“…The sheep farms showed loss (-11.5 e/animal), the farm income without subsidies was 69 e/animal, the family income is 61 e/animal and finally, the gross return accounts to 85 e/animal. Gökdai and Sakarya (2021), studied the factors affecting the profitability of Saanen goat enterprises in Turkey. The findings of the enterprises were determined by descriptive statistics, and multiple regression analysis was used to determine the factors affecting the total profitability of the enterprises.…”

Greece is a country with a long tradition in animal breeding, particularly involving small ruminants and goat farming is an important livestock industry. Despite the high productivity and high quality of products, the goat industry shows low competitiveness due to high production costs compared to other EU countries. For economic sustainability, farms have to be profitable; therefore, it is important to maximize income whilst controlling costs. The aim of this paper is to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the goat breeding industry so that it is not only viable but also competitive. The economic performance of goat farms are evaluated in this study, as well as the factors that influence financial results. Capital formation and production costs composition of the holdings are examined. Moreover, the purpose of the analysis is to draw conclusions regarding the gross return achieved, the participation of production factors (land, labor, capital) in the composition of total costs, and the financial results achieved. Results show that the cost of feed, depreciation, and the value of animals contribute most in the formulation of cost.

The increasing human population and food shortage have driven the need for alternative feed resources for animals that are not intended for human consumption. Oil seeds and its derivatives are suitable options to meet the escalating global demand for animal feed proteins. Soybean, rapeseed, canola, sunflower, cottonseed, groundnut, linseed, chia, palm kernel, hempseed are noteworthy oilseeds and camelina is one of them. Camelina sativa (CS), an ancient oilseed crop belonging to the Brassicaceae family, is known for its resistance to drought and cold, as well as its various uses for meal, oil, and other products. However, it also has some anti-nutritional factors (ANF) that can limit its use as animal feed. These ANF can be reduced by various methods such as enzyme addition, heat treatment, fermentation, or genetic engineering. CS and its by-products can affect animal metabolism, especially lipid metabolism and hormone level and can also improve the fat profile of meat and milk products, making them more suitable for human consumption and health. CS and its by-products had weight gain outcomes and protected dietary PUFAs, but decreased bio-hydrogenation intermediates. Meat from small ruminants fed CS-supplemented diets had a suitable fat profile for human consumption. Feeding with CS seeds and derivatives decreased milk fat concentration, yield, and fat-corrected milk. Camelina forage, however, increased milk fat percentage. Results on CS and its by-products' effect on milk fatty acid composition were conflicting. CS meals may improve milk product composition, making them healthier for humans. More research is needed to determine how CS meals can be used in dairy ewe and goat diets at different life stages.
