Boer goats were first entered around 2004 at the Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Brawijaya

University, Malang, East Java. The first Boer goat in Indonesia was imported from an Australian

breeder association. Boer Goat Characteristics Boer goats are superior meat goats with fast

growth. This goat at the age of five to six months can reach a weight of 35-45 kg, with

an average body weight gain of 0.02 to 0.04 kg per day. Boer goat body weight development

depends on the amount of milk from the mother and the daily feed ration. Boer goats can

be easily recognized by their broad, stocky, long body, white hair, short legs, convex

nose, long hanging ears, reddish brown or light brown to dark brown heads. Some boer

goats have a white stripe down their face. His skin is brown which protects him from

skin cancer due to direct sunlight. This goat really likes to bask in the daytime. Boer

goats can live in extreme environmental temperatures, ranging from very cold temperatures (-25 degrees

Celsius) to very hot (43 degrees Celsius) and easily adapt to changes in environmental

temperatures and have good resistance to disease. They can live in bush areas, rocky mountain

slopes or in grasslands. By nature they are animals who like to browse (browsing) so they

prefer leaves, bush plants than grass. Male Boer goats will grow to a weight of 120-150

kg when they are around 2-3 years old, while adult females (2-3 years old) will weigh 80-90

kg. Both female and male Boers have horns. Compared to local dairy goats, the percentage

of meat in the boer goat carcass is much higher and reaches 40% – 50% of its body weight.

Male Boer Goat The male Boer is sturdy and strong. The shoulders are broad and the back

is filled with a muscular buttocks. Male Boers can mate at any month of the year. They have

a strong smell because this is to attract females. A male can actively mate at 7-8 months

of age, but it is recommended that one male does not serve more than 8-10 females until

the male is about one year old. Adult male Boer (2 – 3 years) can serve 30 – 40 females.

It is recommended that all males be separated from females at the age of 3 months to avoid

unplanned mating. A male can mate for up to 7-8 years. Female Boer Goat The female Boer

grows like the male, but has a slender head and neck. He is very docile and basically

doesn't act much. It can be bred at the age of 10-12 months, depending on the size of

the body. Pregnancy for goats is 5 months. She is able to give birth to cubs three times

in two years. One year old female can produce 1-2 children. After the first child, he will

usually give birth to twins, triplets, or even four. The mother Boer produces milk with

a very high fat content which is sufficient for her offspring to suckle. When the cubs

are 2½ – 3½ months old, the mother starts to dry out. Boer females have from two to

four nipples, but sometimes not all of them produce milk. As cattle whose mating is not

seasonal, it can be bred again three months after giving birth. The lust can be detected

from the tail that moves quickly called "flagging". Boer females are able to become parents for

up to 5-8 years. The Secret to Success of Australian Boer Goat Farmers. Australia has

managed to control 50% of the global goat meat export market. The character of their

superior goat meat, managed to dominate the domestic market as well as the international

market and succeeded in exporting it everywhere. The development of the Boer goat in Australia

is very rapid. The number of Boer goats in Australia continues to increase as farmers

and herders turn to goat meat production as a lucrative alternative. Of course, Australia's

success deserves attention, who knows local farmers in Indonesia can imitate Australia's

strategy. The key to the success of a boer goat farming business in Australia lies in

good breeding and management of goat farming. In Australia there are various associations

of boer goat breeders whose aim is to monitor goat development and to promote the breed

and characteristics of superior meat production in domestic and international markets. In

addition to the breeder association, in Australia there is also a breeding company that functions

to produce certified boer goat breeds with superior characteristics. Breeding and good

aquaculture management are the keys to successful boer goat farming in Australia, farmers/breeders

master aquaculture management which is supported by advances in technology and advances in

research results. Boer goat breeders in Australia generally keep goats openly or free range

in pastoral areas. Goats are released in the wild in the pasture and rotated regularly

while still paying attention to the principles of animal welfare. The goat's need for a decent

place to live is met. The need for feed and drinking water for goats is fulfilled. Boer

goat care and health is also considered. Feed is the main element supporting success in

the management of boer goat cultivation. Australian breeders are very concerned about the nutritional

adequacy of the goats they raise. The basic nutrition of livestock is met from feed in

the form of forage and concentrates. Forage as a source of energy and a source of crude

protein is obtained from plants in the area around the pastoral. Includes grasses, trees,

seeds, legumes and shrubs. Nutritional needs that are not fulfilled from forage feed are

supplemented with additional feed in the form of concentrate. Concentrated feed is divided

into concentrate feed as energy source in the form of pollard, corn flour, barley and

wheat, and feed with degraded nitrogen source in the form of urea as a stimulant for rumen

microbial growth. Concentrated protein source for meat formation and milk lactation consisting

of cottonseed, copra, canola, soybean, whole cottonseed, lupine plant, green beans, and

chickpeas. Concentrated source of vitamins and mineral sources. Concentrated feed sources

of vitamins and minerals are provided to prevent livestock from experiencing vitamin and mineral

deficiencies, especially for boer goats kept in cages. Good breeding, aquaculture management

supported by modern technology and the latest research results have made Australian boer

goat farming so developed and rapidly growing that it has succeeded in dominating the global

market. Well, that's the way Australian boer goat breeders take care of their livestock.
