goat doubles every 6 months
Grass cutter quadruples every 6 months
And all they eat is grass that grows from Lagos to Kano

lol, you are actually right they are eating grass. I know of goat but got are very stubborn in nature and very difficult to manage because of their ruddiness. meanwhile, let look at the marketing aspect of the two. goat can be easily marketable than grass-cutter because the demand for goat on a daily basis are so great. quite a numbers of people cannot do without eating goat per two or three square on their meal per day compare to grass-cutter that is only patronize in the bear palour, hotels and some other special entry because it not everyone of them that cook it because they believe it quickly spoil. anyway there are my opinion and it subject to correction with proof like I have done. thank you all

how about cat fish??

emillionaire:
how about cat fish??

yea, cat fish. it escape my memory. that is why nobody is an island. you cannot know it all. cat fish proven to be lucrative as well because of it high demand by hotels, bar palours, restaurant, market people etc. the only disadvantage there is maintenance most especially if they are is in their infantry because of their mortality rate. it is easily to loose all the capital if they are attack by diseases actually it all animal that have their own diseases but the fish can spread so fast because of they live in the same water. only way is to get an expect that can help you on these. you alone can not farm this except if you are ready to loose all your money. I have a friend that lost his capital on fish farming before just because of low water supply when is producing them.

To add to the existing list. Quail Bird it another economy Birds,they lay eggs more faster than chicken. Their eggs and their meat have health benefit.

For now l dont know how often people demand for them in the market. If you know more about this you can share your experience.

Grasscutter cannot quadruple every 6 months. Their pregnancy and weaning period is more than 6 months. In fact, the best you can get is 3 pregnancies in 2 years

Nice choice though, but frankly speaking that's your own personal view which might differs from other people's preference.

However I'm into piggery at the moment and I also chose Pig at the most Profitable animal to deal with.

As for the demand, it's got a massive market requests but that varies from location to location for instance, the market demands in most Northern region will be quite lower, but the market demands in the South- South is extremely higher.

For me Pig is the most lucrative of all farm animal. If you manage your pigs very well. It can litter twice a year and each litter can give you between 10 to 15 piglets or more. And you can have 100% survival of the piglet when manage well. No other farm animal can give you that.

The gestation (pregnancy) period of the female pig is 114 days. She will be ready to be bred another time around 5-7 days after her pigs are weaned (removed from nursing). Thus if you wean the litter of pigs at 21 days of age she will come into estrus (heat) around 26-28 days after farrowing (giving birth).
