Livestock goats (Capra hircus aegagrus) is a subspecies of wild goat that is naturally spread in Southwest Asia (the "fertile crescent moon" and Turkey) and Europe. Goats are ruminant animals are of medium size. Male and female wild goat has a pair of horns, but horns on goats is greater. Generally, the goat has a beard, the forehead convex, tail slightly upward, and the most hairy straight and coarse. Body length of wild goat, not including the tail, is 1.3 meters - 1.4 meters, while the tail 12 inches - 15 inches. Female weights 50 kilograms - 55 kilograms, while males can reach 120 pounds. Wild goats spread from Spain to the east to India, and from India to the north to Mongolia and Siberia. Preferred habitat is the rocky mountains.
Goat man has cultivated approximately 8000 until 9000 years ago. In its original nature, goats live in groups of 5 to 20 head. In search of food, the goat was led by the oldest female goats, whereas goats contribute to maintain the security of the herd. Time actively looking for dining day or night. Its main food is grass and foliage.
Goats differ from sheep.
breeding
Goat breed with childbirth. Goat could give birth to two to three cubs, after bunting for 150 to 154 days. Adult sex is achieved at the age of four months. Within a year, a goat can give birth up to two times.


The types are in the Goat farm in Indonesia.
1. Goat Bean

Goat goat nuts are a superior race which was first developed in Indonesia. Small body. High gumba in the male 60 centimeters by 65 centimeters, while the females 56 inches. Weights at which males can reach 25 pounds, was a female weighing 20 pounds. His ears were erect, straight and short haired. Both females and males have two short horns.
Local goat nut goat is Indonesia, has a high adaptability to local natural conditions and have very high reproductive power. Goats are both male and female nut is a type of meat goat.



 
characteristics:
1. The body is relatively small goat with the head light and small.
2. short and perpendicular ears pointing up front.
3. generally have a coat color Tungga namely: white, black and brown, and sometimes a mixture of all three.
4. particularly a male and female goat horns.
5. Body weight of adult males can reach 30 kg, and adult females reached 25 kg.
6. have short fur on the entire body, except on the tail and chin, the male goat also grow long hair along the neck, shoulders and backs up the tail and buttocks.


2. Etawa

 
Etawa imported from India called the goat Jamnapari. Great body, a male high gumba 90 centimeters to 127 centimeters and the females only reach 92 centimeters. The weight of the males can reach 91 pounds, while females only reach 63 pounds. His ears were long and droop down. Forehead and convex nose. Both males and females have horns short. Goats of this type capable of producing up to three liters of milk per day. Hybrid offspring (hybrids) Etawa goats with local goats as goats are known as "Peranakan Etawa" or "PE". Goat with Etawa similarly sized but more adaptive to the local environment Indonesia


3. Goat Jawarandu

 
Jawarandu goat is a goat from crosses between Etawa with goat goat nuts. These goats possess characteristics similar half goat and half Etawa like goat nuts. These goats can produce as much as 1.5 liters of milk per day.

Java goat Bligon Randu has another name, Gumbolo, Me and Kacukan. Is the hybrid offspring of a goat with a goat ettawa nuts, beans physical properties are more dominant. Neither male nor female is a type of meat.

4. Saanen Goats



 
Goats originating from Saenen Saenen, Switzerland. Both male and female goats do not possess the horns. Fur color white or pale beige. Nose, ears and black striped colored goat. His forehead was broad, while the ears of medium size and upright. This is a type of goat milk-producing goat.
 
Originating from the western Swiss Saanen valley. Is the largest type of goats in Switzerland. Difficult to develop in the tropics because of its sensitivity to the sun. The characteristics of the ear erect and pointing forward, the dominant white fur, sometimes encountered black spot on nose, ears or udder. Milk production 740 kg / ms lactation.
 
Player in global type of goat is crossed again in premises other types of goats are more resistant to tropical weather, for example with the type etawa.







