Goat Husbandry

What is goat husbandry?

Animal husbandry is the practice of caring and breeding livestock animals.
So that means, Goat Husbandry is the practice of caring and breeding goats.

Animal husbandry plays a very important role in the development and preservation of all livestock animals.
Taking good care of livestock improves the animal's ability to convert feed into meat, milk, or fiber for people to eat, drink, or wear.
Learning good husbandry practices plays an important role when owning a Fainting Goat.
This is because the Fainting Goat is a breed of goat that has a "Watch" status from the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy.
Just a few years ago, they had a "Threatened" status which means that there weren't very many Fainting Goats living in the United States.
But with good husbandry skills, we can keep the Fainting Goats healthy and breeding to help increase the number of Fainting Goats living in the United States.
