The present assessment focuses on the goat industry in Rajasthan, with an emphasis on population and productivity. In India, the goat industry produces 1.21 million tons of goat meat (13.8%), 0.18 million tons of skins, and 6.26 million tons of milk (3%). Goats make up 50% of the total livestock population in Rajasthan and are the dominant species. As of 2019, there were 20.84 million goats in Rajasthan, which represents a 3.81% decrease from the previous census in 2012. Rajasthan produced a total of 3.10 million tons of goat milk and 95.23 thousand tons of goat meat in 2022-2023. The purpose of this review is to shed light on the current goat situation in Rajasthan and encourage entrepreneurship to establish more goat farms to improve the economic status of goat farmers in the region.

Aim: The present study was carried with the objective to know the management practices and socio-economic characteristics of Thanjavur Black goat farmers. Place and Duration of Study: Thanjavur, Thiruvarur, Nagapattinam, Tiruchirappalli and Pudukkottai districts of Tamil Nadu from April to September 2022. Methodology: Data was collected from 250 goat flocks in five districts of Tamil Nadu using stratified random sampling through a pretested interview schedule and analyzed by percentage, frequency and the Chi-square test. Results and Conclusion: The study revealed that Thanjavur Black goats were compact and docile in nature, so 54.40 percent of small farmers (with up to 2.5 acres) preferred to rear this goat. The Thanjavur Black goat is a native goat and mainly reared for meat purposes; 72.80 percent of the goat flocks were small (1–15 goats). Further, 51.20 percent of farmers were male, the majority of whom were in their middle age (59.60%) and had less than 5 years of experience in goat farming (47.20%). Besides, about 40.40 percent of the farmers completed their primary education and farmers, who accounted for 69.60 percent of them, were the most backward community. The study found that the majority of the farmers engaged in small-scale goat rearing as an additional source of income. The study further shows that 85 percent of the goat shelters were half open without a side wall, 50.80 percent of the farmers followed grazing only with additional rice gruel, 86.80 percent of mating happened on grazing land with other herd mates. Foot and mouth disease, enterotoxaemia and peste des petits ruminants disease were major in Thanjavur Black goats. So far, no significant efforts have been attempted to register this indigenous germplasm. The current study was conducted to record the management practices and socio-economic profile of the farmers.
