Summary
Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) contracted the New South Wales Department of Primary Industries (NSW DPI) to design a series of experiments to study the potential growth rate of rangeland goats and to compare the economic and environmental impact of goat and Dorper enterprises. This report details four experimental designs intended to achieve the objectives of MLA and the Goat Industry Council of Australia (GICA). A review of literature on goat growth and factors affecting their growth rate is also included.
