Comment Page 3

@Dr.Selvaganapathy, all your questions like shed, breed and feed is already answered here. Please read my previous comments.

@atul dubey, Hi Atul well there are lots of pros and cons of goat farming but i just wanted to know what breed of goat you want to  farm i mean you want to farm goat for milk or meat production. I must say goat farming is extremely profitable business if you will do it in the right way.

• You need at least 50 sq ft of area for each goat.
• If you are planning for diary goat then Surati breed is best but if you are planning for meat production then barbari, Bengali are the best breeds.
• There are some more breeds like Jamuna pari, Beetle but if your area is rainy area then these will not suit you.
• Goats have very few demands they can adjust with any atmosphere. They are cheaper to maintain and easily available in market.
• They are more tolerant to hot climate.
• The most important part is you need very less investment to start your farm.

Dear Lyton, You can contact Boer Goat Association in South Africa

@N.Loganathan, we are not providing telephonic support as of now. We also don't have consulting services to provide. If you have any questions then write them here, if they are not generic then it will be answered by me or by a consultant.

I suggest you to start with one shed, 16*30 can fit 10 goats in it. You can judge how the business goes from here and increase it later. If you decide to improve your business then build some bigger houses to hold more goats in one. Each goat requires around 50 sqft.
