Low feed consumption caused a decrease in MCH in Kacang goats, but it was not significant (P>0.05). In conclusion, when evaluated in terms of animal welfare, the results of the current study may indicate that Kacang goats had a high ability to manage restricted feeding.

Similarly, risk of floods has increased because of the change in climate. The foremost reason of this increase in risk of floods has been attributed to increase in rainfall intensity and snow and glacier melt. However, dry periods has increased by 2-3 weeks according to majority of the res...
