4.  WHAT IS GOAT FARMING?
 Goat farming is a form of animal husbandry that involves raising and breeding dom
estic goats (Capra aegagrus hircus) for their meat, milk, fiber, and skins.
 It is a suitable production option for low-quality grazing lands and can be integrated
with other livestock farming, such as sheep and cattle.
 Goats are known for efficiently converting sub-quality grazing materials into quality l
ean meat and can be raised in small areas of pasture with limited resources.

5.  INTRODUCTION
 Goats domestication started about 10 millennia ago.
 In the different parts of the world, goat is raised for the meat, milk, wool and leathe
r.
 Goat farming is very popular because
goats require low initial investment,
fit the small hold farm and multiply fast.

6.  Goat farming involves the raising and breeding of domestic goats as
a branch of animal husbandry. People farm goats principally for their
meat, milk, fibre and skins.
 Goat is commonly known as ‘Poor man's Cow' in India and is very i
mportant occupation in dry land farming system.
 Goat farming involves the raising and breeding of domestic goats as
a branch of animal husbandry. People farm goats principally for their
meat, milk, fibre and skins.
 3% milk contribution is come from goats.
 India having ranks First in the Goat population (125.7).

11.  PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY
 Goat farm is located in the area where assured market round the year is available.
 It is easily accessible to the main road.
9
 Project Location

12.  HOUSING
 Low cost housing will be constructed on a raised platform (about 1 meter height from grou
nd level) by using bamboo/wooden poles or ‘pakka’
building by establishing concrete pillars.
 Floor and side walls will be made of wooden material.
10

13.  Roof will be thatched with coconut leaves,
grass or asbestos sheets.
 Average floor space per kid is 0.75 to 1 sq.
meter.
 Floor should have at least 1 cm space between bamboos/
wooden planks to allow passage of dung and urine down
to the ground.
11

14.  FEED & FODDER CULTIVATION
 Fertile land with assured irrigation facilities is necessary for successful fodder crop culti
vation and to provide good quality green fodders throughout the year.
 Fertile land with assured irrigation facilities
is available so that fodder crops could be
successfully raised and abundant good
quality green fodders will be made available
for animal feeding throughout
the year .
12

15.  Good quality fresh water for animal drinking and for the cleaning, wa
shing etc. is available.
 In general goats require 4-5 litres of
water per day and up to 10 litres per
day when lactating.
13
 Water

16.  Honest, economic and regular supplies of labours are available.
 Major problem of many livestock farms is recruitment and keeping of an
adequate supply of qualified farm labour.
14
 Labour

17.  Veterinary aid/ breeding centres facilities are availability near the prop
osed goat farm.
 According to breeding centres male female ratio is 1:20.
15
 Veterinary Aid

18.  More than 80 percent of the Indian Population are meat eaters.
 Mutton is relished by people more than chicken or beef /pork
(Consumed by a select section).
16
 Market potential

19.  Purchasing power of the people is on the rise and there is a distinct shift in consum
ption patterns, Non-Veg now becoming almost an essential part of the diet.
 Availability of Mutton is less than the demand.
 It requires smaller investments and is not as risky a business propositi-on as compare
d to Dairy.
 The demand for goat meat is increasing faster than the growth in goat population.
 Goat plays a significant role in providing supplementary income and livelihood to mil
lions of resource poor farmers and landless labourers
of rural India.
17

20.  The marketable products of goat farming includes the fattened kids, manure, c
ulled animals.
 Marketing avenues for the above products are slaughter houses and individual
meat consuming customers and agriculture
farms.
 Therefore availability of either slaughtering facilities or traders who will purcha
se live animals should be ensured to convert the fatteners into wholesome me
at and meat products.
 Further, demand for manure from nearby agriculture farms must also be ensur
ed. 18
 Marketing

21.  The scope for exports too is huge, however for selling goat meat abroad one
has to adhere to strict phytosanitary conditions and standards of the respecti
ve nations.
 The combined value of India's total exports is 3.54 USD million.

23.  Give goats plenty of clean water, food, and fresh grass accordin-g to their daily
needs.
 Never feed goats contaminated food or contaminated water.
 Take more care of pregnant doe, breeding buck, and kids.
 Feed the buck extra nutrients during the mating season.

 Maintainance in goat farming

24.  FEEDING MATERIAL OF GOAT
22

25. 23

26.  Low labour requirement.
 Goat is a multi-functional animal and plays a significant role in the econo
my and nutrition of landless, small and marginal farmers in the country.
 The initial investment needed for Goat farming is low.
 Goat milk is easy to digest.
 Goat creates employment to the rural poor besides effectivy utilizing unpa
id family labour.
24
 Strengths

27.  Goats are strong creatures that are able to resist various
diseases.
 Goats generally love being with humans and they are extremely docile.
 They have a high fertility rate achieving maturity with just 5 - 6 monthsThe probability of pr
oducing twins is high.
 Risk associated with drought is less in commercial goat farming compared to other livestoc
k breeds.
 Goat meat is a great appeal to the public because of the health benefits it provides to its co
nsumers. It is extremely low in fat, cholesterol and calories.
 This is good for people who have low energy diet scheme.
25

28.  Large-scale, organized goat farming has not yet become a
successful venture in the country.
 Water problem due to low rain, climatic variations like famine, flood and ligh
tning strike and labour shortage
 High kid mortality due to colibacillosis, starvation, extreme cl-imatic conditio
n, death of mother due to parasitic infestation- as a result of poor managem
ent.
26
 Weakness

29.  High and ready market of goat meat.
 Confirmed ever increasing Market price.
 You can start goat farming as a home based business opport-unity from your
backyards or you can initiate a full-scale goat farming business with a substa
ntial capital investment.
27
 Opportunities

30.  Heat stress can affect the digestion and rumen fermentation
pattern of goats, which contributes to the reduction in production
performance in goats.
 Water problem due to low rain, climatic variations like famine,flood and lightning s
trike and labour shortage
 lack of scientific feeding practices and feeding management at farmer level.
 The goat population is increasing & according to the government census, decli
ning grazing land poses a big challenge to the
industry.
28
 Threats

31.  WHY WE REAR SHEEPS WITH GOATS?
29
 Raising goat and sheep together is quite common ince they're both small ruminant anima
ls and are member of the Bovidae family and Caprinae
subfamily.
 They can both be raised for the purpose of producing milk, meat, wool or cleaning brush
and fields of vegetation.

 NABARD SCHEME
 Goat farming loans can be used to purchase land, build sheds, buy goats, buy fodder, etc. The process is ver
y simple. Firstly, get information about the goat farming business; you can take goat farming training, make a
goat farming project report and apply for any government loan. Also, ask your bank manager to get a NABAR
D subsidy after the loan sanction. Getting a subsidy from NABARD is easy.
 Loans are available from banks with refinancing facilities from NABARD to start goat farming. To avail bank l
oan, farmers should apply to the nearest branch of a commercial, cooperative, or regional rural bank in their
region in the prescribed application form, which is available at the branches of the financing bank. A technica
l officer or manager attached to the bank can assist/guide the farmers in preparing the project report for obtai
ning a bank loan. It is a working capital loan that can be availed for a goat farming business.
