Modern Milk Goats : Status of the Milk Goat Industry, Methods of Profitable Milk Production, Care and Management of Commercial Herds and Household Goats, 76 Illustrations

This book offers a comprehensive exploration into the transformative journey of milk goats from overlooked backyard animals to esteemed members of American agricultural life. Highlighting the shift from the common, often disparaged goat to the refined breeds of Swiss and English lineage, the author delves into how these animals have met the evolving needs of American society. Through detailed historical context, it traces the reasons behind this transitionfrom land scarcity and rising dairy costs to health concerns like tuberculosis, which goats notably resist.



The thematic depth extends to discussing milk goats as a sustainable source of nutrition, particularly emphasizing their role in combating infant mortality with their nutritious milk that closely resembles human milk in composition. Furthermore, this book serves an educational purpose, aiming to fill a gap in academic resources for students interested in agriculture, specifically goat husbandry.

With contributions from experts in animal husbandry and veterinary science ensuring its accuracy and relevance for practical use, this guide not only intends to inform but also to equip readers with the knowledge to engage in goat breeding responsibly. It stands as a testament to how understanding and integrating such animals can address broader societal challenges, affirming the significant impact of milk goats on both agriculture and public health.