5. Marica Goat


 




Goats Marica is a local variation of the Goat BeansGoat Marica contained in the province of South Sulawesi is one of the original goat genotypes Indonesia which, according to the FAO report has included the category of rare and endangered species (endargement). Marica area goat population is found in the vicinity of Maros Regency, Regency Jeneponto, district and regional Sopeng Makassar in South Sulawesi Province. Marica goats have a genetic potential that is able to adapt well in the area of ​​dryland agro-ecosystems, where rainfall is very low throughout the year. Marica goats can survive in the dry season even though only eat dried grass in the rocky soil-batu.Ciri the most typical in this goat is relatively small ears and short upright ears of a goat than a peanut. Short and small horns and looked agile and aggressive.
6. Goat Samosir




Based on history these goats maintained the local population for generations on the island of Samosir, in the middle of Lake Toba, Samosir regency, North Sumatra Province. Goat Naidoo was originally used for materials offering ceremony at the event one of the religious cult aninisme (Parmalim) by local residents. Goats have dedicated a stained white, then naturally the local population was selective to raise goats they put the white. Naidoo goat is able to adapt to the conditions of dryland ecosystems and rocky, although in the dry season is usually very hard and dry grass. Conditions island Samosir hilly topography, this goat was able to adapt and breed well.Research on specific existing local goats in the district of North Sumatra Samosir conducted to determine the morphologic characteristics of the body. These observations are carried out directly in the field through the morphologic measurements of the body. The collected data were analyzed descriptively. From the results obtained by morphologic characteristics of the body of an adult goat is the average female weighs approximately 5.27 kg 26.23: 57.61 body length of approximately 5.33 cm shoulder height of approximately 5.28 cm 50.65; high hip 53.22 less than 5.43 cm; in the chest approximately 4.21 28.67 cm and 17.72 chest width approximately 2.13 cm. Based on morphologic body size, that the local specific goat Naidoo is almost the same as the goat nuts in North Sumatera, which differentiates toward the goat bean penotipe the dominant white body color with color observations of 39.18% and 60.82% white body color black and white striped body. From black and white striped color obtained by averaging the color distribution of body surface area of ​​approximately 92.68% 4.23% White and 7.32 approximately 4.11% black. This type of white goat is indispensable for rituals and customs of local cultures (Parmalim). Naidoo goat naming at the moment still locally known as White Goat or Goat Batak. Keywords: morphologic Body, Specific Local Samosir


7.
Goat Estuary



Estuary goat found in the area of ​​Muara District, North Tapanuli in North Sumatra Province. In terms of appearance this goat seems fine, compact body and the distribution of coat color varies from reddish brown coat color, white and colored feathers are also black. The weight of goats Estuary is larger than the nuts and looks prolific goats. Goat Estuary is often also bear two to four sekelahiran (prolific). Although his son was able to live up to four large even without the use of feed additives and extra milk but the child looks healthy enough, not too much different from the appearance of a single child at birth. This is thought to be caused by the production of goat milk is relatively good for the kid needs 4 tails.



8. Goat Costa

 
Location Costa goats spread around Jakarta and Banten Province. This goat was reported to have the body shape, flat nose, and occasionally there is a curved, short horns, short fur. Goats are thought to form a cross derived from goat and goat Khasmir Nuts (goat imports). Observations, it turns the color distribution of goat Costa is dark brown to black. With the highest percentage of black (61%), dark brown (20%), brown (10.2%), brown red (5.8%), and gray (3.4%). Body color pattern generally consists of two colors, and the part which is dominated by white stripes.Costa goats found in Serang, Pandeglang, and around it were also found in small populations in Tangerang and Jakarta.So far the only known as goat nut goat native to Indonesia, but due to the shape and performance resembles Costa Goat Goat Beans, is often difficult to distinguish between Costa with Goat Goat Beans, whereas if there is a carefully observed a significant difference.A distinctive feature is the presence of motifs Costa Goat line parallel to the left and right front, apart from that there is also the hallmark of which is owned by the Costa Goat rewos fur on the back foot on a goat-like fur rewos Ettawa
hybrid (PE), but not long feathers on Goat rewos PE with a rather thick fur texture and smoothness. Costa-shaped body of the goat to the back so it fits and the potential to be a type of meat animals.Currently Costa Goat population continues to shrink, although definitive data for Costa Goat populations are not found, but the estimated population in the province of Banten only hundreds tail alone (500-700 head).
9. Goat Gembrong



