Question

Explain why the number of goats has increased in pakistan​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: They prefer goats as an initial investment in agriculture as capital costs and fodder requirements are small. Livestock population trends (see Figure 1) show that the goat population in Pakistan has increased 650% in the last 45 years (1955-2000).

Goats are the fastest growing ruminants in Pakistan. Preference for goat meat is the major reason for its increased demand. There are 25 goat breeds in the country and two wild relatives such as Markhor and Ibex. Estimated goat population in the country in 2006 is 53.8 millions.
