Abstract: |
There are about 8.47 million goats in Nepal (MoAC 2009). Most of these goats are local and very adaptive to the different ecological zones of Nepal (Subtropical (Terai goats), mid hills (Khari Goats), Mountains (Sinhal) and Temperate (Changra). There may be about 18 percent crosses between these locals and exotic breeds such as Jamunapari, Barbari, and Kiko. Although the number of the goat population is big, their performances in terms of daily live weight gains were very low (40 to 66 g) as compared with the daily live weight gains of Boer Goats (136 to 250 g) and daily live weight gains of Boer goat crossbreds (100 to 200 g)…………………… |
