To Start Goat Farm
Hi Dr Sheikh,
I would like to first thank you for answering my questions. I have a plan to start a Goat Farm in a small investment as I am not in a financial position to start in a big way. If you can give me a suggestion how I can apply in Govt Schemes and get Govt Subsidy. I am based in Tirunelveli District of Tamil Nadu. I have 7 Acres land and can you tell me from which bank can I obtain and the Documents required for applying loan? overall can you tell me how to start a goat farm
Regards
Kenny Peter

Goat farm schemes
Dear kenny peter,
You will get 25% of subsidy(open caste) on total Project amount under NABARD.The main condition of Nabard is that,first u must get loan from any nationalize bank,then only nabard provides u subsidy.
So first visit any nationalize bank that u know very well or that u have good relations with that bank and ask them to provide u loan.U must submit them goat farm project report.If the bank manager gets satsified,After reading the report then he will surely provide u loan.
Documents needed:
*security(bank keeps your farm land or home or any other property equivalent to project amount as security)
*nationality,voter id,pasport photos,no duce certificate.

Goats fodder cost
Goat farming is most profitable when it is done on commercial basis.
While breeding 100 goats keep the female kids with you and sale only male kids.
Male to female ratio is 1:1.
A goat gives kids twice a year.Sirohi,jamnapari,surti,boer will give you 2-3 kids in 1 yr,whereas osmanabadi 4-8 kids in 1yr.So increasing from 100 to 500 depends on type of breed.If you breed osmanabadi u will achieve it in shorter time as compare to other breeds.
Feeding cost depends on type of fodder that u cultivate on land.Its lesser for napier and lucerne.Also if u have enough water on field u will get low fodder expenses.feeding cost varies from rs3-rs10/day per goat depending on soil condition,water,crop etc.
U can minimise the feeding cost by planting high yeilding crop like napier.
Also by using silage.Feed goats only chaff cutted fodder so that there will be no wastage of fodder.

Goat fodder cultivation
Dear rahul,
First make a soil testing at your nearest agri department.They will tell you the minerals that to be added to grow the crops.
Napier,lucerne requires fertile land and plenty of water same as that of other seasonable crops.
Beside these crops you can also cultivate gajraj grass or maize,as they can be easily grown in semi fertile land of maharashtra.

Goat shed
Dear meggies,
goat farm doesnt requires a specific shed as that of poultry farm.
Make an incline at the top with proper ventilation on all four sides.Half of shed is open so that there will be enough sunlight and half of shed is covered for protection against rain.Make a proper drainage system for goat urine.Clean the shed everyday with germicidal and dry it properly with an dryer.
The minimum cost to raise a 100 goat shed is around 70,00-1lakh.No need to expense more than that on shed.
