CHALLENGES OF GOAT HUSBANDRY

Low income: * Small herds (3 - 4); Non-descript animals; Low kidding rate; * Absence of selected bucks and frozen semen for breeding; * High mortality due to poor access to vaccination, deworming and veterinary services; * Underfed due to denuded pastures, fodder shortage and absence of supplementary feeding; * Low carcass weight (10 kg against 17 kg in Pakistan); * Poor access to market; Unfair trade practices; * Ignorance about good goat husbandry practices; * Poor access to credit facilities;

Lack efforts to control major diseases: PPR, Goat Fox, Enterotoxaemia, FMD, Brucellosis, HS, JD, TB, Anthrax, Coccidiosis Difficult for women goat keepers to interact with other stakeholders 09/04/2023
