The annual income from goat farming ranged from $125.00-187.50 with the mean and standard deviation of 163.18 and 38.94, respectively. The goat rearing knowledge score of the respondents ranged from 6-20 with mean and standard deviation of 12.51 and 2.36, respectively. The goats were affected by some diseases such as Peste Des Petits Ruminants (PPR) disease (40.0%), goat pox (28.7%), foot and mouth disease (FMD) (22.0%) and others (9.3%). Most of the respondents (73.3%) called on local doctors and the rests (26.3%) called veterinarians for the treatment of goat’s disease. Most of the respondents (61.3%) provided grass and leaves to feed goats because of its availability in the study areas. Most of the cases, women (80.0%) were involved in goat rearing, followed by men (9.3%), labour (9.3%) and children (1.3%). Majority of the respondents (86.7%) hired bucks for matting while the rests (13.3%) used their own bucks to breed goats. Table 2.

The overall mean was 193.33 ±26.63 days. The mean difference in three Upazila was non significant (P> 0.05). Hassan et al. (2007) reported that the average age at first heat of crossbred and Black Bengal goats were 222.5± 5.5 and 196.5± 7.5 days, respectively which is almost similar with the present findings. The average age at first kidding (days) of goat was found lowest in Rupsa Upazila (340.70 ± 26.38) and highest in Dumuria Upazila 9.3 80.0 1.3 9.4 0.0 13.7 86.3 12.51 10.20 38.94 2.36
