Nice grass work.

How much per ton?

EMMAACHILE:
Raising a local goat or goats on intensive ranching will never yield profit due to the low reproduction capability and the slow growth of goats. The cost of feeding will kill you even if you decide to use fodder.

It's like raising local chicken in pens. It will always be a loss. Your best bet aside poultry is pig, rabbits or even catfish where fodder can be used extensively for the former two mentioned here and their improved breeds are available unlike goats.

What about Sokoto red or Sahel white?

Do they reproduce faster than the West African Dwarf?

jidestroud:
Yes, firstly as a hubby, then I intend making profits off my hobby while gathering the required knowledge.

On profit projections; Definitely in place. This is one of my 5 years program. I have a well drafted out blueprint of what is expected yearly and at the end of the 5th year.

A quick review, the African dwarf goats becomes active and ready to breed starting from 6 months in some cases but like most breeders/farmers, I intend keeping them for a year before breeding (one reason i intentionally didnt buy a male goat) I guess going by the sellers information, I have 4months more to go since they were 8months as at the time of purchase.

Secondly, the goats have gestation period of about 145 - 148 days, that about two births in a year. Though I don't intend to overstress them.
And from the information gotten from the seller, the mother goats gives birth to three (3) kids per birth, which I confirmed.
That is, by my calculations (using the two African dwarf I got)
1. 6 kids per 1 goat every year (x2 goats) = 12
2. In Five years, 12 x 5years = 60 goats

Lol...that's in an ideal state. Oya in reality

1. At least a birth each year i.e. 3 per goat yearly
For two goats, that's 6 goats yearly
2. In 5 years, 6 x 5 = 30 goats from both goats

Note: I have no intention of selling till the third year. So calculation above is been done on the two goats now.

Feeding and medication is another. For the time been, all I use is sourced solely by me at no cost except for the first time I went to food at alaba Rago. I have been getting excess supply of pap waste from the community though I except things to change soonest.

Ok. You feed them solely with pap waste?

Will that give them all their required nutrients?

And do the goats enjoy eating only that all day long?

You didn't mention cost of medication. Can they do without vaccines?

Yohh:
Fair, she should have hit her husband

Same offence and jail term.

Spray fungicide every 5 days until infection disappears.

Seems you are just doing this as a hobby.


Do you have any profit projection analysis?


What is the cost of raising one goat to maturity?

Topmaike007:
if Nigeria is not reasonable that is we the citizens are not........

How? Is it the citizens of those countries that are giving free housing or their elected leaders?

Stop reasoning crap.

Topmaike007:
where is my Nigeria?

We are talking of reasonable countries, you are mentioning Nigeria?

Life is hard for everything in Nigeria, both living and non living

On the flip side, how is Turkish Education? Is it par with European standards?

I am searching for a country to do my masters and would prefer something better than this God forsaken Nigeria educational system.

henry255,

Just go ahead with your travel plan and see what fate has in store for you.

Turkey was on a good path, even to the point of joining EU before Erdogan took power, started islamizing the country, jailing and killing people and retarding the country's growth toward "third world country" status.

Wish you best of all tho, you can always come back to Nigeria if things didn't look up fine or move to a better place from there.

Buhari said they should bring them back, yet he has no arrangement to correct the cause of their leaving in the first place.

Lordkross:
You make over $450 monthly in Nigeria and you decided to move to Turkey Are you OK? If you are going to school, good for you, $450 for a student is pretty decent, even though i think it would mean you have to sacrifice your studies because Turkey is very mean, but asking for more is greed and wickedness. If you can do business plus your $450 monthly why not. Don't go to turkey to find work, go there to create one. They have all the opportunities you will need...look well. It is better than Nigeria.

It's a low-salary paying country. Almost on the same level as Nigeria.

I am yet to see the justification leaving Nigeria to earn peanuts in Turkey.

Maybe there's something I am not getting

You should always buy seeds from standard seed companies who know what they are selling to you.

henry255:
A student visa

I believe the fastest way for you is to visit other Turkey related threads and see if you can make contacts with any of the posters living in the country.

What specie did you plant?

I believe Technisem should give u what you want. Like Roma VF or more better hybrid seeds.

A farmer once said he applied pesticide once and it worked like magic but after subsequent application, the pesticide become ineffective.

How can one deal with such situation where pests develop resistance to your pesticide?

What do you expect from a country where most people don't have jobs?

Still don't understand how the Nov/Dec timetable will work with European schedule.

Will there be winter break?

greenmonk:
Do you mean verify or expose. Mind your language on social media. You don't have to use derogatory language on anyone in making your point.

Are u his co-partner?

Please I need contacts of credible soil labs around Lagos, Ogun or Oyo states.
And possibly the costs. Thanks.

Is there any Nairalander living in Lessel, Gboko to verify what this OP is up to?

Pls anyone to that market here should help expose this OP.

OP, are you working in conjunction with killer herdsmen?
