goat farming

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.
