Excerpts: As part of the effort to collect information on goat management, NAHMS requested producers who milked any dairy does in the previous 12 months and had five or more dry or in-milk dairy does on September 1, 2019, complete a supplementary dairy questionnaire. This information brief covers the inventory, general management, and kidding management practices on these dairy goat operations. -- Goat milk production in the United States has experienced continuous expansion over the last decade. Specifically, the dairy goat inventory increased by 60.7 percent from 334,754 head in 2007 to 537,799 head in 2017. Furthermore, the number of farms raising dairy goats has grown from 27,481 in 2007 to 35,682 farms in 2017. Management and biosecurity practices are typically more rigorous on dairy goat operations than meat or other goat operations due to the more intensive management required for milk production. Enhanced management and biosecurity practices help ensure milk quality and goat health. Additionally, operation size and location may directly impact production and management of the goats. The location of the operation may change the general requirements of management practices due to weather throughout the year and large operations may choose to implement different management practices to condense labor requirement.
