In 12 chapters,on total of 96 pages B5 format,authors: dr Miroslav Žujović, dr Zorica Tomic, dr Dragana Ruzic – Muslic and mr Zorica Nesic have presented a concise, yet detailed problem in goat farming in this country, and at the same time offered a variety of solutions for same. The goat has for decades been not only neglected, but anathematized politically, as it is directly tied to a backward, extensive and opposite to the goals of that time. However, changes in the last decades in our country, as well as increase of attention focused on goat farming development in Europe, and have enabled that this animal species, domesticated thousands of years ago, finally gets its rightful place in our agricultural sector. Simultaneously with new capabilities and needs, there was the problem of the deficit of local expertise and professionals to enable rapid development and compensation of all neglected in this sector. The current foreign literature in a number of cases is useless for our requirements because of their specificity. For this reason, the only right solution can be offered by local experts who have years and decades of professional engagementin this issue, and that the number of scientific papers published at home and abroad, as well as work in the field, in practice, showed and proved as experts in goat farming. The special value of this material, which must be highlighted is the fact that the above-mentioned authors are not engaged in only some segments of these issues, but overall, comprehensive aspect.
