Default Ruminant Farming

Guys,
It's indeed nice to know that there are so many qulaified young people interested in adopting farming as their occupation. This is something which can fulfill Hon. Dr. A.P.J. Abdulkalam's dream of a true modern India.
I agree to a great extent with Lucky's views and that he has seen an opportunity for farming (dairy and goat meat) in India. I am in the field of animal nutrition specialising in ruminants and have worked with farmers and scientists from various parts of the world. Our company is the global leader in forage based feeding management and that has worked for countries like Denmark, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada (the home country of Holsteins), South Africa, Ireland, UK, France, Germany, Poland. I intend to bring this technology to India as milk is the biggest agricultural produce of India although done mostly with primitive techniques.
I am looking for progressive farmers who are keen on innovation in the farming techniques. We have tested the technology at Penn State Univ, Univ of Illinois and Reading University in UK and also is field proven in our markets listed above.
Guys, if any one of you is interested in knowing more about this please do contact me with your phone/mobile number and I will be very happy to talk to you.
Also, my knowledge in the field of nutrition and feed management will be helpful to you in setting up a professionally managed farm in India.
We have developed a technology that does not use chemicals to boost the performance of milch animals and thus reduce the greenhouse emissions in the production of milk and meat.
Also with the prices of maize/corn soaring with the rise in oil prices, we have better solutions to manage the costs at the farm level and increasing the output at the same time. This means higher incomes for farmers.
I am also interested in setting up a farm with a combination of Holstein and Murrah buffaloes or even Mehsana (as my technology will give higher yield) in India on a land that can grow grass and has water available.
This technology addresses many issues at various levels and has solutions to most problems throughout the value chain of milk and meat production.
Please do get in touch with me

Regards,

Prashant Kotwal.

All product will come with same brand name. also our own marketing. Here people from different part of Tamilnadu, All the place will be the same brand name. our purchasing of raw material and marketing will be centralised. Even city we are looking outlet with cluster. all same model with our brand products. All follows Standard Operating Procedure with Modern slaughter house. we can avoid middle people in this filed.


Also we chance slaughtering what they are praticing now in the market.

Dear Unitedfarm,
I am Prashant, basically from India now settled in Ireland and working closely with the farming industry in Europe, Australia, NewZealand, South Africa, USA and Canada.
We have a technology that significantly improves the conversion of feed into milk or meat.
We do this my optimising animal intake of mechanical fibre in balanced rations. More feed nutrients go into the production of meat and less going to excretions of waste materials and gases to the environment.
This technology has led to up to 30% increase in yield for the farmers in the agriculturally developed countries and I am of the opinion that it could be more in the Indian conditions where many things need to be done.
Also we provide nutrition consultancy services headed by Prof. David Beever, formerly head of animal science at the Centre for Dairy Research Reading University in England.
Our team had discussions with a few eminent scientists in the field of agriculture and dairy farming in India and we all are of the opinion that Indian farmers need to adopt proper feed management techniques for a sustainable growth in the future. Otherwise China is all set to take over India in farming - Dairy, Beef, Mutton, Goat Meat, Pork.

If I can get your phone number or any other contact details, I will be interested in discussing with you a unique business opportunity in the field of farming that is highly profitable and beneficial for your entire potential cluster.
Also, having closely observed the setting up and commissioning of farms in Australia, Ireland, UK, France, Israel and the USA, there are many other things that I have to offer to the Indian farmers.

It would be a good opportunity to start with a farm consultancy along with a high tech farm in India and also sell Keenan technology to the farmers.

Awaiting your response.

Regards,

Prashant Kotwal.

Dear Prashant Kotwal,
I read your message to Unitedfarm and interested to know whether your services are available to other farmers in goat/sheep farming. If yes, please let me know the details on 'feed management techniques' etc.
Thanks

I have Immense Interest for going for the commercial goat farm and a dairy farm in INDIA, hyderabad in a very near future.

Right now i am in USA , getting some ideas and lessons reg, i have visited some of the goat farms in USA, they prosper collectively, and are able to control the meat-market because they have their association, and many of their problems and hardships are solved very easily coz, they help each other, hence they all prosper and do good progress,they share the breedings of real 100% BOAR GOATS & many other rear-species etc.

WE can read many of the problems of our friends here in this forum, have problems of marketting goats (IN A COUNTYR LIKE INDIA,where we have full demand of goatmeat and the population of human is the 2nd highest in the world),in- availability of good vets,healthy food and fodder etc x etc.
our markets r controlled by middlemen, we should try to elliminate those blood-suckers(DALLALS),which is a very-old idea TO BENEFITT THE MIDDLEMAN / BUTCHERS, AND THE POOR FARMER IS JUST POOR.

I would like to request all, who r already indulged in goat-farmings,please do not sell your goats per piece . sell them according to their weight which will benefit you all.Change the old-practice which benefitted the dallals and the butchers,.
The main benefitts should be to the actual farmers,who puts all his efforts in this goats, which will not harm to the consumers,but the real-profits will be in the pockets of the ultimate farmers,and NOT with middleman & butchers.
thank you. keep in touch. tc
Dear Lucky sir ,
iam appreciating your views .we implement your views allready but we cant make more change in industry its important to frame an organization operated by same industry enterprenurs jsut like employee unians .
why cant we people farm an unian to change present scnario.
Thais is the itrface to inform all interested guys ,.
it will develop best industrial relations and best practices while we can change present schnario obsolutely .

Regards
Eswar
