 At present, Cao Duong commune is home to about 106 goat raising households with a total of nearly 1,300 head. The breeders are seen in all villages but mostly in QuenThi village, with 15 households. Among well-known goat breeders are Ha Van Dan and Bui DinhChien in QuenThi village, Nguyen Van Tai and Bach Van Thin in Om Lang village.


Bui DinhChien (QuenThi village) said that goat breeders must pay attention to the animal’s characteristics. As goats like dryness and tidiness, their shelters should be built in high, dry and cool places. Breeders must apply scientific and technological advances in all stages, from shelter making to supervision and management of goat herbs. To have healthy goat herbs, the first thing is to select good breeding animals and clean up shelters regularly. Especially, feed for goats must be kept dry to prevent themfrom getting stomachache. Goats have high resistance so breeders only need to regularly worm and vaccinate them against communicable diseases.

The goat consumption market is relatively stable. In some times, many households had no goats for sale due to huge demand. With the application of caring techniques and grasping of market demand, goat farming is bringing in high economic efficiency, contributing to improving living conditions of people in Cao Duong commune.

Bui Minh Bien, Chairman of the communal People’s Committee, said that to develop and expand the goat farming, the committee has organised training courses on a model toimprove local goat herbs using capital sources from the agro-forestry promotion agency of Luong Son district. The commune implementsa policy that the State pays 80 percent of money for purchasingmale goats while the remaining 20 percent is covered by the breeder. In addition, it has also held training courses on goat farming techniques, attracting more than 200 participants./.
