The paper analyzes the state of goat production in the Republic of Serbia, with special emphasis on the general overview of conditions and problems that accompany this branch of animal husbandry with the proposed solutions and recommendations with the aim of increasing the productive capacity of the existing breeds of goats. Goat Serbia is characterized by a negative state, especially strong negative trend over the number of goats. Production of goat milk and meat past few years has stagnated at very low levels. As a small producer of these foods, our country can not meet the needs of its population in them, nor to any one market may not emerge as a serious bidder. For these reasons, imposes itself as a priority in the agricultural policy of our country, the constant application and approval of new incentives in the goat in order to create as many commodity producers of milk and meat, especially of kid meat intended for export. Serbia goat development opportunities exist and are available through the agricultural areas, where special emphasis should be placed on individual farms, their size, and to deal with the goat as the primary production in the highlands, and in some areas and the plains, where land and soil suitable for meadows and pastures. However, evaluation of the potential and benefits is very low, and the prosperity of goats farms not possible without a transformation of the wider economic and social environment.
