I got your email, and have replied you.how are your goats adapting to change in environment from the north to IMO state. I had a bad experience trying to set up a goat farm in the East with northern breeds, most of them could not survive after a couple of months , diarrhea was rampant. adapting to a new feed apart from the dry grass they were use to was a problem. grasses in the East had too most moisture the goats could handle, higher humidity was also a challenge, this was noticed in the way they breathed and a lot of respiratory diseases.

felixzo1:
i know sebore farms has the pure boer breed, for cross breeds i have to ask them first, some comercial goat farms in the north too we have, it is a matter of investigating

Starting a goat farm

This strategy will work for a person staying in a small town or in a village or, anyone who has access to natural pastures and a good security around his farm/house. This method is stall feeding / semi intensive. A first of all the area of 1 acre should be fence to prevent thieves and intruders, (bad belle people and saboteur) if blocks are used for the fence it will be more expensive, wooden fence or a wire mesh fence will work out cheaper. The capacity of the goat house should will vary, according to your stocking capacity, (bear in mind that in 2 years each goat will have 6 kids at least) so when you are starting with 10 matured doe (female goats) you should build a structure capable of housing 60 goats, so as not to have to build a new structure every year. The structure should have a platform especially if you stay in high rainfall areas. (See attached photos for samples) the idea is to gradually upgrade the genetic of our local breed to standard size goats (crossbreeding) for profitability. Bear in mind keeping only local goat will not be profitable in a commercial goat farm (cost of maintenance, management, feeding, housing) the strategy involves get a matured female local goats (Nigerian dwarf, sokoto red etc) that has kidded at least twice and has reached a fully matured body size and weight (this is to prevent kidding problems due to huge kids) and crossing it with a buck (male goat) of 50%boargoat/local breed. The offspring of your local goats will be 25%boargoats/75% boar goats. (This crosses breeding will be done systematically until you reach pure breed status which is above 6 years. Contact me for more information on this if interested) for example if you started with 10 local female goats and one crossbred male goat( upgrading accordingly, keeping all the female goats and selling the males only and always using higher genetics for each offspring) by the 7th or 8th year under good management. You will have more than 500 pure exotic breed goats capable of weighing a 100kg ( selling above 50,000 each) each. Please note that success comes with planning, patience and focus. ( this is a challenge to all the unemployed youths, you can start with just 5 female goats and grow)
Questions and comments are welcome. If will give more information if asked. My next write up will be on feeding in stall fed goats and management. And how to get a loan from bank of Agriculture for your start up a farm.
