Goat farming: stagnation and development on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Thanks to the great natural abilities of adaptation to the conditions of keeping and feeding, goats are successfully used today in all parts of the world, including arid, subtropical, tropical and mountain regions. Today, around 1 000 000 000 goats are grown worldwide. From the 1980s to the present day, the number of goats in the world has been almost doubled. As an animal species, it successfully submits all production systems. Just before the arrival of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, about 1 500 000 goats were grown in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and just about 500 000 before at the beginning of the Second World War. The tendency of reducing the number of goats was recorded during the Second World War, especially after the war and the adoption of laws prohibiting the keeping of goats. The aim of this paper is to examine the stagnation of goat farming in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which followed the adoption of legal solutions and their prohibition of keeping. According to the mention legal solutions, the keeping of the Balkan goat is prohibited, but it is permissible to keep the highly productive breeds, especially the Sana's goats, under certain conditions. Today in Bosnia and Herzegovina we have between 50 000 and 60 000 goats, which is a small number if we take the importance of this products for human consumption.
