INTRODUCTIONIndia has the largest goat population in the world. Their number

has increased at the annual rate of approximately 3.2% annum,

which appears to be the highest rate among all species of

livestock in the country. The worlds goat production in around

696 million (FAO 98) and is increasing at the rate of2.34 percent

per annum. The population of goats in Asia and Africa is around

66 percent and 26 percent respectively. Goats constitute a very

important species of livestock in our country, mainly on accountof the short generation intervals, higher rate of prolificacy and the

ease with which the goats as well as their products can be

marketed. Goats sustain themselves on sparse forage and extreme

climatic conditions. The goat population in the country is about

128 million (23% of total animal population in the country). Inspite of about (37.5%) animal slaughter rate and 15% mortality,

goat population has increased with an annual growth rate of

3.4%. They produce about 1.684 million tones of milk, 0.48

million tones of meat, 0.085 million tones pashmina and 0.109

million kg skin in addition to 390 thousand metric tones of

manure.
