A five-year, $3.7 million project in Australia, known as Kids+, is making significant strides in enhancing the reproductive performance of does in the goat industry. Led by Professor Louw Hoffman from the University of Queensland, the project has already seen substantial results, highlighting the importance of management strategies such as a shorter joining season to improve fertility rates and herd efficiency. The research has also identified key infrastructure improvements to reduce stress and enhance welfare for both the goats and handlers. Over 15,430 individual goat records have been collected from various production systems, providing valuable insights into the industry's best practices. Despite some challenges like late gestation abortions and losses from predators, the project continues to gather crucial data to further optimize the goat industry.
