Features: Cashmere is a product derived from cashmere goats, distributed in northern China. The quantity and quality are best in desert and semi-desert areas, with the highest individual output from Liaoning cashmere goats. To meet the demand of the international market for cashmere, many regions have conducted extensive breeding and variety improvement of cashmere goats in recent years, achieving remarkable results and playing a significant role in improving the product quality of cashmere goats. To further apply advanced science and technology and push the development of cashmere goats to a new climax, we have compiled this book based on the experience of previous breeding work, providing a comprehensive introduction to the characteristics of cashmere, cashmere goat breeds, natural grazing grasses, types and processing of forage, grazing and feeding, feeding of various types of goats, reproduction technology, trait selection, barn construction, and disease prevention and control. It is intended for technical personnel, production management personnel, and breeders engaged in cashmere goat farming.
