2. Welfare: Animal welfare refers to the state of
the animal; the treatment that an animal receives
is covered by other terms such as animal care,
animal husbandry, and humane treatment.
Protecting an animal’s welfare means providing for
its physical and mental needs..

3. Goat
 Goat is a hardy domesticated ruminant mammal that
has backward-curving horns. It is kept for its milk and
meat, and noted for its lively behavior.

4. Population of Goat:
 There are over 210 breeds of goats with an estimated
450 million goats in the world(2001).
 Of the 450 million goats in the world,it is estimated
that approximately 6-8% of them are in the North
America.
 The majority of the world goat population can be
found in the mideast and Asia.

5. Benefits of raising goats
 They are raised for milk,meat,wool,fibre and skin.
 Goat are also used to make gelatin, the manure is used
for fertilizer.
 They are used for research model in biological studies.
 In fact more people around the world consume goat
milk than cow milk.

6. Why Goat welfare is needed?
 Goat welfare is needed for the disease control and
prevention and treatment from infection.
 Goat welfare is needed to make it fit and to provide it
healthy living condition.
 Goat welfare is needed to make it free from any stress
for its proper growth and development.

7. Basic requirements for the welfare of Goats
 Food and water to sustain health and vitality;
 Sufficient space to provide freedom to stand, lie down,
stretch, turn around, move about and groom
themselves;
 Protection from predation;

8.  Protection from disease, including disease that can be
exacerbated by management;
 Protection from extremes of climate during certain
phases of their life;
 Protection from pain, suffering and injury.

10. Welfare during pregnancy
 Gestation length is 145–155 days (average 150 days) and
can be affected by breed, litter weight, environment,
and parity.
PREGNANCY DISEASES AND THEIR CURE
 Pregnancy Toxemia
 Pregnancy toxemia in goats is similar to that in sheep.
 It occurs during the final 6 week of pregnancy by
reduced feed intake coupled with high energy
demand.

11.  CURE
 Treatment range from dietary modification with oral
administration of propylene glycol to intensive
supportive care with administration of IV fluids with
dextrose, insulin, and pregnancy induction.
 Vitamin B12 may also be administered as an appetite
stimulant.

12.  Vaginal prolapse
 Vaginal prolapse is fairly common in does and is
believed to have a hereditary component.
 If complete vaginal prolapse occurs, intervention is
required to prevent injury and infection.
 Owners should be advised that vaginal prolapses will
recur with each pregnancy, so they can decide whether
to cull the animal.

13. Management practice for kid after
birth
 After the kidding is complete make sure that airways
are open and kid is able to breath.
 We can use a clean piece of straw to gently take it in
the kid nostrils to make it sneeze, clearing the
remaining mucous.

14.  In order to prevent chill in the new born kid especially
in cold winter carefully dry the kid with clean towel or
allow the goat to lick it dry.

15.  If the herd is not free from the diseases then keep the
kids separate from the herd in clean and dry
environment.

16.  Make sure that doe is producing colostrum and kid
suckling well.
 If the doe is producing colostrum, move the kid to the
udder

17.  Establish the tube feeding protocol if the kid is not
suckling well

18. Management of clostrum

19.  Naval disinfection should be done as soon as possible
after birth
 Make sure that naval is clean and disinfecting solution
is covering upto the belly.

20.  Castration should be carried out on kids as early as
management practices allow, preferably before 2
months of age.

21. Welfare in goat farming
1. Food and water
 Goats should have access to or be provided with
adequate food to maintain their well-being.
 Goats should not be deprived of food for periods
longer than 24 hours. The food available to goats
should meet the requirements of maintenance,
growth, pregnancy, lactation and fiber production,
and any extra demands such as exercise or cold stress.

22.  Clean, potable water must be readily accessible to
goats.
 The amount of water drunk depends upon the dry
matter content of feed eaten and surface moisture
available from rain or dew, body weight of goats and
production level, especially of lactating goats.
 . A goat in full lactation may consume up to 10 litres of
water per day; this intake may double if the
temperature exceeds 40'C.

23. 2. Drought
 Drought may be defined as a severe rainfall shortage
which leads to deficiency in water and/or feed supply
for grazing goats.
 Drought-affected goats are highly susceptible to stress
and require careful handling:

24. Goat death by drought

25. 3. Protection from climatic extremes and
predation
 Goats are sensitive to extremes of weather and all
reasonable steps should be taken to minimize the effects
of climatic extremes and other factors that produce
either cold stress or heat stress.
 . Reasonable precautions should be taken to protect
goats from predation. The use of electric fencing should
be considered.

26. 4. Intensive goal systems - housing and
accommodation
 Feedlots and feed pads should provide sufficient
space for each goat to be able to stand, turn
around, stretch, lie down and move to feed and
water.
 . They should have access to shelter, food and
water.

28. 5. Goat handling facilities
 Sheds, pens, yards, lanes, loading ramps, dips and areas
where goats are forced to congregate should be so
constructed and maintained and of such a size as to
minimize the risk of injury, disease, overcrowding and
trampling.
 Floors or yards, sheds, pens and loading ramps should
have a surface which is not slippery and which facilitates
cleaning.

29. 6. Management practices
 Management procedures carried out on goats should
be competently performed.
 Any injury, illness or distress observed should be
promptly treated.
 Appropriate preventive treatment should be
administered to goats for diseases that are common in
a district or are likely to occur in a goat herd, in
particular enterotoxaemia ('pulpy kidney') and
tetanus.

30.  External parasites, such as lice, should be treated as
early as possible.
 Suitable methods of administration of vaccines and
medication should be employed.
 . Any medication which does not bear specific
instructions for treatment of goats should be
performed on the farm in a humane manner.

31. Animal Welfare
 There are many welfare societies in the world which
work for the welfare of animals.
 Some of the societies in different countries are as
follows,

32. Welfare Societies in Asia
 The welfare societies of different subcontinents are
working for example the welfare societies of Asia are
>Animals Asia Foundation
>Animal Safety Organization

33. Welfare Societies in Pakistan
 Give Us Life Animal Welfare
 Pakistan Animal Welfare Society

34. Pakistan Animal Welfare Society
 PAWS (Pakistan Animal Welfare Society) is a non
profit organization registered as a company limited
founded in 2004.
 It is run by volunteers, without having a specific
shelter, business venue or paid staff located in Karachi,
Pakistan.
 All funds raised go directly towards rescuing and
treating animals as well as awareness raising and
advocacy work

35.  If human being understand the importance of animals
that they are the beauty of our nature than it would be
easy to protect the animals from extinction and from
becoming endangered in the future.
