If I were you I would advise you go to remote area where you can get cheap land. Invest in vegetables it takes just 3 weeks for you to make your money then start to rear animal. Goat is now hot cake. If you interact very well you can still least 1 hectare of land for just 5K. Agric is where the money is now. |

Let continued on lice or tick control we started. I told you I practice organic method of rearing but this aspect is one I have not been able to use organic method to control them, therefore I used chemical though research is still on to determine how to control these insect in organic way. Goat usually has tick that suck their blood therefore causing anemia and discomfort when they feed inside the bush. I normally observed the animal , when I notice this, I add little quantity of kerosene to the spot this will make the critter to be uncomfortable and reduce it grip on the animal causing it to be removed easily. I throw them inside fire or put them on solid ground and use my leg to kill it. Make sure you kill it, if not it can re infest your animal or yourself. However great care must be taken when carry this out as I almost lost 2 pregnant goat for this reason 2 years ago...to be continued. |
