Dear Friends,<br />
<br />
I have stopped my Sheep farming/fattening and engaged in a Manufacturing Industry. I request all blog readers, not to call/consult me for Sheep farming etc. I am busy with another work and unable to attend your enquiry. I incurred loss in goat farming and goats were not accustomed for stalfed farming, later I switched over to sheep fattening and got profits.<br />
<br />
Thank You for following my blog.</div>

The small animals are the most efficient converters of farm and crop residues into excellent organic manure. Several farmers are successfully running stall-fed goat farms and they have found that such an integrated farming venture is most productive and profitable as well.<br />
<br />
Following are the reasons why Stall fed goats are more profitable than open grazed goats<br />
<br />
1. Conservation of Energy, which otherwise the animal would waste its energy in hunting after the fodder. For example, a goat that has to travel farther for feed will have a higher maintenance requirement than goat in a feed lot.<br />
2. Better conversion of energy, available from fed and fodder into flesh and milk.<br />
3. Prevention of indiscriminate grazing, thereby offering optimum scope for re-growth of fodder.<br />
4. Prevention of uncontrolled mating.<br />
5. Better collection and utilization of manure.<br />
6. Control and reduction of parasitic re-infestation.<br />
7. Close supervision and easy management.<br />
8. Easy access for record keeping.<br />
9. No danger from wild animals and predators.kamalakar reddy vangapallyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17268927609012913883noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6884723823114908363.post-41708803541188901892012-04-08T10:59:00.006+05:302012-04-08T11:21:14.857+05:30Why Goat Farming ?<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:view>Normal</w:View> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:punctuationkerning/> <w:validateagainstschemas/> <w:saveifxmlinvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:ignoremixedcontent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:compatibility> <w:breakwrappedtables/> <w:snaptogridincell/> <w:wraptextwithpunct/> <w:useasianbreakrules/> <w:dontgrowautofit/> </w:Compatibility> <w:browserlevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]--> <h2><span style="color:#006600;">Why Goat Farming ? </span></h2> <p class="MsoNormal">1. Goat farming under stall fed condition is profitable.<br />2. They give birth to twins and perhaps triplets.<br />3. Very low capital investment is required for the purchase of goats.<br />4. Goats can be sold at any time and can be en-cashed easily.<br />5. The pregnancy period of the goats is considerably short.<br />6. They are resistant to diseases.<br />7. One goat can give one kg manure per day.<br />8. Goat meet is lean meat (low cholesterol).<br />9. In drought prone areas, risk in goat farming is much less than other<br /> livestock species.<br />10. No religious taboo is against goat slaughter. Moreover, goat meet consumption is prevalent in the country.<br />11. Goat is termed as walking refrigerator for the storage of milk and can be milked<br /> number of times in a day.<br /><br /><b><u><span style="color:#006600;">Comparison of carcase composition of different animal species</span></u></b><br /><br /> <u></u><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:view>Normal</w:View> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:punctuationkerning/> <w:validateagainstschemas/> <w:saveifxmlinvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:ignoremixedcontent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:compatibility> <w:breakwrappedtables/> <w:snaptogridincell/> <w:wraptextwithpunct/> <w:useasianbreakrules/> <w:dontgrowautofit/> </w:Compatibility> <w:browserlevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal";

<strong>Sheep Farming </strong> </div>
<strong>1. Why Sheep Farming ?</strong> <br />
Sheep with its multi-facet utility for wool, meat, milk, skins and manure,
form an important component of rural economy particularly in the arid,
semi-arid and mountainous areas of the country. It provides a dependable source
of income to the shepherds through sale of wool and animals. The advantages of
sheep farming are : <br />
i)Sheep do not need expensive buildings to house them and on the other hand
require less labour than other kinds of livestock.<br />
ii)The foundation stock are relatively cheap and the flock can be multiplied
rapidly. <br />
iii)Sheep are economical converter of grass into meat and wool.<br />
iv)Sheep will eat varied kinds of plants compared to other kind of
livestock. This makes them excellent weed destroyer.<br />
v)Unlike goats, sheep hardly damage any tree.<br />
vi)The production of wool, meat and manure provides three different sources
of income to the shepherd.<br />
vii)The structure of their lips helps them to clean grains lost at harvest
time and thus convert waste feed into profitable products.<br />
viii)Mutton is one kind of meat towards, which there is no prejudice by any
community in <st1:country-region w:st="on">India</st1:country-region> and
further development of superior breeds for mutton production will have a great
scope in the developing economy of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">India</st1:country-region></st1:place>.<br />
<strong>2. Scope for Sheep Farming and Its National Importance</strong>
<br />
2.1 The country has 56.8 million sheep as per 1997 livestock
census and ranks sixth in the world. The statewise sheep population are given
in Annexure I. During 2001-02 wool production stands at the modest level of
50.709 million, skin with wool sheep 524 MT, sheep and goat meat 700500 MT in
2001-02, sheep fresh 52380 MT. The export earnings from different woollen
products during 1994-95 was Rs.25773 million. The contribution of sheep to total
meat production in the country is around 14 percent. The contribution of sheep
through export of meat is 8 percent of the total export value of agricultural
and processed food products. Live sheep are also exported for meat purpose.
