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.
