It cited section 27 (1) of the GIPC Law 2013, (Act 865) which states that, “A person who is not a citizen or an enterprise which is not wholly owned by a citizen shall not invest or participate in the sale of goods or provision of services in a market, petty trading or hawking or selling of goods in a stall at any place,” the Trade Ministry warned non-Ghanaians selling goods or dispensing services in the retail sector to “be advised accordingly.” |

The Commissioner for Finance, Mr Maxwell Embeleyi, said in a statement on Thursday that the meeting could not hold because of the inability of the NNPC to present accurate figures of revenue collected for the month to the committee. |
Gestation: Goats have a gestation period of 5-7 months. Some goats kid two times a year. Some goat can give you 3 kids at once. But some can give just one. Two is the most common. We had two does in our farm that were giving 3 at once. But, we lost the two , due to lack of experience. We have also learnt our lessons. |
General Care: * Make sure your farm house is always clean. * Remove poisonous and harms weeds or objects from the farm Marketing: There are always markets available for agricultural products. It all depends on the farmer to take advantage of the available markets and also creates markets for himself. Goat farming is very profitable. One doe can give you between 3 to 6 kids in two years. These kids will be ready for market in two years or less , depending on the breed and how you handle them. |
Housing: Your Goat house should be built to protect your herds from predators and to also prevent them from going out of bound. Build a shelter for them where they can hide when it is raining and when the sun is on a high side. Also give them an area, within the shelter, where they play about. Also make sure that you have separate compartments for sorting. Goats of the same size should be in same pen. The males should also have a separate pen. There should also be a separate pen for Does with kids.
|
Feeding: Goats eat different types of feed , from kitchen wastes to grains, leaves and grasses. There are also other supplements that help them do well. You can also formulate special feed for the , if it will not shoot up your cost of production. What we did was to create a separate grazing area for them. Make sure you do not put their feed on the flow. You can either hang them with ropes or you get feeding troughs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r2gtO28QHk

Medication. Some drugs need to always be available in your farm. Like antibiotics, dewormers, and drugs for diarrhea. Use the services of vet doctors around you. Consultant practicing and experienced farmers, if you have challenges in your farm. The BEST way to handle some of this challenges is to share ideas as farmers, as there are conventional ways of handling some of these challenges.

Starting Your Goat Farm Before you start goat farming, check if it is allowed in your area. Decide on the type of goat you want. Some are good for milk production, some for wool and others for meat. Although, We started with the Nigerian Dwarf Goats. They are easier to handle and highly resistant to pests and diseases, when compared to others. They can also cope with cold environment, better than others. Start with at least 2 or 3 goats. 1 male and 2 females. Female goats are called does, while male goats are called bucks or billies. Baby/Young goats are called kids. Castrated males are called wethers.

TRAINING/KNOWLEDGE ON GOAT FARMING You have to learn whatsoever business or farming you intend to go into. For us, we went for trainings upon trainings. Read so many articles on the internet. Take note, the best way to learn a trade, is to learn from those who know it and are already in it, even if it will cost you some money. The saying: "Na money dem take dey find money" is very true. I learnt this in Snail Farming. Those who went into it with just what they read on Google , later had to pay more to correct their mistakes. Like we said earlier, methods other people use in their area may not work in your area. Note that goat farming is very lucrative, as one doe can give you 3-6 kids in two years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvFCu-5vVzI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1saE7BoI7M
