Goat are domestic animals found around us; they understand human beings. Goats are known for their bleating sound which they use in communicating and expressing themself. Goat are bred for different purposes such as companionship, producing milk and meat.
Goat as Human Companion goat are seen to live around humans. They are human playmate, especially the young goat, they are known to run around, climb and jump; all of this is fun to watch. Creating a bond between animal and man.
Goat is a source of milk production. A Goat produces milk with lower fat compared to that of a cow, which makes it easier for some people to digest. Goat milk is also suitable for those with lactose intolerance.
Goat is a source of meat. Goat meat is a healthy meat with lower fat, unlike some other meats. This meat, when well preserved, can last and be used for a longer time. Goat meat can be roasted, chopped into pieces and dried, fried or cooked.

Goats' Benefits in Agriculture
Goats are not capital-intensive for a farmer to maintain; they require low investment, making it easier for the farmer.
Goat excrement is a rich source of manure for growing plants on the farm. When a farmer incorporates goat breeding in his farm, getting this manure as a natural fertiliser becomes cheap to get.
Goats help in clearing bushes by feeding on them, which gives space for other agricultural uses. This can also be a means of weeding out the farm.
Goats do not take a longer time to start reproducing. It has a short reproduction period which is a fast increase for the farmer as it reproduces in multiples.
There are different species of goat with their unique benefits. These includes

Mutton(goat meat) are quite tasty and nutritious but rearing goats entail a lot especially when you have a good number of them in your pen. This days in Nigeria, many people can't afford a good quantity of its meat unlike before due to the hike in its value. A mature goat that was sold for 15-20 thousand naira is now more that 40 thousand naira, I wonder were we are heading to.
I would like to have that dried goat meat 😄😄, all the best @chilaw
Yeah, goat meat has a good taste and it's nutritious. I like it. There is no doubt that goat are expensive these days, due to the state of the economy, which has led to an increase in the price of many items. We hope it gets better.
For the dried goat meat wish I could send some to you😀

hello 😊 That's right, goats do provide many benefits for farmers. In addition to being easy to raise and not requiring a lot of capital, the benefits of manure really help fertilize the land naturally. I also like the part about goats being able to help clear bushes, this is a natural solution for weeding the land. The fast reproductive cycle of goats is also clearly beneficial. Hopefully more farmers will utilize goats in their farming systems!"
Yes, goats are a beneficial animal to rear. Lots of farmers who have understood its benefits now invest in it.
Thank you for stopping by.
