1. Choosing your goat breeds:

Depending on your motive of goat farming you must choose the right goat breeds for your farm.
Typically, peoples are raising goats for the following reasons. For the purpose of Starting farming
which based on Goat or Sheep first and foremost important things are to selection process and
methods in different stages.

NOW,

Why do you like to raise goats?

After selecting your reason. Go to the nearest government livestock association to get information
about profitable goats breeds.

Raising goat for milk,

Raising goat for meat,

Raising goat for hair,

Raising goat for sale as pets.

It’s really quite important especially for beginners who want to start initially and farmers should select
bulky type goat. So after observing some information Boer goat is ideal for any farmers. It’s actually
originated from South Africa but in India, it can be found. At the first level, 2 goat is enough for 100
female goats. A male goat has to be 105 Kg and most important part this type of Goat has produced
huge meat which much more profitable compared with another type of goat.

However, after observing all the circumstance Boer goat is quite well for those farmers who want to
start farming of goat and pure blood is also available in the Asian country. Nigerian Dwarf goat can be
a good selection for you,
Depending on the above criteria there are a variety of breeds exist. We will discuss this later in our
articles.

2. Choosing a location:

As goats usually love to grow within a group, space and location selection for goat farming should be
on top of your list. Goats will get significant benefits from open spaces where they will have the ability
to roam around so make sure that you will choose that space with the above facility.

If you chose an area far away from the city it will help your goats to not affected by pollution. Also, you
should check the permission or license related issue of your local government before you set up your
goat farm. While selecting a farm area you should ensure this-

Clean and dry surface, mud floor is appropriate except where high rainfall/snow is observed.

Tranquil and open area.

Water and food availability etc.

The thing goat like is rain and cold. Keep them in worm and well-built places.

3. Goat farming shed (housing) structure:

Generally, goats are moderately strong creatures, they do appear to have a disgust for rain. It will be
highly recommended to keep them out of cold winds if at all possible. A homely shelter for them to
escape is a must when the climate forces.
For Primitive level, it is absolutely relevant, how to define a perfect budget?

The different character has a distinctive plan but few budgets are really fruitful for every beginner who
wants to open a grazing business.

Primary Shade Size:

If someone wants to open up at a professional level than 25 feet *30 feet (length and width) would be
the best place for 125 to 200 goats.

You will need to divide goats in different rooms depending on there age and behavior

For a profit-driven farm within this area, at least 7 compartments are helpful the perfect growing
process.

Though, you can reduce the number into 4 compartments.

Promptly a simple question could arise and that is Why I suggest 7 compartments?

Because each compartment has defined for different types of level of maturity. You may have seven
different compartments for

Male (bucks),

Teenager,
matured female or does,

Weak or ill care compartment,

Breeding

Kids

Food serving

But, if you start with a small (below 10 goats) setup, Food serving, Breeding, Weak ill place need to be
separate. Because you will have less weak or ill goats. Besides, it can also be used as the bucks or
teenage or most growing time caring cell. Nevertheless, you can also use the breeding section for
smalls kids.

However, if you want to start a large setup, will need all 7 compartments.

Shedding materials:

Your goats will also desire a peaceful area to go when a birth is approaching. Covering a shed with
straw, hay, wood chips, or sawdust is essential for depositing the goat farm clean and mucking out.

Besides, a regular mucking out of all dirty areas is effective for preventing the maximum of the
diseases. The popular shade types are- General flock shed (Ewe / Doe shed), Attendant’s room, Ram
or buck shed, Lamb or kid shed, Shearing and storeroom, Lambing or kidding shed, Sick animal
shed.Goat farming shed (housing) structure

The shade should be made by tin and fence of all compartments should be made by steel because it
can survive at least 15 years.

4. Isolate the area with fences:

Fencing the area


Fencing the area

This is the most serious issue that the majority experience with goats.

They can escape specialists. Particularly if there is any forage, grass, or food visible on the other side
of the fence.

There are numerous choices for fencing, depending on your accessible space.

The sort of wall that you require is additionally subject to the measure of the goats you are planning for
rising. For example, the Dwarf goats, would not be kept in by strings of the barbed cable while
generous bucks before-mentioned as Nubians or La Manchas will.

5. Feeding type: Food & water selection

Like other animals, goats need easy access to clean water. Besides that, they eat a lot of things but it
is a myth that they eat everything. You should keep in your mind these two aspects before you
planning to start a goat farm. We have a dedicated article on this before beginning a goat farm have
some knowledge about Goats Feed List: What do Goats Eats and don’t eat.

The feeding process is a really crucial part. Basically, four times a day would be ideal time which helps
to gain proper muscle of goat and place of food serving should minimum 1.5 inches higher from the
main floor.

On the other hand during feeding, food should be used in a proper way.

Supplementary food also helps to gain more weight but for beginner, farmers should use natural food
which helps to work as a cure of many diseases and also not so much costly but it takes a little bit of
time for gaining weight than feeding supplementary food but feeding process is a little bit different for
pregnant Goats.
As goats eat almost everything you should ensure that there is no harmful plants or poisonous vines in
your goat farm. Primarily, the food management suggests giving food for the usual and desired growth
in several ages and in different seasons.

There are different types of food are known as an ideal food for goats which are given below:

Oats, crash corns and the black seed of sunflower are best mixes and natural process to make weight.

Cause it contains so much protein, fiber, carbo hydride, oils, and other important things.

Which help to get a healthy body. It also helps to quick digest in a proper way.

Barley and field pea could be ideal food but two of that thing should soak at least two days.

Then it will ready as food and other livestock grasses know them as the best food for goat.

Even minerals are a vital element for Goats, especially for female’s goat.

It’s also getting from natural sources by a different type of Foods and that sources will discuss in
another chapter Link with elaborately.

6. Understanding the goat’s behavior

There are two types of goats:

7. Understand & knowledge about Breeding and maturity.

Every farmer should have the least amount of knowledge about breeding maturity of goats.

7 month is suitable for breeding but the weight should be maintained from 100 to 105 pound but 1 year
is an ideal time for breeding. Usually, 3 will get in two years naturally.

During gestation pregnant does need 150 days (approx.) to give birth. Normally, 2 seasons are
available for breeding that is April and August and pick-time from October to January.

Within moments of being born, kids are up and walking around. They normally reduce the dependency
on mothers milk in between 2 months. At the age of two to four months separate the kids from the
mother into the teenage compartment.

Out of the season can happen it’s quite different. However, sometimes hormone should use for
increasing breeding season according to doctor’s consultant.

Bonus: Access to veterinary services [Reduce the Risk!!]:

The last thing but not least important factor you must be considered the easy access to veterinary
service. We recommend you to gather a piece of vast knowledge about veterinary or hire the expertise
of a trusted veterinarian. It is worthy to admit an experienced veterinarian as a pivotal person in your
goat-farm.

Try to learn the basics of goat care, feeds, and diseases.

If you desire to be prepared to raise fabulous and healthy bucks on a farm. Particularly if you want to
make a profit off them. Follow the veterinarian’s guidance on what types of feed and appendices. You
need to secure goats so that they will always be at the peak of health.

At Last:

There are some risk factors in every livestock business. But if you are determined to be a farmer and
are planning to start with livestock within a low budget. Then we highly recommend you to start with
goat farm and start raising with two. We will briefly discuss the risk factors of goat farming in our next