Sheep skin in the form of leather and leather products is also exported. <br />
2.2 Sheep make a valuable contribution to the livelihood of the economically
weaker sections of the society. Amongst the livestock owners the shepherds are
the poorest of the lot. <br />
2.3 Realising the importance of sheep in Agrarian economy the Central
Government had established the Central Sheep and Wool Research Institute
(CSWRI) at Avikanagar in Rajasthan. Number of sheep breeding farms were
established during various plan periods throughout the country for evolving (i)
new fine wool breeds for different agro-climatic regions capable of producing
2.5 kg. of greasy wool per annum. (ii) new mutton breeds capable of attaining
30 kg. live weight at 6 months of age under intensive feeding conditions. Sheep
development activities were initiated under :<br />
DPAP, MFAL and SFDA programmes. Intensive Sheep Development Projects
(ISDP's) were introduced in many of the sheep rearing districts. Setting up of
wool boards in important wool producing states was envisaged and States of
Jammu & Kashmir and Karnataka have already set up these boards. Some of the
states have set up wool development corporations / federations. The states
having such organisations are given in Annexure II. <br />
<strong>3.0 Financial assistance available from banks / NABARD for sheep
farming</strong> <br />
3.1 NABARD is an apex institution for all matters relating to policy,
planning and operation in the field of agricultural credit. It serves as
refinancing agency for the institutions providing investment and production credit
for agriculture and rural development. It promotes development through a well
organised Technical Services Department at the Head Office and Technical Cells
at each of the Regional Offices. <br />
3.2 Loan from banks with refinance facility from NABARD is available for
starting sheep farming. For obtaining bank loan, the farmers should apply to
the nearest branch of a Commercial, Co-operative or Regional Rural Bank in
their area in the prescribed application form which is available in the
branches of financing bank. The Technical officer attached to or the Manager of
the bank can help / give guidance to the farmers in preparing the project
report to obtain bank loan. <br />
3.3 For sheep development schemes with very large outlays, detailed reports
will have to be prepared. The beneficiaries may utilise the services of NABARD
Consultancy Services (nabcons) having good experience in developing livestock
projects for preparation of the project report to avail the bank loan for the
items such as purchase of breeding animals, construction of sheds, purchase of
equipments etc. The cost of land is not considered for loan. <br />
<strong>4.0 Scheme Formulation</strong> <br />
A scheme can be prepared by a beneficiary after consulting local technical
persons of State Animal Husbandry Department, DRDA, Sheep development
Corporation, Sheep Co-operative society / union / federation and commercial
farmers. If possible, the beneficiaries should also visit progressive sheep
farmers and government / agricultural university Sheep farms in the vicinity
and discuss the profitability of sheep farming. A good practical training and
experience in sheep farming will be highly desirable. The sheep co-operative
societies established in the villages as a result of efforts by the Sheep
Development Department of State Government / Sheep Development Board would
provide all supporting facilities, particularly marketing of live animals and
wool. Nearness of the sheep farm to such a society, veterinary aid and breeding
centre should be ensured. <br />
The scheme should include information on land, livestock markets,
availability of water, feeds, fodder, veterinary aid, breeding facilities,
marketing aspects, training facilities, experience of the farmer and the type
of assistance available from State Government, Sheep society / union /
federation. <br />
The scheme should also include information on the number of and types of
animals to be purchased, their breeds, production performance, cost and other
relevant input and output costs with their description. Based on this, the
total cost of the project, margin money to be provided by the beneficiary,
requirement of bank loan, estimated annual expenditure, income, profit and loss
statement, repayment period, etc. can be worked out and included in the scheme.
