• India is first in goat population in the world with approx. 160 million goats

• Providing supplementary income to nearly 70 million farmers of over

5,00,000 remote villages

• Goat meat production in the country has increased from 0.47 to 0.59

million tons during the last decade (2002 to 2011) with an annual

growth rate of 2.4%.

• Goat milk production in the country has also increased from 3.6 to 4.7 million tons during the same period with an annual growth rate of 2.6 %.

• The country stands first in goat milk production and is the second largest

in goat meat in the world by sharing 29% & 12% production, respectively.

The goat sector contributes 8.4 % to the India’s

livestock GDP i.e. 38,590 crores through meat (Rs.

22,625 crores), milk (Rs. 9,564 crores), skin (Rs.

1491crores), manure (Rs. 1,535 crores) and others

Rs 3,360 crores.

Goat contributes approx. Rs 40,000

crores to Indian Economy

Technical Challenges

• Unavailability of high genetic potential breed

• Absence of high productive exotic breed for cross breeding

• Lack of scientific feeding practices

• Health challenges like PPR, CCPP and Haemoncosis

• High kid mortality

• Poor feeding of goat kids

Commercial Challenges • Lack of organized market • Absence of state of art goat

farms • No specialized feed units • Lack of properly vaccinated

goat stock to start new farm • Lack of commercial value chain

of goat meat • Lack of proper scientific

information regarding commercial goat farm establishment

• Poor housing and habitat is primary constraint in failure of commercial goat

farms.

• Traditional high floor housing system restricts farmers to keep large

flocks of goats

Page 7: Challenges in goat farming in india - Goat Farming Consultancy

Need of proper scientific housing for goats is necessary to run profitable

goat farms.

Use of latest management equipment to control environment in kennel

type tropical housing for goats become essential

• In spite India is land of genetic diversity even than no genetic improvement

in goats have been take place since last 60 years.

• Even we have lost our credential breeds like pure Jamunapari and beetal in

their breeding tracts.

• Non descriptive breeding constitute nearly 80% of the total animals in the

field

• No herd book is maintained to keep standard breed records of goats

• No registered breeding society is present yet

• Gap between research scientists and stake holders is large

Therefore any entrepreneur who want to run commercial

goat farms need to start it from scratch.

Page 9: Challenges in goat farming in india - Goat Farming Consultancy

Excessive cross border regulation in live animal trade in India causes

very difficulty to entrepreneurs in bringing good genetic stuff from

Australia or South Africa.

It is already evident that cross breeding with Boer or Shami or Sanen will not only improve growth characters but also milking ability of goats

which ultimately translated into high value meat of kids and also useful

to marginal farmers.

• Although feeding standards are

available to feed goats at various

stages of production but they are

grossly ignored and hence

farmers and entrepreneurs suffers huge production losses.

• Properly formulated feed is

necessary to keep goat healthy

and efficient meat production.

Customized feed additives formulation are

necessary to run profitable meat goat program

Most of the goat farmers are least concerned about health of their animals

which lead to huge losses in the farms.

These are some of the major diseases which can be prevented through various precautionary measures but the Irony is that they remain undiagnosed & close the farms

Page 12: Challenges in goat farming in india - Goat Farming Consultancy

Kids which are main profits of the goat farms are remained ignored

50% & 70% of the total mortality will be occur in 1st week and 1st month of

the kids’ life respectively. It means that there would 50% chances that kid die

in 1st week.

Pneumonia and Diarrhea are main causes of the deaths, these are not diseases but MANAGEMENTAL PROBLEMS

This mortality can be prevented through improve management practices and available medicine’s administration .

Customized practices and medicinal formulations are available for farmers to

keep meat kids fit and healthy.

Our personal experience (& it is also scientifically proved) tells that extra antioxidant administration to goats in last month of pregnancy improves kids survival rates provided that kid have sufficient colostrum at birth.

Poor feeding in pregnancy leads to lower birth weight of kids which ultimately leads to low growth rates and poor profits

Goat exhaust high amount of energy, water, calcium and electrolytes from the body – these causes calcium and carbohydrate crisis in goats and ultimately lower amount and poor quality of colostrum and subsequent milking.

In India kids are left with goats and no special care is provided to kids It must be keep in mind that in Indian goats are not efficient milk producers and never support the growth potential of kids. In such conditions high energy kids starter and milk replacers are required These milk replacers are needed to give from 7th day after birth up to 10 – 12kg weight attainment. Phase medicated milk replacers are easy to formulate and administer to kids

Page 15: Challenges in goat farming in india - Goat Farming Consultancy

In phase medicated milk

replacers many of the diseases

like coccidiosis, salmonellosis,

E.coli, pasteurellosis, entero

toxemia and haemonchosis

would be prevented besides

providing energy, protein &

vitamin for growth.

• Farmers keep kids with the goats which causes managment problems in goats

• Goats with kids will come late into the heat and breeding would be delayed

• It is recommended that under proper veterinary / consultant supervision kids should be weaned on 7th day after birth
