Goats will change plant communities and forest structures and spread diseases to local animals. The expert group of invasive species of the Species Survival Committee of the International Union for Conservation of Nature listed it as one of the top invasive alien species in the world 100.
Goat breeding in China has a long history, which was recorded in writing as early as Xia and Shang Dynasties. More than 1000 years ago, goats were mainly raised in southern China, and then gradually formed a scale.
China is the country with the richest goat variety resources in the world. For thousands of years, through hard work and careful selection, the working people have cultivated nearly 40 goat breeds with excellent quality and unique characteristics, such as black goats.
Over the past 20 years of reform and opening up, China's goat industry has developed rapidly and achieved remarkable results. However, due to the destruction of the ecological environment, in recent years, Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Xinjiang and other major goat producing areas have successively implemented a series of policies to ban grazing and restrict grazing, and summed up a set of ecological sheep raising programs that not only protect the ecological environment, but also promote the development of goat industry, which has made China's goat breeding industry enter a new turning point.
