The purpose of the model is to bring technical livestock farming processes to farmers, implement impact measures to improve breed quality, increase productivity, product quality, improve income and increase productivity. economic efficiency in goat farming; Build typical models applying technical advances in goat farming for people to replicate. The program selects domestic goat breeds that are adapted to local climatic conditions and have high disease resistance to implement the model...

Mr. Dinh Xuan Nam's household in Dong Nghia area, Cu Dong commune, Thanh Son district, is one of 4 households in the commune participating in the model of raising meat-oriented goats with a scale of 10 goats/household.
