Book Description
Dairy goats have long been considered an important source of income for rural populations, providing the opportunity for profitable and sustainable diversity for small farms. Their importance is also increasing in intensive feeding systems and in large farms. They are highly adaptable due to their unique feeding habits and have become popular livestock animals in a range of environments, from temperate grasslands to subtropical, semi-arid and mountainous areas. Moreover, goat milk products are finding a growing acceptance in the world market and research has increased in feeding strategies for improved productivity and quality. Examining all aspects of dairy goat feeding and nutrition, this book represents a long awaited review of recent scientific research and updated techniques. Chapters discuss aspects such as the modelling and production of goat's milk as well as the estimation of nutrient requirements and food intake of goats.
Modern Milk Goats

Book Description
Excerpt from Modern Milk Goats: Status of the Milk Goat Industry, Methods of Profitable Milk Production, Care and Management of Commercial Herds and Household Goats, 76 Illustrations The much ridiculed goat of our back alleys is rapidly disappearing, and in her place has come to stay the trim well bred milk goat of Swiss and English origin, an attractive animal in appearance, and highly efficient as a milk producer. She has entered the field of American stock breeding in response to several different and definite needs of modern American life. The passing of cheap and abundant land, the consequent crowded and intensive conditions of agriculture, and the further consequence of soaring prices for dairy products, have created a demand for an animal that produces milk more economically than the cow and under conditions where a cow could not be kept. This demand the well bred goat fulfils. The spread of tuberculosis, a disease whose germ is often carried by the cow and her milk, creates a demand for a milk producing animal that is resistant to this disease. Again, the goat answers the need. The statistics of infant mortality, at last frankly faced by our modern leaders of social welfare, call for a food that will save the lives of children who cannot survive on the general substitutes for mother's milk.
