Nutrition
1- Feeding constitutes 70-75% of the cost of a livestock farm
Therefore, nutrition management is very important and fundamental in the growth and productivity of livestock.
2- The most important factor in goat nutrition is providing water and healthy fodder throughout the day and night
It is in the water trough and the animal trough. This problem is due to the type of goat rumen and its urgent need
It is very important for rumination, and for this purpose, fodder should always be freely available in the manger.
3- The amount of hay varies according to the time of milking and for example during the dry season
Being a livestock does not require high feeding with hay, and the animal's requirement during this period is a maximum of half a kilo
It is alfalfa, and this quantity reaches the maximum effect of one and a half kilos in high production animals during peak production.
4- The amount and type of prepared feed (concentrate) should be according to age, gender and breastfeeding time
It should be balanced so that in addition to proper productivity, it can also control your expenses, for example
Prepare your own feed for dry goats or male goats.
5- It is very important to balance feed with fodder during lactation because it causes acidosis
And there will be loss of milk and getting sick.
6- The time to consume feed in livestock should be after grazing fodder (alfalfa) so that it is digested in the rumen.
Easy to do and prevent acidosis.
7- Consuming straw (or silage) is very important in animal nutrition and should be done after grazing hay and feed.
To be freely available to livestock.
8- Fresh water should always be within reach of the animal, for this purpose, you can use waterers with floats.
9- In feeding the goats, fresh water, hay and feed should be freely available to the goats from the third week.
10- At the time of milking, you can use the feeding trough and a small amount of feed to calm and control the goats.
11. After weaning, the kids should be separated immediately and fed with their own diet.
herd management
Poor management of the herd will eliminate all the costs and efforts made in animal husbandry
And it leads the farmer very quickly to exhaustion and eventually bankruptcy.
Monitoring livestock workers and giving them the right instructions and protocols is the key to the success of a rancher.
Implementation of vaccination protocols will save the herd from many contagious and deadly diseases.