Gembrong goat origin of the region, eastern island of Bali, especially in the District of Karangasem. Characteristic of this is a long-haired goat. Feather length approximately 15-25 cm range, even the hair on the head until he covered his face and ears. Long hair found in goats, whereas goats Gembrong female short haired range 2-3 cm. Gembrong dominant body color is generally white goats (61.5%)
in part brown (23.08%) and brown (15.38%). General body color pattern is approximately 69.23% of the colors and the rest consists of two colors and three colors 15.38% 15.38%. The average litter size is 1.25 Gembrong goat. The average birth weight of 2 kg of single and twin two 1.5 kg. Prasapih mortality rate of 20%.Gembrong goat origins can not be ascertained. Some suspect the goat is a cross between a goat Kashmir goat Turkey. This assumption is based on physical characteristics are almost similar to goat goat gembrong.Two types of goats that go to Bali from abroad as a gift for a nobleman Bali. From the intersection of two goats that appear gembrong goats. Goats were grown to breed. However, this story is still confusing. Problem origin of the goat's still requires further research."Goats gembrong very unique. Goats are used to a lot of lives in coastal areas in Karangasem regency. Fishermen often cut a long fur and attached to a hook to catch fish, "said Chairman of the Foundation for Biological Tekno Bali which is also researcher at the Institute for Agricultural Technology (BPTP) Bali Province, Suprio Guntoro.Scientific studies about the "efficacy" goat's hair until he could invite the fish to come is not known exactly. The local fishermen believe, coat hooks were placed close to the inviting glow of fish to arrive.Fish near the hustle and bustle of feathers that would caught the eye of the hook is not far from the goat's hair. Without food, fishermen easily get fish. This method has been known for a long time and is still used by local fishermen.
about the extinction of the goat's increasingly thought to be caused by many things. There are mentions stems from the belief of fishermen who believes that if the goats are often mated with a female goat will cause the fur to fall out.They tried to prevent the goat she-goat to marry remains dense fur. Understandably, they try to get the fur because it's very expensive, even up to Rp 400,000 per kilogram. Of course the fishermen trying to goat hair was still thick."As a result gembrong goat regeneration is very slow, until now lived a little. We have attempted to provide counseling to residents that is not true when frequent mating can result in hair loss, "said Guntoro.Outreach efforts continue to be done, but there are still people who believe in the belief that to complicate the effort to preserve the goat. The conviction was still attached to the goat owner.More and extinction of goats is also economic pressure caused by local fishermen. The fishermen are generally poor with easy to sell the goat to the butcher because of economic pressure. For example when children go to school, they are forced to sell the goat for the schooling of their children.There is also a mention, with dense fur to cover the head, making it easy extinct goat. The reason, this goat difficult to eat due to the eyes and mouth covered with feathers. This difficulty resulted in food is difficult to get into the mouth can not receive adequate nutritional input. Consequently, goats susceptible to disease to death. All these causes may be related to each other more and more aggravating extinction goat. Unwittingly goat is diminishing steadily.EFFORTS to preserve gembrong goats has not been done seriously. From year to year, yet there are those who want to preserve these animals, even the almost forgotten and do not get attention.In the beginning, the Foundation for Biological Tekno Bali who got sponsorship from the Foundation for Biological Diversity (Biodiversity) in 1998-1999 began to conserve. With a fund of Rp 25 million, the foundation bought the goat from the fishermen, then leave him.They are considered to be entitled to its parent, but is obliged to submit hybrid. From these seedlings, the foundation and then left it again to another breeder who is expected to continue to grow until the goat can be sustainable.However, these efforts only lasted two years due to lack of funding to preserve the foundation's goat. Funds from Prudential can only be used for two years.On the other hand, the economic pressure due to certain reasons, the goats were not taken care of properly. In fact, there are also breeders who sell to conservation efforts hampered.In order not getting extinct, Bali Tekno Biodiversity Foundation in cooperation BPTP localize the goat is still a right foundation. A total of seven goats were eventually transferred and maintained in the experimental garden in the village of Bali BPTP Sawe, Jembrana.Of the seven tail it has now begat a 10 tails. Both institutions are now trying to preserve endangered species such as in situ or in their habitats, namely in the District of Karangasem and ex situ or outside their habitat.They also tried to cross with the goat Peranakan ettawah (PE). With the crossover was produced goat gettah aka gembrong ettawah.Currently, there are at least six goats parent Peranakan gembrong ettawah containing seeds. The intersection is one of them performed in the Village Bongancina, District Bungsubiu, Buleleng district. The hope, that goat gembrong not extinct.This preservation effort is far from the expected. Number of goats could still be further reduced if there were no serious effort to preserve it. Moreover, most of the goats that are still alive in the hands of poor farmers or fishermen. There is still much needed assistance and support from all parties to this goat does not vanish.Expect government assistance? It may still be difficult to obtain government assistance for the affairs of this one. The government has not been much attention to problems like this. The government is still busy with the economic and political affairs that has not been completed until now.Who knows there are sponsors who want to help preserve this one goat. Unfortunately when the goat gembrong disappear from the face of the Earth just because we neglect to preserve it.

