Typology of Goat (Capra Hircus Linnaeus, 1758) Herders in Kasongo Territory, Maniema Province (DR Congo): Identification of Socio-Economic Profiles and Goat Management Systems
Abstract
The study characterizing the goat farming systems in Kasongo reveals a traditional exploitation structure marked by a strong male predominance and a population of older farmers. The key socio-economic factor determining Herd Size is Household Size (p60% of reported difficulties). In response, farmers adopt risk mitigation strategies, such as housing goats overnight in the Dwelling House.