<br />
<strong>5.0 Requirements of a Good Project</strong> <br />
A check list prepared by NABARD for formulation of sheep development schemes
is given in Annexure III. The scheme so formulated should be submitted to the
nearest branch of bank. The bank's officers can assist in preparation of the
scheme or filling in the prescribed application form. The bank will then
examine the scheme for its technical feasibility and economic viability. <br />
<strong>A) Technical Feasibility - This would briefly include</strong> <br />
(a)Nearness of the selected area to veterinary aid, breeding cover and wool
collection centre and the financing bank's branch. <br />
(b)Availability of good quality animals in nearby livestock markets. The
distribution of sheep breeds in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">India</st1:place></st1:country-region>
are given in Annexure IV-a, while the wool production and quality in IV-b.<br />
(c)Source of training facilities. The major institutions providing training

(d)Availability of good grazing ground / lands.<br />
(e)Availability of green/dry fodder, concentrate feed, medicines etc.<br />
(f)Availability of veterinary aid / breeding centres and marketing
facilities near the scheme area.<br />
<strong>B) Economic Viability - This would briefly include</strong> <br />
(a)Unit Cost - The average cost of Sheep units for some of the States is
given in Annexure VI.<br />
(b)Input cost for feeds and fodders, veterinary aid, insurance, shearing
etc.<br />
(c)Output costs i.e. sale price of animals, wool, penning etc.<br />
(d)Income-expenditure statement and annual gross surplus.<br />
(e)Cash flow analysis.<br />
(f)Repayment schedule i.e. repayment of principal loan amount and interest.<br />
Other documents such as loan application forms, security aspects, margin
money requirements etc. are also examined. A field visit to the scheme area is
undertaken for conducting a techno-economic feasibility study for appraisal of
the scheme. The economics of sheep farming is given in Annexure VII. <br />
<strong>6.Sanction of Bank Loan and its Disbursement</strong> <br />
After ensuring technical feasibility and economic viability, the scheme is
sanctioned by the bank. The loan is disbursed in stages against creation of
specific assets such as construction of sheds, purchase of equipments and
animals. The end use of the loan is verified and constant follow-up is done by
the bank. <br />
<strong> 7. Lending Terms - General</strong><br />
<strong>7.1 Unit cost</strong> <br />
Each regional office (R.O.) Of NABARD has constituted a State Level Unit
Cost Committee under the chairmanship of RO-in-charge and with the members from
developmental agencies, commercial banks and cooperative banks to review the
unit cost of various investments once in six months. The same is circulated
among the banks for their guidance. <br />
<strong>7.2 Interest Rate for ultimate borrowers</strong><br />
Banks are free to decide the rate of interest within the overall RBI
guidelines. However for working out financial viabilility and bankability
of the model project we have assumed the rate of interest as 12% p.a.<br />
<strong>7.3 Margin Money</strong> <br />
NABARD has defined the farmers into three different categories and where
subsidy is not available the minimum down payment to be contributed by the
beneficiaries are given in the following table.<br />

<strong>7.4 Security</strong> <br />
Security will be as per NABARD / RBI guidelines issued from time to time. <br />
<strong>7.5 Repayment Period of Loan</strong> <br />
Repayment period depends upon the gross surplus generated. The loans will be
repaid in suitable half yearly / annual instalments usually within a period of
about 5-6 years with a grace period of one year. <br />
<strong>8. Package of Common Management Practices Recommended
for Sheep Farmers</strong> <br />
Modern and well established scientific principles, practices and skills
should be used to obtain maximum economic benefits from sheep farming. Some of
the major norms and recommended practices are given here under <br />
<strong>8.1. Selection and purchase of Animal</strong> <br />
i) It is necessary to select suitable improved breed of sheep available in