10.Boer goats


 Boer goats from South Africa and has become the cattle that were registered for more than 65 years. The word "Boer" meaning farmer. The Boer goat is the only true meat in the world because of its rapid growth. These goats can be marketed weigh 35-45 kg at the age of five to six months, with the average body weight between 0.02 to 0.04 kg per day. This will vary depending on the amount of milk from the mother and the daily feed ration. Compared with the local dairy goats, the percentage of meat on the carcass of Boer goat is much higher and reaches 40% - 50% of its body weight
  
.Boers can be recognized easily from a wide body, long, deep, white hair, short legs, convex nose, ears, head reddish brown or light brown to dark brown. Some Boer goats have a white line down his face. His skin is brown, which prevents skin cancer from direct sun. Goats are very fond of basking in the afternoon.
Characteristics of the Boer Males


 
Bodied male Boer sturdy and strong. Broad shoulders and back filled with a muscular butt. Boer goats can live in extreme temperature environments, ranging from very cold temperatures (-25oC) until very hot (43oC) and adaptable to changes in ambient temperature. Resistant to disease. They can live in the area of ​​scrubland, rocky mountain slopes or in the meadow. Naturally they are animals who like to browse so much like the leaves, plant shrubs instead of grass.Boer Goats for the male to be a gentle animal, especially if it continues to be around humans since birth, although it will grow to weights of 120-150 kg in adulthood (age 2-3 years). They like being scratched and rubbed behind his ears, down his back and sides. They can be easily handled by the horns. They can also be trained to be led on a leash. However, you should not push the front of the head as they will become aggressive.Boer male can marry at any month of the year. They are smelly because it attracts the females. An active male can marry at age 7-8 months, but it is suggested that a male does not serve more than 80-10 females until about one year old. Boer adult males (2-3 years) can serve 30-40 females. It is recommended that all males separated from females at age 3 months to prevent unplanned breeding. A male can marry up over 7-8 years.
Characteristics of female Boer goat


 
Boer females as males grow, but it looks very feminine with a slender head and neck. He is very tame and basically not much acting. She can be bred at the age of 10-12 months, depending on her size. Gestation for a goat is 5 months. He was able to give birth to children three times in two years. Females aged one year can produce 1-2 kids. After the first birth, she will usually produce twins, triplets, or quads. Boer mother produces milk with very high fat content enough to disusu children. When children aged 2 ½ - 3 ½ months of the parent began to dry. Boer females have two to four nipples, but sometimes not all of them produce milk. As a non-seasonal breeder, she can be bred again three months after giving birth. Estrus can be detected from the tail moving faster is called "flagging". Boer females capable of being a parent up for 5-8 years. Adult females (2-3 years) will have a weight 80-90 kg. Boer females and males both horns.
Marriage with local Goat
Local goats that are kept in Indonesia comes from various types of dairy goat varieties. If a male Boer goats mated with local, whether naturally or by artificial insemination, the hybrid (F1) which has a 50% Boer is amazing. F1 offspring will bring a strong genetic predisposition of the Boer. The size and growth rate will depend on the size of the local goats used. Depending on the ration pakannya, hybrid males can reach marketable weight 35-45 kg within six to eight months, with an increased amount of meat on the carcass over locally produced goat kids the same age. It is important to understand that protein builds muscle. The use of corn and legume plants and grasses are a source of natural protein that is very good. At the age of one week, the kids should be provided from the same feed as their mothers. Although they are nursing mothers, they will begin to eat vegetation at a very young age. DRINKING WATER AVAILABLE AT ALL TIMES ARE IMPORTANT for both the mother and son.

