Conteúdo: | Abstract: Short notice given only substantially as follows: Mohair is the primary product of Angora goat enterprises and receives the major consideration in management decisions. The mutually beneficial relationship between the goat and its habitat, goat meat and hides and the advantage of enterprise diversity are also important considerations. However, volatile mohair markets may vary more than 1000 percent, causing periods of unprofitability for producers. Angora goat numbers are declining and meat goat numbers are increasing in Texas as a result of low and variable mohair prices and increasing demand for goat meat in the United States. Data were gathered from ongoing studies and published reports to develop a computer enhanced decision aid to projects opportunities to maintain the genetic pool in the Texas Angora goat population while capitalizing on the increased demand for goat meat.