particular area.<br />
ii)Crossbred sheep are available for purchase from state Government /
Government of India sheep breeding farms.<br />
iii) Ewes can be purchased in regular sheep markets or from breeders in
villages, while male sheep (rams) of exotic / crossbred from Government farms.<br />
iv) A purchase committee, consisting of the borrower, the financing bank's
representative and a veterinary assistant surgeon may be constituted or else
cash payments could be done to borrower to select his own animals.<br />
v) It is desirable to purchase healthy animals of 12-18 months of age.<br />
vi) A certificate regarding age and health of sheep is obtained from
the veterinary assistant surgeon.<br />
vii)The animals purchased have to be identified by fixing ear tags.<br />
viii) Sheep should be vaccinated for important diseases like sheep-fox and
entero-toxaemia.<br />
ix) The price of sheep depends on breed, age and health status.<br />
x) An entrepreneur should have a unit of 20-30 ewes and one ram.<br />
<strong>8.2 Pregnant, Parturient and Lactating Ewes</strong> <br />
Careful management of the pregnant, parturient and lactating ewes will have
a marked influence on the percentage of lambs dropped and reared successfully.
So, the following steps may be taken to afford proper attention to these
animals. <br />
i)Do not handle the pregnant ewes too frequently.<br />
ii)Separate the advanced pregnant ewes from the main flock and take
effective care in their feeding and management.<br />
iii)Extra feed during the later part of pregnancy (3-4 weeks before
parturition) will be beneficial for the condition of the pre-parturient ewes
which will help in improving milk production of ewes, birth weight and growth
of lambs.<br />
iv) Inadequate and poor nutrition may result in pregnancy, toxaemia,
abortions and premature births of weak lambs.<br />
v) Bring lambing ewes into lambing corals 4-6 days before parturition and
provide maximum comfort. If possible, provide soft, clean bedding and
individual lambing pens.<br />
vi)Watch gestation length which ranges from 142 to over 150 days. Early
maturing breeds have slightly shorter gestation period.<br />
vii) Save parturient ewes from cold and chilly weather.<br />
<strong>8.3 Care at Lambing / Parturition</strong> <br />
An ewe about to lamb prefers to leave the flock. She is restless, the udder
is often distended and external genital are in a flushed and flaccid condition.
Generally in a healthy ewe parturition is normal. Still the following
precautions may be taken during and after parturition. <br />
i)Keep a vigilant eye for dystokia or difficult birth.<br />
ii)Maiden ewes in poor condition or small-framed ewes mated to big rams will
generally have difficulty in parturition and will have to be assisted.<br />
iii)Seek prompt veterinary aid and advice from an experienced shepherd or
stockman in case of dystokia.<br />
iv) Newborn lambs. after being licked by the mother generally stand on their
legs and start seeking for teats and suckle milk. If they are not able to do so
after sufficient time, provide help to them in suckling colostrum (the first
milk) which is very essential for health and survivability of lambs.<br />
v)Save newborn lambs from cold, rain and winds.<br />
vi)Resort to artificial milk feeding or arrange foster mothers to disowned
or orphan lambs. Goats can serve as excellent foster mother but ewes which have
lost their lamb early after birth may also be utilized.<br />
vii) Ligate, sever and antiseptically dress the naval cord of the lamb.<br />
viii)Give a teaspoonful of castor-oil or liquid paraffin to the lamb to
facilitate defecation and passing out of meconium easily.<br />
ix) Do not handle lambs too frequently immediately after birth and let the
dams lick and recognize them properly.<br />
x) Allow newborn lambs to be with their mothers all the 24 hours for first
week or so.<br />
xi) Feed sufficient quantity of good-quality hay and concentrates (if
possible) to the lactating ewes for meeting nutritional requirements for early
lactation.<br />
xii) Provide plenty of clean fresh drinking water as the lactating ewes
drink surprisingly higher amount of water during lactation.<br />
