Goat raising in a pine forest [Philippines]: a case of a viable agroforestry system.

1987

Penafiel S.R. | Veracion V.P.

Goat integration for cash income in a Benguet pine (Pinus insularis) forest was investigated. A stocking rate of four goats/ha did not cause significant soil loss nor disturbance on soil bulk density, compaction, and infiltration rates. Thinning or reducing crown density of the pine stands increased tree growth as well as forage production. Goat weight gains were impressive, which averaged 99 to 129 g/day. Benguet pine-goat combination shows an ecologically and economically viable farming practice for the forest dwellers.
