Hi, I am a veterinarian and dairy consultant from Ahmedabad, Gujarat.

Sheep Farming Business is the raising and breeding of sheep and is a highly profitable business.

Sheep are mainly raised for their meat, milk and wool, these products are having high demand in the market.

Sheep farming business doesn’t require huge capital.

We will discuss details regarding key benefits and challenges associated with sheep farming in personal discussion or via e-mail.

Sheep rearing is a very profitable venture…

Cons : Huge labour dependency which most of the timr causes loss.

Sheep are very prone to diseases and have higher mortality ( Specially during rainy season )when compared to goats

Good luck if you plan to start a sheep unit…keep posting to this group

Animal Husbandry Department of India is launched a scheme funding support to conserve the native livestock breeds of India ( Sheep , Goat , Cow , Chicken etc ) , Value addition projects , Cattle fodder cultivation an silage processing etc. So I think think you can network backward linkage in India to buyback byproducts and forward linkage to redistribute in your current residential country Switzerland .
