What is the name under which goat meat is marketed?

1. Chevon

2. Caprine

3. Mutton

4. Boer

The correct answer is: Chevon

Goat meat is marketed under the name "chevon." This term specifically refers to the meat from goats, distinguishing it from other types of meat. The use of "chevon" in the meat industry helps consumers identify goat meat in markets and is an important part of agricultural education and livestock management. The other options pertain to different types of meat or descriptors. "Caprine" is an adjective used to describe anything related to goats but does not refer specifically to meat. "Mutton" denotes the meat from mature sheep, which is distinctly different from goat meat. "Boer" is a breed of goat known for its meat-producing capabilities but is not the term used to market the meat itself. Understanding these distinctions is essential in livestock judging and meat marketing.
