abstract
In India goat meat is preferred by all class and community of people. Broiler goats are reared only for meat production. With suitable feeding and other managerial interventions successful broiler goat rearing are possible. It is easy to monitor herd health and control disease incidence effectively. Broiler goats will gain weight at faster rate due to the fact that the feeds are quickly converted into flesh. Broiler goat rearing allows collecting the manure effectively and farmers can earn additional income with the sale of manure. This intensive system of goat rearing is preferred when there is scarcity of pastures for ample grazing and the areas have high market demand. A farmer can maintain easily about 15-20 kids at a time without any additional labor. It is highly profitable to the farmers who are already involved in goat rearing and if locally low costs feed ingredients are available.
