ABSTRACT
Data were collected from a total of 41 goat farmers in 26 different villages of Barguna and Patuakhali district of Bangladesh to explore knowledge about the goat husbandry practices. Most of the farmers reared goats in semi-intensive system, took winter care and took bath of their goats in the summer. Main feed item of goats were green grass, tree leaves and main water source was pond though some farmers supplied concentrate to their goats. However, most of goat farmers used vaccine against PPR disease and de-wormed their goats. Majority of goat keepers used village buck to inseminate their does and most of the farmers gave service charge to the buck keepers while most of them did not keep bucks for insemination. Moreover, the study reported that the litter size increased with the increase of parity number of goats.
Key words: Goat husbandry, rearing, feeding, breeding system and southern Bangladesh
