Abstract: This study provided information on housing, feeds and feeding management, mating system and healthcare management of Black Bengal goats at rural villages of Mymensingh sadar upazila under Mymensingh district in Bangladesh. All farmers reared goats in semi-intensive system and most of them had goat house, provided bedding materials at winter season. Most of the farmers took bath of their goats at summer but a few of them did the same in winter season. Most of the farmers used concentrate feed with green grass and supplied water once in a day in particular waterer. Major sources of drinking water for goats were tube well and during rainy season most of the farmers grazed their goats. Farmers supplied little bit more grass and  tree leaves to their lactating does than that of pregnant does while they supplied more amount of concentrates feed to their pregnant does than that of lactating does. Birth and weaning weight were higher in male kids than female kids. Few farmers vaccinated their goats. Farmers did not keep breeding buck and they did not use artificial insemination (AI) for their does. Spouses were the main contributor in goat keeping. Above discussions might be indicative that farmers were more careful about housing, feeding but less careful about health care and breeding buck keeping issues.
Key words: Black Bengal goat, feeds and feeding and breeding buck keeping
