Abstract
Animal-agriculture production is pivotal for food security, economic growth and rural prosperity. In Asian agriculture, the goat is revered as the first animal to be domesticated, and has an important economic and ecological niche. It is very widely distributed, but the preferred environment is the semi-arid to arid agro-ecological zones (AEZs) [1] such as West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region [2], within-country in Rajasthan in India, Baluchistan in Pakistan, Harare in Zimbabwe, Chihuahua and San Louis Portosi in Mexico The value of goats increases in relation to its contributions, capacity to adapt to different rainfed less-favored areas (LFAs), cope with the effects of climate change, and respond to market opportunities and human dietary changes [3].

Goats account for about 36% of the total world population of grazing animals. They can be used as an entry point for the development of rainfed LFAs The high concentrations and the presence about 41.5% of the goat population found in the semi-arid/arid (AEZs) coincide with extreme poverty, the poorest of the poor who live a life of continuing syndrome of poverty-adaptation-fragile lives-little hope- low life expectancy complex Malaysia and Indonesia together have the largest land area of about
