aslmkum Thank you for your post and i have some questions, i am planing (rather executing) to setup a goat and sheep farm and i have chosen to stall feed them as most of the work will be done by me, i cant depend on the laborers for grazing as they r not trust worthy so now after lot of research i have concluded to stall feed them and for the feed i am planing to feed them with hi-breed napier grass and Lucerne with mineral mix, salts and feed grade urea. will this be enough or do i need to feed them with grains and also advice me on the proportion i.e lucerne : napier and the proportion of urea to be mixed with grass.

  1. can i install sprinkler system to napier grass and please advice me on preparing field before sowing for both crops. and also advice me on watering intervals.

  2. goats i am not very specific in commercial production as they have no mkt value in b’lore, i intend to keep them for Ramadan sale only so i need some muscular breed like boer/jamnapari which can grow fast help me on this.

  3. how is rambouillet in comparison to other Indian breads in meat (tenderness and quality).

  4. can you help me procure animals.

Thanks and sorry to take your time barakallah…

Hi All,

Greetings!

I am seeing this thread for long time if any more updates available and it seems this thread is sleeping quite more time.

I have some questions about goat farming(Stall Fed Method). Experts, could you please answer for the below questions.

  1. How much land is required per goat(for Green Fooder cultivation), If I plan to feed only green fooder. Please let me know If we can’t feed only green fooder and If we need to feed along with mixed grains, Also please give me the mixing proportion of grains.

  2. Which Grass varieties needs to feed, If I plan to feed only green fooder

  3. Can we have sprinkler system for the green fooder’s

  4. What could be the watering intervals (For eg: dry land in Summer)

  5. How frequent we can cut for feed.

Please help me to gather this information.

Dear khalidsalafi,
Napier grass is king of all grases.If supply napier and lucerne throughout the year it is enough for the goats.
The proportion of urea to be mixed is 200gm per day per goat.
2.Ya u can have sprinkle system to napier grass.
3.The best variety of goats are osmanabadi,jamnapari and sirohi.U can choose any one according to your local demands.
4.Rambouillet is not a goat,its a sheep.It has a demand in north india.
5.Sure i will help

31

osmanabadi variety is suitable for sivaganga area in TN as they can accomodate in any part of country.

32

u can go with GOATS as they have more reproductive capacity and less prone to diseases as compare to SHEEPS
