Challenges and opportunities facing the livestock sector in dryland
regions of sub-Saharan Africa, this paper presents a novel way of
thinking about pastoral development, grounded in a conceptual
framework and modeling that focuses on the multiple shocks faced by
drylands livestock keepers.
Comprehensive and practical information on all aspects of the goat
meat industry. Goat meat is growing in popularity in Australia and
is also an important export industry. It offers many opportunities
for large- and small-scale farmers who need to diversify or seek
alternative enterprises. Farming Meat Goats provides producers with
comprehensive and practical information on all aspects of the goat
meat industry. It covers selecting and preparing a property,
choosing breeding stock, breeding, health care and nutrition,
drought feeding, condition scoring and marketing. This second
edition of Farming Meat Goats has been updated throughout and
contains new information about the National Livestock
Identification System, current regulations for ovine Johne's
disease and animal welfare during transportation, and information
about marketing. It will allow farmers to produce animals to
specification for targeted markets in Australia and overseas
including: butchers; supermarkets; restaurants; on-farm live sales;
sales to abattoirs that specialise in Halal kills; and breeding
stock either as replacements or for improved herd genetics.
