Nigeria Has The Biggest Goat Population In Africa... by Nobody: 5:53pm On Dec 24, 2013 |
I don't know if this should fit here but i was really surprised by this fact....i wonder why goat meat is therefore more expensive than other meat types.. Worldwide goat population statistics According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the top producers of goat milk in 2008 were India (4 million metric tons), Bangladesh (2.16 million metric tons) and the Sudan (1.47 million metric tons).[30] World Goat Production: Selected Regions and Countries, 2008 Country/Region Total Animals (millions) Goat Milk (MT) Goat Meat (million MT) World ----- 15.2 4.8 Africa 294.5 3.2 1.1 Nigeria 53.8 N/A 0.26 Sudan 43.1 1.47 0.19 Asia 511.3 8.89 3.4 Afghanistan 6.38 0.11 0.04 Pakistan 60.00 N/A N/A India 125.7 4.0 0.48 Bangladesh 56.4 2.16 0.21 China 149.37 0.26 1.83 Saudi Arabia 2.2 0.076 0.024 Americas 37.3 0.54 0.15 Mexico 8.8 0.16 0.04 USA 3.1 N/A 0.022 Europe 17.86 2.59 0.012 UK 0.09 N/A N/A France 1.2 0.58 0.007 Oceania 3.42 0.0004 0.018 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goat |

Goat doesn't grow fast like other animals. My goat is about 4yr old yet I still consider it dwarf. My goat over feeds everyday because I live in a grassy area. But growth, for where? A 6 month old chicken is over mature. infact raising goats doesnt pay like other forms of agriculture... |
