Improving goat growth performance is a key objective in modern livestock production, directly influencing economic efficiency and product quality. This study systematically explores feeding strategies that enhance growth performance in goats by integrating nutritional management, feeding practices, genetic improvement, health control, and environmental regulation. The research analyzes critical growth indicators such as weight gain, feed conversion efficiency, and immune status, and evaluates the effects of optimized diet formulation, including balanced roughage-to-concentrate ratios and functional feed additives. In addition, different feeding systems and management approaches are compared to identify optimal practices. The role of genetic selection and marker-assisted breeding in improving growth traits is also discussed. A case study is presented to demonstrate the practical application and effectiveness of these strategies under farm conditions. The findings provide a comprehensive framework for improving goat production efficiency and offer valuable insights for sustainable and scientific goat farming.
