Goats are animals that are very tough and adaptable. However, goats can also be harmful / destructive to crops and land. Manage goat properly to prevent these problems.
Suggested a smaller number of goats will be better than a lot of goats. However, for areas that are too dry, the goat is a suitable animal maintained. Sheep can also be maintained, in the same manner as raise goats.
goat needs: water, food, cages, health, shade, fence or rope.
goat products: meat, milk, manure, money, labor (controlling weeds and cleaning the land), the skin.
A goat is a simple system can improve the quality of goat and make you become more productive land. You can start with a pen of goats and then create land for crops feeding the goats. A forward plan is essential. You can cultivate a productive area which produces food and traditional medicines, for the goats and also to humans.
Cage
Goat barn floor must remain dry, even in the rainy season, so easy to clean. The floor of this sheep pen can be made from split bamboo above ground level, or other materials. Add dry grass where the goats lying on the floor. Replace the grass once a month in the dry season, and once a week in the rainy season. Sweep area does not become a goat lying down every day or every other day to reduce the risk of disease.
When the grass in the goat barn was cleaned, the grass contains manure / dung good goat unakan as mulch and compost material. Goat enclosure walls can be made with or without walls but with a strong fence around the enclosure. Plant several kinds of plants around the cage to provide shade as well as providing feed for the goats.
Feed
Goats fed easily because goats eat almost all types of plants. Often times, the goat is left wandering alone in search of food, often in large numbers, so often destroying crops in surrounding areas.
For that, the goat can be tied up or build a fence around the goat grazing areas, and provided feeding the goats every day. Each tail, about the goats eat 10 kg of fresh leaves. Goats will eat nearly all the foliage, but some types of foliage more nutritional content than other types of foliage. Lamtoro leaves, moringa, Gliricidia, tamarind, and mulberry, all provide various kinds of necessary nutrients goat.
Food rotation system is a good way to manage the goats, because these systems can help provide a regular feed for the goats, and each area of land to provide food evenly, for example (the number of goats per hectare depending on what is eaten by goats):
- Grass with good quality: 3 or 4 cows per hectare.- Rice field after harvest: 2 fish per hectare.- Grass or weeds bad qualities: 1 fish per hectare. If you also provide additional food beyond the third feed of the land, you will increase the growth of goats. This additional feed can be a good quality grass or legume foliage. With additional feeding, the number of goats per hectare can be added (maximum there are 4 cows per hectare).
Collect and distribute seeds of legumes, cover crops, beans-buncisan, and other small plants. This will improve the soil and provide a quality goat feed crops.
One major illness is a disease that attacks the goat Coccidia. This disease is a type of worm disease that usually diidap goats but do not cause problems, but if the goat is not healthy living conditions and bad weather, the disease can kill a goat. Usually the disease is attacked at the end of the rainy season when high winds occur. The best treatment for this disease is to prevent it.Prevention can be done by:- Not too many goats graze in the yard.- Cleaning the sheep pen on a regular basis in the rainy season, every day or two daysonce. Wet goat manure could increase the risk of disease.- Put some dry grass in the goat barn and burned it. Thiswill kill the worms that live in soil, but beware lest youjust burn the whole cage! Do this 1-2 times each rainy season.- Clean the water container so as not containing impurities goat.- Protect from strong winds goat (protection in the cage).- Separate the goat is sick until it healed ailing goats to prevent the spread of disease.
Goat Products
1. Milk
Female goats to produce milk that is healthy for human consumption, especially children. Goat milk is also good for people who suffer from asthma. Goat milk is a very valuable product, can be produced throughout the year, but rarely people think. If there are many goats, there is considerable potential to increase people's nutrition. Goat milking is a process that must be done properly and careful because if not, the goat will be permanently in pain. People must be trained to properly milking goats and sheep also need to be trained to be familiar with the process of milking the milk.
For milking, you must have a milking parlor, some equipment, and milking is done every day. Milking parlor and equipment must be kept clean. Goats need a healthy supply of feed to produce milk that is better every day.
2. Dung
A sheep pen will make a lot of manure that can be added to the liquid and solid compost compost. Goat manure can also be dried and distributed around the plant maize, cassava and other crops.
3. Land Cleanup
Goats can be used to clean the area that you will use to plant crops or trees. Goat is a good free labor. Make sure that your goat is also not clear the land owned by a neighbor!
