Description
Written for both livestock specialists and development workers who have no formal training in animal production, this work explains the theory of goat-keeping and how it can be used to design simple and cheap improvements in the nutrition, health and breeding management of small or large flocks. The book is based on the belief that technical solutions must take account of the social, economic and organizational context into which they are introduced. The argument is put forward that it is not enough for development workers to understand the technology of livestock production, although this is vital, they also need to understand the context in which technology must function.
