Goatery
Goat is a multi-functional animal and plays a significant role in the livelihood and nutrition of landless, small and marginal farmers in the country. Goat rearing is an enterprise, which is being practiced by a large section of population in rural areas. Goats can survive on available shrubs and trees in adverse and harsh environment in low fertility lands where no other crops can be grown. In pastoral and agricultural subsistence societies in India, goats are kept as a source of additional income and as an insurance against disaster. Goats are also used in ceremonial feastings and for the payment of social dues. In addition to this, goat has religious and ritualistic importance in many societies.
