Unleash the power of goats: finance your farm

Issue

Goat farming is a high yielding and profitable industry, but it involves many challenges that can negatively affect the yield and economic viability of the business. One of the main problems that most goat farmers face is the high mortality rate of their goats, mainly due to the lack of proper health and management practices.

An example of this problem is Sara, a small-scale goat farmer from a rural area. She invested her savings in buying healthy goats, but unfortunately some of her goats died due to preventable diseases, the most common pneumonia. The death of her goats resulted in a significant financial loss and she was unable to recoup her initial investment.

This problem is not only specific to Sara, but is also common to many small-scale goat farmers around the world. Without proper health and management practices, it is difficult to maintain goat mortality rates, leading to subsequent financial losses.

Relevance of the issue

The problem of high mortality rates in goat farming is important because it directly affects the economic viability of the business. According to recent statistics, the mortality rate in goat farming has increased due to improper health care, management, and nutritional practices. This problem not only costs farmers their investment, but also limits the supply of goat products. The low supply has a direct impact on the prices of goat products, which ultimately leads to increased costs for consumers.

Current solution to the problem

There are limited solutions to goat mortality rates, and most of them are not profitable for small farmers. Current solutions include hiring veterinarians, investing in expensive equipment and drugs, and educating farmers on proper management practices. These solutions are not economically feasible for small farmers and therefore the problem persists.

Reason for the problem

Goat mortality rates often occur due to poor health practices, including improper vaccinations and treatments for disease, poor nutrition, and a lack of proper management practices. Small farmers do not have access to resources such as veterinarians, high quality medicines and expensive equipment. As a result, goat mortality rates remain high in many areas.

• Poor health fish
• Lack of proper nutrition
• Lack of appropriate management practices
• Limited access to veterinarians, high quality drugs and expensive equipment.
