Goat science covers quite a wide range and varieties of topics, from genetics and breeding, via nutrition, production systems, reproduction, milk and meat production, animal health and parasitism, etc., up to the effects of goat products on human health. In this book, several parts of them are presented within 18 different chapters. Molecular genetics and genetic improvement of goats are the new approaches of goat development. Several factors affect the passage rate of digesta in goats, but for diet properties, goats are similar to other ruminants. Iodine deficiency in goats could be dangerous. Assisted reproduction techniques have similar importance in goats like in other ruminants. Milk and meat production traits of goats are almost equally important and have significant positive impacts on human health. Many factors affect the health of goats, heat stress being of increasing importance. Production systems could modify all of the abovementioned characteristics of goats.

Milks derived from domesticated dairy species other than the cow are an essential dietary component for many countries around the world. Especially in developing and under-developed countries, milks from secondary dairy species are essential sources of nutrition for the humanity.

Furthermore, because of hypoallergenic properties of certain species milk including goats, mare and camel are increasingly recommended as substitutes in diets for those who suffer from cow milk allergies.

The goat dairy industry in Wisconsin is a niche market. Currently, there are 165 licensed goat dairies in the state. According to manufacturers of goat milk products, sales are increasing by 10 to 15 percent annually. Despite the rapid growth of the industry, operating a profitable goat dairy requires careful planning and management. The main purpose of this "Best Practices Guide" is to provide some insight into the dairy goat industry. This guide contains basic knowledge to help those who are considering a dairy goat operation make a sound decision as to whether or not this would be a viable business for them.Success in the industry is not guaranteed. A goat dairy farmer in this "Best Practices Guide" is defined as a farm milking at least 50 does and selling their milk to a milk plant. There are a few exceptions but most plants require a farm to be milking at least 50 does before they will consider picking up their milk due to the cost of transportation. A farmstead dairy is one in which the farm processes their own milk and sells their own product. Before deciding to start a commercial dairy goat operation, it is critical to ask yourself several questions:The first question that you will need to answer is: "Why do I want to become a dairy goat farmer?" If the answer is "I love dairy goats and it would be a cool way to make a living," make sure you're not getting ahead of yourself. You may want to start with just a few goats, milking them for your own use, and looking at other possibilities for working with goats. If the answer is "I like goats and I feel that I have the ability to manage a dairy herd and make a reasonable income," then you may want to do your homework and decide if a goat dairy is for you. This needs to be viewed as a business venture.
