| Abstract: | In Burundi, the number of goats is high, with an estimate of 3.2 million heads, against 3.4 million for poultry, 1.1 for cattle, 0.8 for pigs, and 0.5 for sheep (MINAGRI, 2017). It is expected that this number will continue to increase as it tends to follow the growth of the human population. Indeed, in the 50 least developed countries, the annual growth rates of goat and human populations are 2.6% and 2.4%, respectively (Devendra, 2010). Goat production systems can be classified into three categories, as follows: extensive systems, intensive systems, and systems integrated with crops. Goats under extensive systems in semi-arid and arid areas move in search of feed and water under pastoralists in nomadic and transhumance fashions (Devendra, 1999). Goats are raised in common property grazing marginal lands and forest margins. Boer goat is considered to be one of the best goats for meat production. It has gained worldwide popularity during the last two/decades in Australia New Zealand, the USA, and Africa (Bowman, 2012). Boer goats are known to have a higher growth rate than other breeds of goats. The factors that affect reproductive performance include; feeding, nutrition, housing, diseases, and intersex association. According to the FAO report (1998), the most important diseases of goats included helminthiasis, trypanosomosis, and small ruminant pests, contagious caprine pleuro-pneumonia, mange, abortion, metritis, mastitis, stillbirth, broncho-pneumonia, caseous lymphadenitis, contagious exanthema, and enteritis. Helminthiasis in small ruminants is of considerable importance in Africa as it leads to mortality, reduced weight gain, and other production losses. The type and impact of disease on production vary with the level of management where some animals are raised under a cut and carry system of management and are housed in a better shelter, get more or less balanced nutrition and better health care for them to achieve higher productivity. In this study effects of management factors on reproduction ranged from reproductive wastage, reduced feed intake, morbidity, and mortality to the production of infertile female goats. |
