| Abstract
|
:
|
Goat meat is growing in popularity and is becoming an important export industry. It offers many opportunities for large- and small-scale farmers who need to diversify or seek alternative enterprises. This book deals specifically with the production of goats for meat and addresses all aspects of the industry that the producer is likely to encounter. It covers selecting and preparing a property, choosing the breeding stock, breeding, health care and nutrition, drought feeding, condition scoring and marketing. One of the key benefits of Farming meat goats is that it will allow farmer to produce animals to specification for targeted markets in Australian and overseas including: butchers, supermarkets, restaurants, on-farm live sales, sales to abattoirs that specialize in Halal kills, and breeding stock either as replacements, or for improved herd genetics.
