Abstract
76 words
This research will evaluate carcass quality and processing
potential of goat meat produced by smallholder farmers in
Malawi. The farmers will keep local Malawi goat and
Norwegian goats under three management systems (intensive,
extensive and semi-intensive). The carcasses from these goats
will be analyzed for gross and chemical composition. They will
also be processed to various products and organoleptic tests
conducted to evaluate preferences. Profitability of commercial
goat production at smallholder level will also be evaluated
