Major economic traits of cattle and buffalopratee5
Selection and judging of the breeding stocks are the first and foremost steps to start with any breeding programme. For this, a no. of phenotypic and behavioral traits are taken into consideration. Breeding plans for cattle and buffalo should aim to meet the quantitative and qualitative demands of milk and meat in the country. From a practical standpoint, traits with a measurable or at least readily recognizable economic value are generally to be given the most emphasis.The economic traits are typically those that affect either the income obtained or the costs of production. So, a thorough understanding of economic traits of livestock is of utmost importance.
Feed is very vital part in the animal nutrition. The classification pertains to a clear cut stratification in terms of their nutrient content mainly depending upon the digestible crude protein content.

exotic breeds
.Based on the place of origin (Standard or official classification)
.Based on utility, economics or commercial value
Turkey breeds, quail varieties, duck breeds, comb types
In India, as not much of attention is paid so far as to this important aspect- animal housing, we find different types of animal houses constructed without careful planning and designing.

Goat farming involves the raising and breeding of domestic goats (Capra aegagrus hircus) as a branch of animal husbandry. People farm goats principally for their meat, milk, fibre and skins.
Goat farming can be very suited to production alongside other livestock (such as sheep and cattle) on low-quality grazing land. Goats efficiently convert sub-quality grazing matter that is less desirable for other livestock into quality lean meat. Furthermore, goats can be farmed with a relatively small area of pasture and with limited resources.
Goat rearing or goat farming is one of the major contributors to the animal husbandry sector of our country. Goat farming is an extremely profitable and sustainable business due to several reasons. Firstly, goats are hardy in nature, and they can adapt to various climatic conditions. They can thrive in arid and semi-arid regions, making them ideal for the Indian climate.
Secondly, goats are prolific breeders, and their gestation period lasts for only five months. This means that a farmer can quickly increase his herd size in a short period. Thirdly, goats are versatile animals that can be reared for meat, milk, and fiber. This gives farmers multiple streams of income from a single animal. Goats are reared specifically for meat purposes in our country.
It is amongst one of the most sought-after livestock practices after the milk/dairy industry. Apart from meat, goats are also reared for their milk as well as fiber, making them one of the most profitable animals to rear. India is the world’s largest producer of goat milk and the third-largest producer of goat meat, which highlights the significance of goat farming in the country.
Goat farming in India is quite a lucrative business as the inputs are significantly lesser than the outputs or returns. The returns are quite high which is why this industry continues to grow exponentially.
Goats are quite versatile and can adapt easily to various environments and are hardy in nature. They require less investment and time as well. Thus, they are an ideal choice for animal husbandry farmers. Let us have a look at goat farming in various states in India.
Goats are reared for milk and meat. Goat is a multi functional animal and plays a significant role in the economy and nutrition of landless, small and marginal farmers in the country. Goat rearing is an enterprise, which has been practiced by a large section of population in rural areas. Goats can efficiently survive on available shrubs and trees in adverse harsh environment in low fertility lands where no other crop can be grown. Around the world, more people drink goat milk than cow milk. Also, more people eat chevon (goat meat) than beef. The World Health Organization says that more than 70% of the world’s population has some allergy to cow milk. The allergic symptoms could be stomachaches, gas, skin rashes and ear infections. An allergy to goat milk is very rare. Goats are the First Ruminant Domesticated in Mankind.
