AgromisaÃs Question and Answer Service receives many questions on goat keeping. We therefore have written this practical Agrodok on goat keeping. The aim is to provide basic information for those who
work directly with the small-scale goat farmers in the tropics. It is not our intention to be comprehensive. For those who wish to know more: a number of good in-depth books are mentioned in the bibliography.
In writing this book, we made use of materials of others. We wish to thank all those who have contributed to this Agrodok. We especially wish to thank Peter Hofs of the Tropical Animal Husbandry section of the Wageningen Agricultural University for his useful comments. We hope that this booklet will be useful and interesting for the readers.
