• Sommario/riassunto: In this book, the authors present topical research in the study of the habitat, breeding and management of goats. Topics include the production and commercialization of goat milk and cheese in Northwest Argentina; infectious causes of abortion in goats; the oral environment and diet choices in goats; acute phase proteins as biomarkers of mastitis in dairy goats; and the influence of feeding goats with thyme and rosemary extracts on the physicochemical and sensory quality of cheese and pasteurized milk.
