The Black Bengal is a type of goat found in various regions including Bangladesh, West Bengal, Assam, and Odisha.[1] These goats typically have black fur, although they can also be brown, white, or gray. The Black Bengal goat is small in size but its body structure is tight. Its horns are small and legs are short. An adult male goat weights about 25 to 30 kg and female 20 to 25 kg. It is poor in milk production. It is very popular in Bangladesh because of its low demand for feed and high kid production rate.[citation needed] The Black Bengal goats gain sexual maturity at earlier age than most other breeds. The female goat becomes pregnant twice a year and gives birth to one to three kids.[2] This breed can adapt to any environment easily and its disease resistance is very high.
It produces high-quality meat and skin, and is preferred for the skin and high proliferation rate.[3]
This breed plays a very important role in reducing unemployment and poverty from Bangladesh.[4] They can eat most vegetables, grasses and leaves, but a high amount of carrots is fatal to them.
