Hello lovelly frineds

Goats are one of the livestock that provide benefits for farmers. Maintenance is relatively easy, providing many advantages, making this animal one of the mainstays for breeders.
I've been herding goats and cows since I was little. Usually I go to the fields and herd the goats there. I just have to wait for the goats while looking for other activities in the fields such as playing and looking for crickets.

Advantages of goat farming


Goats have added value which is an advantage when cultivated.
This makes us keep goats as well as cows as one of our livestock.
The advantages of raising goats include:

  1. More practical when sold for small needs.
    If we need money we can sell a goat. We don't need to sell the whole goat. It will be different if we raise a cow. When we need a little money we can't sell a pair of legs or a cow.
  2. Faster turnaround.
    Goats can give birth every six or seven months. At least once a year will give birth. This is an opportunity for breeders who choose to do breeding. If we choose a goat with more than one gene, it will be very profitable.
    Of course it will be different if we raise cows which take longer.
  3. Delicious goat meat is an effort to fulfill family nutrition.
    We can make goats as our food reserves. When there is an event that requires meat, we just have to choose our own goat for consumption.
  4. You can squeeze the milk.
    Some types of goats are able to produce milk in large quantities such as the Ettawa, Sanen or other types.
    This gives more value so that it can help fulfill milk for the family.
  5. Compost.
    Leftover food and goat feces can be processed into manure which is very beneficial for plants. Nitrogen content and other minerals will help agriculture so that it will become an integrated agriculture.
  6. Maintenance is simpler.
    Goat feed which is easily available makes it easy for us to find food in the form of grass and leaves. We can also make fermented feed as a backup during the difficult season to find animal feed.
    Thus the benefits that can be obtained by raising goats. If we want to be more diligent, of course, the more benefits we will get.
    Thus my writing this time may be useful.
    Best regard from Indonesia.
