Hi


Goat is the 1st domesticated animal in the ancient age and is a Poor Man's Cow.


Because the goat meat is lean & has low fat, it is liked by all. The demand of goat meat is increasing, even though the price is high.


They are profitable under stall fed condition.


They are Prolific. They give twins & triplets.


Capital Investment of purchase of Goats is very low. For a price of 1 cross-bred Cow, one can purchase 10 quality goats.


Goats & their kids can be sold and encashed anytime. They are like bearer blank cheques.


Goat has shorter period of pregnancy. (Short Gestation Period )


They are resistant to diseases. Since they are stall fed, the expenditure on Medication/ treatment is marginal.


Their population in the country is continuously increasing, though 60% of the goats are slaughtered every year.


Products available from Goats are MUTTON / MILK / MANURE / SKIN & LUSTROUS FINE HAIR.


Cognizable foreign exchange is available from export of live Goats/carcasses/goat meat/skin. The farmer is bringing additional fallow lands under cultivation. Cities & Villages are also expanding fast & because of this the grazing land is decreasing day by day.Therefore a necessity has arisen to continue to maintain the goats by way of Stall Fed System.


Total life of Goats = 15 years...Productive -- 7 years. Pregnancy Period {Total = 150 days } +/- 2 days.


Manure available from 1 adult goat in 24 hours - 1 kg...


Mortality in percentage overall is 3% {with proper management} The vaccination & deworming schedule to be followed strictly.


Indian meat is preferred in the world.

Goat Farming in Madurai

Dear Gunalan

Am also hailing from madurai.
But goat farming establishment would be a easy practice if you are equipped with sufficient money , infrastructure setup only a challenging factor is the maintenance of the farm house & continuous follow-up visits on daily basis would help you this idea makes profitable.

to my opinion please try to have 'dedicated workforce' atleast 1 or 2 members
to takecare your farming is more important.

All the best.

For madurai

It is good to start with 19 female + 1 male goat.
The female goat suitable for Madurai region may be tellichery, jamunabari or wild types temperature resistant breeds like kanni adu, kodi adu
The male may be Boer or tellichery or jamunabari.
The stall plat form may be atleast one meter above ground level
Wooden platforms with thatched shed is suitable choice (since Madurai is a hot place thatched roof will nullify the heat effects)
It is necessary to establi CO-4 grass intercropped with agathi and subabul. Buy a feed cutter to prevent feed loss.
Initially buy the concentrate mix feed from commercial and later may try to prepare your self.

To establish 19+1 or 18+2 unit approximate animal cost will be 1,00000
the shed, fodder growing cost will be 50000-100000.
Floating cost required for one year will be minimum 50000.
After one year you will enjoy profits.
It is inevitable to take intensive management for atleast one year. Don't fully depent on skilled labour.

best breeding goat

Dear brnv ,
Osmanabadi goat breed is best coz, it gets easily adaptable to any climatic conditions.Starting a goat farm with osmanabadi goat breed is highly viable and most profitable as compare to other breeds.The main reason for this are-
1.High resistant power against diseases,so mortality rate is low as compare to other breed.
2.High yielding capacity of milk and kids.
3.Higher palatability of meat,with high protein content.
4.Eats any farm fodder
5.Cost of goat is low as compare to other breed like boer,sirohi,jamnapari etc.So its affordable breed.
6.No problem in marketing,as it has very high demand for meat and breeding purpose.
Regards,
DR.Shaikh
