Features: Sheep eat grass and crop stalks, but they offer humans "deliciousness" and "beauty," provide farmers with "gold" and "silver," and give agriculture sustainable high-quality organic fertilizer. In human life, sheep can provide meat, milk, hides, wool, and cashmere, offering not only rich nutritional food but also raw materials for light industry development and export earnings. Therefore, raising sheep is of great significance for improving the economic income of farmers, enhancing dietary structures, and raising people's health levels. This book addresses the current status and issues of goat farming in China, based on years of work and production experience, referencing domestic new technologies in goat farming, and focuses on practical applications for farmers. It systematically introduces the meat goat breeds, reproduction and breeding, nutrition and feeding, and management of goat farming in China, aiming to help farmers achieve prosperity through goat farming.
