Goats have been reared since time immemorial. Goat farming requires low initial investment or capital because of its multi-functional utility. Goat farming also provides a great source of regular income for the poor, landless and marginalized farmers as they are easily maintained and cared for by women and children. Another important factor is that the risks are less for goat farming (even in drought prone areas) than any other livestock farming. MFCD will embark this project to help the destitute.
