goat production
An agricultural business concerned with breeding goats, primarily for meat, milk, and fiber (called mohair and cashmere). The domesticated goat is closely related and similar in size to sheep, but has many anatomical and physiological differences. Domesticated goats of the major breeds have been developed in, and are mainly derived from, five geographical areas: Swiss mountains (for milk); Indian, Arabian, and northeast African drylands (for meat and milk); west African lowland (for meat and milk); south African prairie (for meat); Turkish highland (for mohair production).
