At present,
Cao Duong commune is home to about 106 goat raising households with a total of
nearly 1,300 head. The breeders are seen in all villages but mostly in QuenThi
village, with 15 households. Among well-known goat breeders are Ha Van Dan and
Bui DinhChien in QuenThi village, Nguyen Van Tai and Bach Van Thin in Om Lang
village.
Bui DinhChien (QuenThi village) said that goat breeders must pay attention to
the animal’s characteristics. As goats like dryness and tidiness, their shelters
should be built in high, dry and cool places. Breeders must apply scientific
and technological advances in all stages, from shelter making to supervision
and management of goat herbs. To have healthy goat herbs, the first thing is to
select good breeding animals and clean up shelters regularly. Especially, feed
for goats must be kept dry to prevent themfrom getting stomachache. Goats have
high resistance so breeders only need to regularly worm and vaccinate them
against communicable diseases.
The goat consumption market is relatively stable. In some times, many
households had no goats for sale due to huge demand. With
the application of caring techniques and grasping of market demand, goat
farming is bringing in high economic efficiency, contributing to improving
living conditions of people in Cao Duong commune.
Bui Minh Bien, Chairman of the communal People’s Committee, said that to
develop and expand the goat farming, the committee has organised training
courses on a model toimprove local goat herbs using capital sources from the
agro-forestry promotion agency of Luong Son district. The commune implementsa policy
that the State pays 80 percent of money for purchasingmale goats while the
remaining 20 percent is covered by the breeder. In addition, it has also held
training courses on goat farming techniques, attracting more than 200 participants./.
