Abstract
The present review covers the main topics related to goats for the last two years. The main topics were pathology, reproduction, milk and cheese production and quality, production systems, nutrition, hair production, drugs knowledge and meat production. Especially energy use by goats in different conditions and the role of somatic cell count in intramammary infections and milk and cheese quality are discussed. Goat research needs progress rapidly to reach the level of knowledge of other species like cattle or sheep, especially in milk and meat production.Keywords
