West African Dwarf Goat

The West African Dwarf  goat is to Southeastern Nigeria and is raised by many families under small-scale and intensive management systems. Results showed that the average households kept 6 goats, but that expansion was limited by labour and feed procurement problems. Both males females owned goats but males dominated goat marketing. Women have recently become goat meat retailer. Although the prospects for large-scale goat production appeared bleak, those for women producers integrating vertically forward into marketing appeared favourable.

The Maradi goat had a greater variation in its liveweight than the West African' dwarf goat. The mean weekly gain in the liveweight of goats was 0.18±02 dry season and 0.26±0.05 kg in the wet season. Liveweight changes were greater in yearling Yankasa sheep reared in this part of the Southwestern Nigeria than in older ones; these differences were significantly greater in the dry than in the wet season.
