Description
Improving Goat Production in the Tropics is written both for livestock specialists and for development workers who have not been formally trained in animal production. It explains the theory of goat-keeping, and how it can be used to design simple and cheap improvements in the nutrition, health, and breeding management of small or large flocks.
Practical, step-by-step guidelines are written in plain English and are fully illustrated with line drawings and photographs.
