EMBRACE GOAT REARING

In the olden days, Goats were precious among farmers as they provided them with milk and meat.

These goats were slowly wiped out in favor of a cow that produces relatively higher amounts of milk.

As a wise farmer here are reasons as to why you should revert to Goat farming as some farmers have already done.

Dairy Goats reduce space for rearing as space used to rear one cow can be used to rear up to six goats.

Feed consumption by Dairy Goats is lower compared to what cows consume per day.

An average cow can consume over 50 kilograms of feeds compared to a goat that can consume less that 10 kilograms.

Milk from a Goat, though little, has more nutritional value as it offers better immunity. Those having the HI virus can rely on this milk to boost their immunity.

The price of Dairy Goat milk per liter is higher to that of a cow and its density is higher compared to that from cows.
