Constraints facing goat-keepers and ways of addressing them through a participatory aaproach: some experiences from semi-arid India
This document is a progress report on a joint BAIF Development Research Foundation (India)/NRI (National Resources Institute, UK) applied research project that has been seeking to identify and address feed-related constraints affecting goat production in semi-arid India. It summarises the work done and the progress made in Bhilwara, Udaipur (both in Rajastan) and Bhanagar (in Gujarat) from 1997- 99. The three-year project continued until 2000, and was funded by the Livestock Production Programme of DFID (Department for International Development, UK).
