The goat in relation to New Zealand agriculture : Dissertation submitted concerning Subsection (b) 605 of the Animal Husbandry Section of the Master of Agricultural Science degree

Abstract

Goats were introduced into New Zealand before it was settled by Europeans; for many years they have been present in every land district in the dominion, yet nobody has ever attempted a comprehensive survey of their uses or effects on agricultural production. In this dissertation an attempt will be made to describe the importance of goats in our present farm economy, giving some of their uses and some of their disadvantages.
