household.
Of all the places their goats have
ended up, the Smiths are
especially proud of the ones that
went to Panama recently.
All the factors that make goats
attrractive in this country are
doubly important in a developing

grow in great profusion in this
tropical republic, but a lack of
animal protein in the diet has led to
malnutrition and a high infant
mortality rate. This is especially
true in the rural areas, where
many households are headed by
women.
There’s no grain to feed chickens
in Panama, but a goat can live
nicely on the grass that grows

freely. Goats are small enough to
be handled easily by women and
children, are inexpensive to start
and maintain, and they can
provide a continuing source of
protein in the diet even if people
don’t have refrigeration.
The Smiths donated two of their
finest kids to Panama two years
ago at the suggestion of Delaware
Extension dairy specialist George
Haenlein. Haenlein is involved in
the Partners of the Americas
program, in which Delaware, as
Panama’s partner state, takes
part in a continuing educational
and cultural exchange designed to
help improve the nutrition of the
developing nation.
While other University of
Delaware faculty members are
working with rabbits and various
types of plants and , seafood as
improvement of the Panamanians’
diet, Haenlein is concentrating on
goats and cows.
For the last years the
Smiths’ two donated kids have
been under Haenlein’s care at the
University of Delaware Ex
perimental Farm, waiting for
Panamanian officials to come for
them and take them to their new
home. Although the wait was long,
the goats didn’t waste the time. In
the interim, the twosome became a
threesome.
It takes more than a group of
healthy animals to start a goat
enterprise in Panama. It takes
know-how as well. Three
Panamanian officials arrived at
the University of Delaware
recently: director of the
Panamanian goat project, Thomas
Bendiburg;. Dr. J. Medrano, a
veterinarian; and Mr. A. Gomez, a
dairyman.
The Panamanian’s did not just
pick up the goats to take them
home. Haenlein led them on an
intensive tour of dairy goat farms
and goat cheese factories in

Delaware, Maryland, Penn
sylvania and Virginia. They
viewed slides and films about goat
breeding and management, and
they planned a follow-up seminar
for'- agriculture teachers, Future
Farmers, and others in their own
country who could spread this
information to the rural poor.
Haenlein was asked to return to
Panama in October to lead the
seminar, which will be held
through the auspices of file Agency
for International Development and
the Partners of the Americas
Program.
Bendiburg noted that wild goats
can be found on islands off the
West Coast, descendants of
animals who were brought to the
area and later abandoned by
Spanish settlers who required
goats’ milk for disease prevention
during long ocean voyages.
These animals could provide, a
base for a goat industry in
Panama, but they would need
genetic upgrading by cross
breeding with U.S. proven stock.
Such stock was donated by the
Smiths and their friends David and
Mildred Perrine of Clayton,
Delaware.
Through their generous gifts, the
Panamanian people can anticipate
a healthier, more self-sufficient
future.
