Background of the Study
Small ruminants form an important economic and ecological niche in agricultural
systems throughout the developing countries. Their current contribution is not
commensurate with the potential capacity for higher levels of production. The context for
productivity enhancement and increased socioeconomic contribution relates to large
population size, wide distribution across various agro-ecological zones and production
systems and diversity of breeds.
Goats (Capra hircus) have gone a long way from just a poor man’s cow. These
animals proved to be more than just four-legged mammals that generate milk and meat.
They survive in almost any kind of environment that’s dry and where resources are
available. However, raising goat, expects several problems like malnutrition, lack of
nutrients of goats because of the wrong nutrient content they take. That’s why the
Chevon meat is weakling in Philippines.
Eating healthy has become an important issue for marketing to the general consumer.
Goat meat has an excellent, distinctly sweet flavor somewhat similar to beef and venison. The
meat is lean with very limited fat marbling. It has less fat than chicken or any of the red meats
commonly consumed in the United States.[1] Goats tend to deposit their fat internally before they
deposit it externally and in the slaughtering process, this internal fat is removed along with the
rest of the internal organs. A well conditioned goat will have a thin coating of fat over its muscles
that helps keep the meat moist.