Goat Boerawa

 Boerawa goat is a goat from crosses between male Boer goat with goat Peranakan Etawah (PE) females. Cattle crossing the two types of goats had been called by the abbreviation of the word Boerawa Boerawa and descent Etawa. This hybrid goats began to grow, and many in Lampung province, especially within the last 3 years, despite efforts to cross between Boer goats with local goats have been made in several other provinces such as North Sumatra and South Sulawesi.The emergence of an effort to develop goat Boerawa in Lampung, is actually based on the price in lower PE goats owned livestock farmer groups Gedong Settings area of ​​South Lampung. During this goat more widely sold as seed with consumers goat breeders from outside the province such as Bengkulu, Jambi, West Sumatra to Aceh, but somehow the last 3 years demand for goat seeds of those locations will be decreasing and many sold by their owners as goat pieces. As the goat cut, the resale value appreciated or valued based on body weight. It certainly detrimental to farmers due to posture goat meat does not have much thicker, but tends to thin and tall. So that the income or the price received by farmers is not worth the perceived quality of the cattle being sold. As the goat seeds, goat prices are relatively higher when compared with the goat pieces. The selling price of the higher seed goat if the quality of cattle that are sold the better.The fall in the price of goats could lead to declining motivation of the group to develop their livestock. But sometimes the question arises, why the price of goat in the region has decreased?. Some things may just be the cause, among other things: -1) area or areas that have been buying goat because the seeds are no longer buying goat was able to produce itself so felt no or less need to bring in other regions of the goat. -2) The quality of goat that is in Gedong Settings unable to compete with other regions, so that consumers prefer to bring in goats from these areas.One effort is solving this problem was to develop and introduce goat meat cut that has a higher production through crossbreeding efforts. Noting the results of research, observations and others (the study of literature, comparative studies), Lampung Province Animal Husbandry Department to try producing Boer goat crosses with PE. The background idea is to get high meat production trait of Boer goats and acquire the appearance of body height and length of the goat, so hopefully obtain a stocky goat but berpostur big and tall. In addition to these aspects, another thing that underlies the use of both types of the goat is the ability to adapt to high environmental aspects.Efforts to develop a hybrid goats received a good response from farmers and from the relevant agencies in the area. Since last 2 years, goat development program carried out in several Boerawa many districts / cities in Lampung. For example Tanggamus District has declared himself as the goat Boerawa.In an effort to improve the productivity of local goats, crosses to produce goat Boerawa be supported and followed up measurably. The point is that with due regard to the rule-technical kaedah breeding goats to obtain a cross that really has a performance and a high genetic value. However cross shape, as a means or method of improving the genetic quality of livestock should refer to the rules of breeding cattle. The hope is to obtain superior genetic quality and avoid harmful things such as the occurrence of inbreeding and so on. It certainly applied in the form of maintenance of good governance, mating systems and selection of the right to establishment of standards / classes Boerawa goat.During this mean Boerawa Boer goat crosses between males with females of PE, whether the restriction should use the female PE PE class or type rambon not yet clearly defined, as well as the use of the term Boerawa. Boerawa designation is intended for livestock during a derivative of males alone, whether derived from the first cross or backcrossnya results. Fore seems necessary efforts are more focused in improving the quality of genetic draft the measure and tersistem. Tersistem meaning here is that there is a kind of blueprint or design pattern or shape of the breeding was going to do, while the observable measurable intended outcome of these efforts with the level of performance or better quality. Coordination and cooperation between several parties may be able to produce a more comprehensive program and applicable (Office of farms, universities, etc.). Design, blueprint or design Boerawa goat development program should be structured with fixed forward the breeding rules, applicable and can be used as a technical reference in Boerawa goat production in the field.Finally, efforts to develop goat Boerawa in Lampung which is the first step in encouraging the development of animal husbandry to farmers should be supported by more leverage, of course, the role of government through the relevant technical department should be more responsive in handling through programs more effective, successful and efficient.
