India is no. second in production but where is Australia? Australia is not having even 1% of total goat population but it is main goat meat exporting country. Reason might be its artificially selected and highly productive "BOER GOAT" production. These are meat goats and gain upto 130 to 150kg in 15 to 18 months. As compared to this Indian breed "Sirohi" gain hardly 50 to 60kg in 18 months.
Ultimately, who is consumer?
