![]() George F W Haenlein Nutrition & Food Science International Journal, Volume 2, Issue 4, February 2017 Abstract The worldwide distribution of goats was discussed leading to the justifiable assumption that more people drink goat milk or eat their products than any other milk after weaning from human nursing. Goats have had a superior growth rate in numbers compared to other milk producing domestic animals, especially in the developing countries with large population increases and high rates of undernutrition and malnutrition. Goat farming, especially with milking goats can be quite profitable regardless of country, if intensive types of management are practiced, leading to the prospect that for the increasing people populations there are increasing numbers of milk producing goats available to fight undernutrition and malnutrition. The choice for goat milk has at least three reasons,

Abstract
Background A clear association of amino acid variation in the prion protein gene (PRNP) with susceptibility and resistance to classical scrapie exists in sheep, but not in goats. In this study we examined DNA sequence variation in the PRNP of 149 animals from two scrapie-infected herds of Saanen dairy goats, and identified 6 non-synonymous variants in the coding region. ![]() Mouad Chentouf Director regional de la International Goat Association (IGA) en el norte de África.

Esta bajada importante de los efectivos es debida a los años de sequía que conoció el país durante los años 80, pero también al abandono de la actividad hacia otras actividades agrícolas más rentables. La productividad del caprino marroquí es baja. La media nacional se estima en 38 kilogramos de leche y 6 kilogramos de carne por cabra y año. La producción anual del sector es de 25.000 toneladas de carne y 57 millones de litros de leche, lo que equivale respectivamente a un 5% y 3% de la producción nacional. A pesar de esos bajos niveles de producción, la ganadería caprina juega un papel esencial para la población de zonas montañosas y poco accesibles. El 83% de los efectivos están ubicados en pequeñas explotaciones de menos de 5 hectáreas, siendo las zonas montañosas y las saharianas las que cuentan con el 46% y el 16% del censo respectivamente. En estas zonas, el caprino juega un papel primordial aportando proteínas e ingresos para las poblaciones rurales locales. LEE MAS... Written by Stephen N. White PhD, David A.

These improvements are only possible when members pay their dues on time. When members delay their renewal, then the IGA has to pay to fill in that gap. Rather than raising membership fees, we implemented a late payment fee structure which has been in effect since early 2017. You accrue a $10 late fee when your membership renewal is more than one month late. You accrue an additional $5 for each additional month. The maximum late fee will never be more than the cost of a basic membership. If you have questions, please feel free to contact Christian De Vries, IGA's Executive Director: [email protected]. ![]() All people involved in sheep and goat sectors and enthusiasts for small ruminants are sad today after having learned the passing of Jean (Yan) Boyazoglu at the age of 81, on May 17th in Menton (France). The readers of Small Ruminant Research (SRR) and members of the International Goat Association (IGA) are particularly affected by this loss. Born in Alexandria to a Greek family that was originally from Istanbul, Jean dedicated both his personal and professional life to animal production all around the world. His passions for small ruminants and the Mediterranean were probably rooted in his Greek and East Mediterranean origin: This manual was written to assist producers, veterinarians, extension and dairy support personnel in the production of quality goat milk.

En este estudio se diseñó una encuesta en un aplicativo para los sistemas de producción, la cual fue diligenciada con tabletas. De igual manera se efectuaron encuestas en expendios y restaurantes mediante la plataforma del observatorio económico de la cámara de comercio de Valledupar. Se realizaron 360 encuestas en 25 municipios, siendo Valledupar el de mayor participación (25,3%). El 26.4% de los predios encuestados tienen entre 61 y 100 ovino caprinos, en 187 (52%) predios la actividad ganadera está compuesta por ovinos y bovinos, seguido de predios que combinan la producción ganadera ovina, caprina y bovina (27.5%). El 93.6% producen bajo pastoreo y el 90% tienen ciclo completo para la producción de carne ovina y/o caprina. El 66% de los productores no identifican sus animales y el 97% no llevan registros individuales (productivos, reproductivos y sanitarios). El 99.2% no se encuentran en programa de certificación para Buenas Prácticas Ganaderas. En el estudio de mercado el 67.4% de los expendios (89 en total) y el 46% de los restaurantes (total 200) encuestados en la ciudad de Valledupar no vende ni ofrecen carne ovina y/o caprina, conociéndose este tipo de carne como “carne de chivo” (88%). Se construyó una base de datos geográfica y se realizaron siete mapas temáticos y siete mapas interactivos en formato 3D, además de tres atlas cada uno con mapa individual de los 25 municipios del departamento del Cesar. Palabras claves: cabra, oveja, granja, mercados, mapa temático Fuente: AGROVO |
