Organic goat production can improve animal welfare,
protect the environment, and sustain rewarding rural
lifestyles. Traditional and alternative medicine holds the
promise for alternative prevention and treatment of animal
diseases. The future of organic goat production is to continue
searching for alternatives that are environmentally
friendly, human health conscientious and animal considerate.
Understanding organic goat farming from economic,
ecological, and animal welfare perspectives will increase
the likelihood of success. Organic goat production will have
to strive for a more sustainable system than the conventional
one, offsetting the increased costs of organic goat
production by higher product prices, and certified organic
goat products that are healthier than those conventionally
produced.
