Goat and Sheep Farming

Small ruminant production is important due to the fact that sheep and goats are easily managed, require a relatively small initial investment and their short generation interval lends itself to a fast return on investment. In India, smallholder farmers raise sheep and goats as a major source of meat and immediate cash income. International demand for sheep and goat meat is increasing. Given the potential of india  in terms of livestock and geographic location, the small ruminant sector is not making a satisfactory contribution due to market-, breeding-, and management-related problems. Thus, understanding these problems and the socio-economics and marketing of sheep and goats is vital for future improvement of the sector. The   domestication  of  animals  was  carried  out   during Neolithic  times  along with the cultivation  of  cereals.  First goats  and  sheep,  second cattle and  pigs,  and  finally  draft animals such as horses and asses were domesticated.
