The
History of the Domestication of Goats
|
| |
Goats
(Capra hircus) were
among the first domesticated
animals, adapted from the wild
version Capra aegargus.
Beginning about 10,000-11,000 years
ago, Neolithic farmers in the Near
East began keeping small herds of
goats for their milk and meat,
and for their dung for fuel, as well
as for materials for clothing and
building: hair, bone, skin and
sinew.
Today there are more than 300
breeds of goats, and they live
in climates ranging from high
altitude mountains to deserts.
Recent mt DNA research suggests that
all goats today are descended from a
handful of animals and may have been
domesticated in a handful of
different places. Archaeological
data suggest two distinct places of
domestication: the Euphrates river
valley at Nevali Çori, Turkey
(11,000 bp), and the Zagros
Mountains of Iran at Ganj
Dareh (10,000). Other possible sites
of domestication include the Indus
Basin in Pakistan at (Mehrgarh,
9,000 bp) and perhaps central
Anatolia and the southern Levant.
Other important archaeological sites
with evidence for the initial
process of goat domestication
include Cayönü,
Turkey (8500-8000 BC), Tell Abu
Hureyra, Syria (8000-7400 BC),
Jericho, Israel (7500 BC), and Ain
Ghazal, Jordan (7600-7500 BC).

New Delhi:
India on Friday banned the

Avian Influenza," the Directorate General of Foreign
Trade (DGFT) said in a notification.
Livestock and live-stock products, including
domestic and wild birds (excluding poultry and
captive birds), unprocessed meat and meat products
from avian species, wild birds, and the semen of
domestic and wild birds shall not be allowed into
the country, it said.
Imports of live poultry, eggs and their
products, live pigs, pathological material, and
unprocessed feathers from the countries reporting
avian influenza have also been prohibited.
A
case of swine flu has been reported in India.
The
World Health Organization has reported 6,497

Import Procedure Of Livestock in India
|
|
|
|
Imports to India are governed by the
Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act 1992
(External website that opens in a new window).
Under this Act, imports of all goods are free except
for the items regulated by the policy or any other
law in force. The present, foreign trade
arrangements for different commodities are stated in
the
EXIM
Policy of 2004-2009
(External website that opens in a new window).
This policy is announced once every five years with
annual supplements coming out every year. It is also
known as the Foreign Trade Policy or Export Import
Policy.
Items

any animal origin, animal rennet and wild animals
including their parts and products and ivory cannot
be imported. For import of items that appear in the
'Restricted' list you need secure an import license.
Import of items that are enumerated in the canalized
list of items are permitted to be imported through
canalizing Agencies. All other products can be
freely imported.
Registration with a regional licensing authority is
a precondition for the import of goods. Customs
officials will not permit clearance of goods unless
the importer gets an Import Export Code (IEC) number
from the regional licensing authority.

Meat Goats in
Land and Forage Management
By J-M Luginbuhl, J T Green, J P Mueller and M H
Poore |
|
|
ABSTRACT
Goats have been
successfully used for the
biological control of abandoned
farmland pastures invaded by
herbaceous weeds, vines,
multiflora rose bushes and
hardwood saplings. Managed
defoliation with goats results
in a substantial increase in
vegetative cover by favorable
grass and legume species while
reducing or eliminating unwanted
shrub species.
