The guideline provides a comprehensive manual for organic goat farming, focusing on sustainable livestock management in rural and mountainous areas. It outlines key requirements for farm setup, including proper site selection, buffer zones, and well-designed housing with adequate space, ventilation, and hygiene systems. Goat breeds should be selected based on local adaptability, health, and productivity, with an emphasis on natural reproduction and avoiding artificial interventions such as hormones or cloning. Feeding practices require 100% organic feed, with at least 50% produced on-farm, and a balanced diet consisting mainly of fresh forage. The use of antibiotics, growth stimulants, and genetically modified inputs is prohibited. Animal welfare is prioritized through proper care, access to outdoor areas, and clean water. The guideline also promotes waste management, record-keeping, and compliance with organic standards (TCVN, PGS), contributing to environmental protection, product quality, and sustainable livelihoods.
