  • Goat Raising
OBS

The mandate of the CNGF is to represent all goat producers in Canada and further the viability, expansion and prosperity of the Canadian goat industry, which includes milk, meat and fibre. Unlike most other livestock associations, the CNGF does not have individual producer members. Rather, the other provincial and national goat associations are member organizations of the CNGF.

  • Élevage des chèvres
OBS

Le mandat de la FCNC est de représenter tous les producteurs de chèvres au Canada et de travailler pour la viabilité, l'expansion et la prospérité de l'industrie caprine canadienne qui inclut les trois productions : lait, viande et fibre mohair. Contrairement à la plupart des associations de l'industrie du bétail, la FCNC n'a pas de producteurs individuels membres. Ce sont plutôt les autres organisations provinciales et nationales qui sont membres de la FCNC.

Scientists engineer "spider" goat... Scientists at a Montreal firm have engineered a goat that has a spider's gene to make it produce super-strong spider silk in its milk. Nexia Biotechnologies Inc says production of the silk itself is set to start before the end of this year. When a "spider goat" lactates, the silk protein is extracted from its milk and turned into filament to be spun into fibre. The light but extremely strong material has applications in the medical, aerodynamic and engineering industries.

Le défi des chèvres-araignées [...] La chèvre s'avérant moins chère à l'élevage qu'une vache, Nexia a sélectionné une race particulière (BELE : Breed early lactate early : reproduction précoce lactation précoce) et a fait naître, voilà un an, Webster et Peter, les premières chèvres transgéniques produisant dans leur lait de la soie de trame d'araignée. Les applications vont des dispositifs médicaux de fermetures de plaies aux prothèses des ligaments, en passant par des fibres industrielles et les gilets pare-balles [...]
