The low investment cost, the preference of milk by consumers and in ice cream making, the better use of dry and rocky areas distinguish goats from other farm animals. There are domestic goat breeds in our country, the majority of which are hair goats that have adapted to different regions. Although some of their behaviors are similar to sheep behaviors, goats want to be left alone and managed in a quiet way because they are animals that are fond of freedom.
Goats are more sensitive to cold and rainfall than sheep due to the weakness of subcutaneous fat tissue and the hair covering the body.
However, mohair is protective against cold and precipitation in Ankara Goats. After forty, sensitivity to cold and precipitation with wind increases.
Since the ability of goats to form a herd is weaker than sheep and cattle, they tend to graze over a larger area in the pasture.
Food intake accounts for about 1/3 of the goat's daily activities. Although the goat takes feed faster than the sheep, it grazes for longer than the sheep because it is very mobile and selective.

Since goats can walk 14-15 km a day in the pasture, they may encounter a lot of plant varieties.
Since goats weigh about 1/12 of the average live weight of cattle, our country can move more comfortably in meadow-pasture areas.
Compared to cultured cattle, the fertile lifespan of goats is longer, the gestation period is shorter, and the reproductive yield is much higher.
The reproduction of grasses suitable for the region that animals love to consume, with adaptation ability and high feed value in meadows and pastures should be the priority work of animal owners / shepherds. For example, forage plants such as Mountain Sainfoin, which has been adapted for centuries in the Central Anatolian region, drought resistant and high feed value, should be spread in meadows. In the planning of the corral, two main points should be focused on, first of all, the welfare and health of the goats, and then labor saving. Choosing the place to make a goat corral; Road, water and electricity supply, Proximity to pasture, Proximity to service transportation, Topography (such as slope, being closed to cold winds in Jul winter) Drainage, flood, avalanche, landslide hazard, Wild animal attack, Fire protection.

Parameters such as the growth potential of the business in the coming years should be taken into account.Shelters should be installed on slightly high and sloping areas according to the environment.It should not be built on flat areas that are difficult to drain, near drinking water sources or in places with high ground water and stream beds. Floor water creates high flat areas or flattened places, especially suitable living spaces for flies, as well as increases the accumulation of dirty air, further raising the humidity in the shelter.The place where the corral will be built should be sheltered from the north winds and open to the summer winds.In order to benefit from the heating and drying properties of the sun, the open direction of the corral should face south, south-east or east, while the north side should be closed. In order to obtain high-quality goat milk under hygienic conditions;Rancid, moldy, spoiled feeds should not be used, as they may pose a risk to the animal's health, as well as impair the bacteriological quality, aroma and odor of milk.

Adequate underlay and ventilation should be provided so that methane, ammonia, carbon dioxide and other harmful gases are not present in the milking environment.
In order for the odors in the environment not to pass into the milk, milking should be done outdoors if possible.
Mastitis or sick animals in the herd should be milked last.
When milking, a strainer should be placed in the milk bucket to prevent the mixing of feces, stalks, straw, dust, soil, feathers, hairs.
Milkers should use clean aprons only to wear during milking and should not carry pathogenic bacteria that cause diseases in animals.Jul.
During milking, attention should be paid to breast cleaning of animals, nipples should be immersed in nipple immersion solutions if possible.

Milking containers should be suitable for the purpose, they should be washed thoroughly after milking, their mouths should be closed.
Milk should not be kept in the corral after milking.
It is possible to maintain the quality of the milked milk when it comes out of the breast and to prevent its deterioration to some extent by slowing down the growth of microorganisms by cooling it as soon as possible.
In cases where there is no cooling tank, the simplest process is to cool the milk with low-grade water. For this process, milk can be placed in cold water pools with lumps or ice batteries can be used for this purpose.
As can be seen in the graph below; even cooling raw milk by a few degrees has a serious impact on its quality.

Motherless (Artificial) Augmentation
Motherless augmentation is widely used, especially in countries where capricorn yield is high, while goat milk is valued at a high price.
In parallel with the development of dairy goat farming in Turkey, motherless augmentation may come into play when raising capricorns.
In motherless rearing, Capricorns are separated from their mothers as soon as they are born and breastfed by hand with special bottles or buckets with special pacifiers. In this augmentation method, the nutritional requirements of capricorns are met with mother's milk or special foods of the same nutritional value and called "artificial milk". The points to be noted in this method are;
As soon as Capricorns are born, they should definitely get high-quality colostrum as soon as possible,
Capricorns should not go hungry,
Deckh Jul should be well ventilated, Corral temperature should be kept between 12-18 °C, A clean and dry environment should be provided. The corral should be well ventilated, The corral temperature should be kept between 12-18 °C.
