The current research was carried out in various regions of Gujarat. A total of 160 goat farmers were chosen through a multistage random sampling technique. The findings indicated that the majority of goat farmers in different areas of Gujarat, except for South Gujarat, had open-type goat houses with a solid floor. Most of the farmers utilized full walls with enclosed roofing for their goat houses. Additionally, a large number of goat farmers maintain good sanitary conditions by regularly cleaning the shed and utensils, as well as washing the udder before milking. Regarding goat health, it was observed that the majority of farmers preferred allopathic medication for their goats and did not follow a vaccination schedule. This lack of adherence to vaccination was primarily due to the farmers' lack of awareness about the vaccination schedule in different regions of Gujarat and overall in the state. Furthermore, a significant proportion of goat farmers did not cultivate fodder and provided their goats with unchaffed fodder in group. Additionally, all farmers allowed their goats to graze from morning to evening between 9 am to 5 pm.
