Singh, K. | Ram, K. (National Dairy Research Inst., Karnal (India))
The small- (5-9 goats) and medium-size (9-16 goats) flocks were better managed than the large-size (above 16 goats) flocks in the goat breeding areas of Punjab. The capital investment on an average size of flock in hilly region was Rs 8,353 and in the plains region was Rs 10,513. Taking cost A (cash costs and depreciation) into account, a goat keeper could earn about Rs 250 per month from a small-size flock. The net income from the medium- and large-size flocks were Rs 475 and Rs 800 respectively. The net income was much higher in the plains than in the hilly regions
