Background and Objective: Local farmers in Indonesia predominantly raise these goats to support their income, earn savings and improve their livelihoods, this can come from the sale of goats, kids, meat, milk and solid and liquid fertilizers. This study aimed to quantify the tangible benefits of solid and liquid fertilizers from Etawah crossbred goat manure and determine the influencing factors at the village-breeding centre of Etawah crossbred goat in Samigaluh District, Kulon Progo Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Materials and Methods: A total of 100 respondents were purposively selected from the two major livestock groups of Akursari and Agung Menoreh in Ngargosari Village and Pagerharjo Village, respectively and directly interviewed using questionnaires. Tangible benefits were studied using descriptive quantitative analysis and influencing factors were examined using multiple linear regression (MLR). Results: The average goat ownership of 12.81±7.58 heads (1.40±0.83 Animal Unit) produced 4.375 kg/day of faeces and 8.75 L/day of urine. Waste utilization generated an income of IDR 1,122,088/month including IDR 278,608 (24.83%) from solid fertilizer and IDR 843,480 (75.17%) from liquid fertilizer. A significant difference was observed between goat ownership and household members (p<0.01). Tangible benefits were significantly affected (p<0.05) by dummy non-formal education and dummy job. Conclusion: In summary, goat manure utilization is an opportunity to improve farmers’ income.
