Feeding management
- Ensuring Bushes/shrubs for browsing of animals in and around the village.
- As an alternative to above, supply of cultivated fodder from own farm cultivated in 3 acres is supplied to the goats.
- Regular visit on feed data is collected from our field officer.
- As a thumb rule 2/3rds of the energy requirements will be met through roughages. Half of the roughages will be leguminous green fodders and rest half will be grasses/tender tree leaves.
- In the absence of good quality green fodders, concentrates will be given to replace them.
- Kids will be fed colostrums upto 5 days of age. Later on they will be put on Kid starter rations.
- Green leguminous fodders should be feeded. to kids from 15 days onwards.
- salt and water will be given to kids at all times.
- Additional concentrates will be given to bucks and does during breeding season.
- Care will be taken to meet the nutrient requirements all time.
