure the level of adoption.…”

The study was done to explore the concept and effectiveness of smart agriculture village model program among goat farmers in Bardiya, Nepal from view point of agriculture sustainability. Primary data were collected using semi structured questionnaire with randomly selected 80 households from program implemented villages. Adoption index, scaling technique and before-after impact assessment tools were used for the data analysis. Before, goat farming was of traditional type with low productivity and very less earning in the study area. Study revealed that after the implementation of program, household income from goat farming found significantly increased by 31.41% in the study area. Farmers average annual income from goat raised to NRs. 50987 from NRs. 38800 in the study area. With the intervention of the program, average herd size was increased to 16.99 from 12.69, average numbers of doe increased from 5.23 to 7.09, average number of kids per kidding increased from 1.83 to 2.28, kid’s mortality and abortion rate found decreased. After the implementation of program general management obtained highest adoption index of 71.07 and 66.43 in Thakurbaba and Geruwa village respectively followed by health, housing, breeding and feeding practices. Occurrence of disease was found as the most challenging constraints in the study area with 0.80 index value followed by high kids’ mortality and expensive feed and forage. Among the surveyed household, 38.75% were satisfied and 36.25% were moderately satisfied with the implementation of program. Based on these findings, although the program model seems successful approach for sustainable community development, the study suggests possible interventions for breed and feed improvement measures and in-depth orientation and follow-up is compulsory before replications.

People in Ukraine are paying more and more attention to goat breeding products, and the demand for the products encourages the population to actively engage in the industry. Currently, about 95 % of the goat herd in Ukraine is concentrated in private peasant farms. Today, none of the livestock industries in Ukraine has such a high concentration of animals among the population. So, within the framework of analytical studies, the main types of family farms have been identified in terms of their size and structure. It was determined that they are divided mostly into three main types: small household plots with up to 10 animals, small family farms with up to 100 animals and farms with more than 100 milking goats. An analysis of the farming aspects of these types of farms and the perspectives for further development revealed some general results and general trends. Goat keeping in small household plots with up to 10 goats is not subject to a deep economic and technological analysis, the management is done with an amateur approach, and the technologies are based on personal family experience and vary considerably between them. The goats are only raised for the production of their own family. Goat keeping on small family farms with up to 100 goats is oriented towards the global experience of running a small family business. These farms produce and sell milk, process it into craft products (cheese, yoghurt, etc.) and provide green tourism services. Farms, which contain more than 100 heads of goats can be classified as agricultural enterprises, where industrial technologies for conducting the industry are applied. The products are sold by wholesale or through retail outlets. In general, an analysis of approaches to farming on different family farms has revealed that small family farms with up to 100 animals are the most promising from a socio-economic point of view. They are more progressive than extensive small household plots and are more flexible in many managing aspects than large-scale farms. Family farms are able to respond to market demand in a timely and sufficiently fast manner, adapt to it and make a profit.
