Dinesh, its good that you are planning Goat farm in Sri Lanka as there is shortage there also as mostly people are exporting the meat from Sri lanka to Far East Countries. Female Goat can give you best result if you breed them at the age of 11- 13 Months. Male will give best performance if it is above 2 years. 1 Male of more than 2 year can handle 20- 25 females 6- 428. amir khan on 6/19/2011 2:58:38 PM 7- dear sir Hi, I'm from mumbai india.

Syed Mustafa Hussain Razvi on 6/21/2011 12:52:36 PM 11- Dear Amir, You can keep up to 1000 goats in your land but main thing i am afraid, where you will grow fodder. what you can do is to buy the Goats from either Rajastan, Maharshtra or Hyderabad as in other parts you will get expensive. There is Huge demand of MEAT Goats between 14- 16 Kg Live Weight rather than meat and you can gain profit of 300- 400 Rs on each Goat which is highly impressive. if you need supply of Goats in Bulk from Hyderabad please let me know

before Eid you will get Expensive Goats. Shed- Make normal shed of Asbestos and it will cost you around 120- 140 Rs / Sq ft. Inside shed area you need 14 Sq ft / Goat and outside space surrounded by Net around 30 S

Syed Mustafa Hussain Razvi on 6/21/2011 1:09:27 PM 17- @Ashfaq Ahmad, for fodder you can give Maize, Jawar, Bajra, Napier, Lucerne, Stylo, Subabul and many other fodder as recommend by your Vet. You can Home Made Concentrate not only to last stage Pregnant Does and Lactation Does but also to Dry Does before Mating season. for health care you have to appoint Vet to take good care of your goats. for 25 goats you need 1 acre of land. for Govt Schemes, you have to make project Report and submit to bank for loan and there is 25 % Subsidy also but check you region is there is scheme or not. for training check my old post. Suitable Breed Osmanabadi\ MUNAWAR, All business is profitable in this world if you manage it properly and goat business is also good but you have to take care of goats very well during monsoon, pregnancy, breeding season, kids management..
