Good today to masters and learned once here. I really interested in going to goat farming but before going into it what is the minimum capital I can start with
And what are the structure
Lastly is there market and good returns on the goat farming

Let me buttress the response that was given to you by the @safarifarms in regards to the establishment of livestock farming. I will always advise new farmers to start small with the indigenous goats within their region so that it can serve as a training platform for them. After acquittance to the animals which will take sometime, you can now bring in other animals outside your region and later crossbreed of exotic breeds.

Good housing, proper feeding and management are the keys points to a good livestock farming. If those things are done properly you will spend less on drugs.

Have a good plan for their feeding which can be in form of pasture establishment or concentrate feed (which is expensive). Some pasture you can establish are brachieria, stylo, centrosema, lablab, mucuna etc.
As a beginner, your target should be healthy animals and multiplication before you can think of any sales.

There is still time for you to execute that long term dream of establishing a livestock farm. It's not necessary to start large, you can start by fattening rams, goat, cattle and sell them off after a while. For instance, there is still time for you to buy rams, fatten and sell them on Ileya. Rams in this Ileya will be more expensive than last year base on the current market price
Get in touch with us for your livestock sourcing (goats, rams and cattle), training and consultation.

Pasture establishment is key if you want to practice a successful livestock production. Plant fodders that will provide all the necessary nutritional requirements for your animals especially this raining season. Some of the fodder that can be planted on the farms are bracheria, Stylo, Gamba, pennisetum, lablab centrosema etc.

Plan to establish your pasture this year.
Contact us to get your pasture seeds.

Sure, it can get it at Abuja. The breed is Red Sokoto.
I'm not familiar with Abuja price

pheonixdld2:
Like the maradi or Sokoto Red of 3 months....Female is how much?

I won't adviser you if it's your first time in rearing red sokoto to go for 3 months old.
I will advise you go for Older ones provided you have reared them before, if not go for WAD.

I'm not familiar with 3 months old price

DwanAy2021:
how much can I get a goat for rearing?

Depending on the breed and age

IamAsiri:
And please can you tell me if there's anything wrong with my goats? Saw this urine colour this afternoon. What I gave them to eat in the morning is this "agunmaniye" leaves.

How well do you provide water to them? Is their water trough enough? Water should be readily accessible to them always especially in this period.
However, I do advice farmers to always have thermometer on their farm to always check their rectal temperature before admitting any medication

IamAsiri:

This dry season is the best time to stock your farm especially for farmers that prefer Red sokoto or maradi on their farm.
It will be easy for the goat to acclimatize to the to this part of the region (Southern part of Nigeria).
Red sokoto can do well in the South if properly manage.
The picture depict the Red sokoto goats on quarantine phase.

Vaccinate your goats against PPR.
PPR (Peste des Petits Ruminants) is a highly contagious viral diseases in small ruminants especially in goats and sheep. It is also known as goat plague which can wipe out a whole herds if not discovered early or well manage. There is no cure for this viral disease but it can be managed. The good news is that it can be prevented through vaccination. The disease outbreak is always common around this period of the year but it is not limited to this season. Some of the clinical signs of PPR are discharge from the nose, sore mouth, high temperature (fever) etc
However, some farms have started recording outbreak of PPR on their farms and this is the reason while it is very necessary for farmers to vaccinate against it early.

For further discussion on it and how to vaccinate, whatsapp or call +2348064858951

Every ruminant farmers should always prefer quality animals over quantity. It's not about the numbers of animals on the farm but the quality of the animals. A good quality animals with good nutrition and management will always make farmers to smiles to market earlier than others.

We breed and sell quality Kalahari red and Boer crossbreeds to farmers to improve their herds thereby making them to achieve optimal growth earlier thereby smiling to market earlier.

The picture below depicts a crossbreed of Kalahari and WAD that was sold to one of our customers at 6months while the second picture is that same buck at 16months weighing over 48kg.

Quality over quantity is the key....

felixzo1:

My advise is that you should be careful. Don't just fall for pictures but always ensure you see the picture of the person with the animals or do a video call while the person is on the farm if you can't visits the farm.
Also, don't be a victim of buying diluted breed as pure

AgricMaster:


if you need it i can connect you to a farm in east that has it.
it was sold 60-80k before but i don't know the current price now

Do you mean a pure boer and Kalahari red for 60 to 80k in a farm in the East? Have you visited the farm yourself before ascertaining that price?
I doubt that price for a pure breed

felixzo1:
wow that's great. how much are the cost of your cross

Currently, our ongoing discount prices is still on and most farmers have benefited from it. Discount price is #3,500/kg of live weight for crossbreed of Kalahari with Red sokoto or WAS

Scammer tunde

As a farmer, I later come to realize that most scammed victims are greedy because you want to buy a pure Boer or Kalahari red goat that worth 800,000 with shipping from South Africa at the rate of 30,000. That's greediness.
How can you buy a goat that worth 400,000 in South Africa after conversion to naira for 30,000? Is that not greediness?

Let's visit farm to see the animals first before buying.
