We are ecstatic to write that this book is only one of the kinds to provide complete information on goat rearing, starting from stock selection till you market the stocks. The dynamics of society changes and also the dynamics of livestock rearing. Goat rearing is one of the sectors in India which see constant demand irrespective of economic fluctuations. It provides the scope not only for sustainability but for prosperity too. Considering the importance, people from all sectors come forward to try their best infusing different logics and ideas. Understanding the necessity of people who may be students or entrepreneurs, the book has been designed to provide information on different goat breeding techniques after making suitable selection programme, housing, feeding and health care management of goats. Further, we have also provided our readers some knowledge relevant to establishment of goat farms. In this regard, we have given and explained the details with respect to the routine activities in the goat farms and the records need to be maintained in the farm. If you are not wise enough to market your products, the business entity will not thrive successfully for a long period. Therefore, we have added information on marketing and value addition of goat products also. We hope that these information, from manufacturing to marketing, would provide immense help to the readers and would bring prosperity to the individuals in general and to the society as a whole in particular.
