| Sumario: | Objective: Goat therapy is widely used and recognized for the medical benefits. Design: A clinical study. Materials and Methods: We analyzed companion goat ownership on the physical and psychological health of subjects. At the same time, we have stationed the trained therapy goats under a specialist handler. Results: Many of the patients had experience interacting with therapy goats and were interested in and favorable toward interacting with the stationed therapy goats. Conclusions: Contracting lemon producing farmers allows patients regular goat contact at relatively low costs to the institution. In addition, this creates a new economic niche for a number of the lemon producing farmers. |
