Abstract：Guangxi Black Goat,a representative local livestock in South China,is characterized by a medium-sized build,well-proportioned conformation,and glossy fur that is predominantly black,mostly black,with occasional white,yellow,or mixed coloration.It is recognized as a green breed due to its tolerance for coarse forage,strong adaptability,tender meat,and low mutton odor.These traits contribute to its high consumer acceptance and its role as a significant source of income for farmers in the mountainous northwest regions of Guangxi.However,low winter temperatures considerably affect its production performance.Enhancing winter feeding management is therefore essential to effectively mitigate weight loss,miscarriage,and mortality,thereby ensuring healthy flock growth of and improving reproductive efficiency and breeding profitability.Using Green World Farm in Wuming,Guangxi,as a case study,this article details key precautions and management strategies for overwintering black goats,focusing on four aspects:implementing cold protection and warmth measures,ensuring regular ventilation,maintaining adequate feed nutrition,and optimizing herd management.The objective is to provide scientific guidance for the local black goat breeding industry.
