Low capital investment and quick return
Simple and small shed is enough
Profitable under stall fed condition.
High prolific rate of goats
Year around job

Can be sold and encashed anytime

BReeds

Jamunapari

Fairly tall animal
Has a strongly arched Roman nose and long pendulous ears which are about 12 inches long in adult Jamunapari.
Buck weighs about 65-85 kgs and does weighs about 45-60 kgs
one kid per kidding
six months kid weighs about 15 kg
Milk production is about 2-2.5 lit/day.



Tellichery

Goat are in white, brown and black colors
Kidding size is 2-3 kids
Buck weighs about 40-50 kgs and does weighs about 30 kgs



Boer

Rearing for meat all over the world
Has a fast growth rate
Buck weighs about 110-135 kgs and does weighs about 90-100 kgs
Kids weighs about 20-30 kgs at 90 days of age

Feed management
Grazing along with concentrate feeding gives maximum growth rate
Feeding protein rich green fodder such as acacia, leucerne and cassava and are important sources of dietary nitrogen.
Farmers can cultivate agathi, subabul and glaricidia trees along the border of the farm and used as green fodder
Fodders and trees cultivated in one acre of land is enough to feed 15-30 goats

Deworming

Before breeding the doe should be dewormed. Those goats affected with worm infestation are lean and dull
Kids should be dewormed at one month of age. The life cycle of worms is three weeks, so de-worming again at two months of age is recommended
Pregnant does should be dewormed 2-3 weeks before kidding.
Does in early pregnancy (upto 2 months) should not be dewormed to avoid abortion.

Vaccinations

Kids should be given first dose of Enterotoxaemia and Tetanus vaccination at 8 weeks of age and again at 12 weeks of age..
Does should be given Enterotoxaemia and Tetanus vaccination 4-6 weeks before breeding season and 4-6 weeks before kidding.
Bucks should be vaccinated with Enterotoxaemia and Tetanus once in a year