<strong>8.4 Care of Lambs</strong> <br />
The lamb should be taken care of the maximum extent during early period of
life. This will also ensure better survival. The following steps may be taken
for ensuring better growth and survival. <br />
i) Ensure proper suckling of lambs. Examine udders for blindness of teats or
mastitis.<br />
ii)Take care of indifferent mothers and arrange suckling of lambs by
restraining such type of ewes.<br />
iii)Provide creep feed (good quality hay with or without concentrate
mixture) to suckling lambs in addition to suckling of milk from tenth day to
weaning age.<br />
iv) If possible, make available green leguminous fodder or fresh tree leaves
to lambs to nibble during suckling period.<br />
v)Lambs may be ear-tagged or tattooed on the ear for identification
(tattooing forceps and ear-tagging forceps should also be cleaned and
sterilized at the time of use). Tail docking and castration may also be done in
first week or so by placing elastrator (strong rubber band) at the
intervertebral space and not on the vertebra.<br />
vi) Alternatively use sterilized and clean knife for castration and docking
and resort to proper ligation and antiseptic dressing at the roof of scrotum
with testicles before it.<br />
vii) During castration keep the lambs on perfectly dry, clean and hygienic
site so as to minimize the risks of losses from tetanus.<br />
<strong>8.5 Weaning and Care of Weaners</strong> <br />
The management of Weaners plays an important part in good sheep husbandry.
The following steps are important in proper care and management of weaners. <br />
i) Weaning should preferably be done at 90 days, although in breeds with
low milk production or where re-breeding is desired it can be done around 60
days.<br />
ii) Supplementary feeding and good clean pastures for growing weaners should
be provided. The nutrient requirements for growing lambs and adult ewes are
given in Annexure VII-a.<br />
iii) Weaned lambs should be drenched against gastro-intestinal parasites by
first month; and vaccinated against enterotoxaemia and sheep-pox.<br />
iv) Weaners should not be grazed on poor burry and thorny types of pasture
since it could cause skin irritation, injury to the eyes and damage to wool.<br />
v) They should be protected against vagaries of climates and predation.<br />
<strong>8.6 Housing and Shelter Management</strong> <br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
i) Normally sheep do not require elaborate housing facilities but
minimum provisions will definitely increase productivity, especially protection
against inclement weather conditions (sun, rain and winds) and predation. Shed
could be provided with gunny bags or temporary or removable protections made of
thatching material and bamboos. The roof of the shed should be made of the
asbestos sheet supported by tubular or angular steel, but wooden rafters and
thatching material could also be used.<br />
ii) Exotics should be provided 0.9-1.1 m2 and native and crossbred sheep
0.8-0.9 m2 space per head. Sheds measuring 18m x 6m can accommodate about 120
sheep.<br />
iii) A chain link fencing or thorny bush enclosure of 12m x 6m can be
provided for night paddocking of sheep on each side of the shed.<br />
<strong>8.7 Culling</strong> <br />
Culling of sheep is very important for the development of a good flock. It
helps to remove undesirable animals and breeding from those which are most
approximating the ideal sheep. About 10-20 per cent culling should be practised
annually to develop a good flock. The flock size should be maintained by
replacing culled ewes by ewe lambs born in the flock. <br />
<strong>8.8 Maintenance of Records</strong> <br />
It is very essential to maintain the necessary records at an organised
(experimental or commercial) sheep farm to know obout the inputs and outputs.
This helps in working out the economy of sheep production per unit of area and
per animal. The following records should be maintained : livestock strength,
breeding, lambing, shearing, wool production, mortality, purchase of animal
feeds, medicines, sale of animals and wool. <br />
<strong>8.9 Identification</strong> <br />
The shepherds commonly practice notching or phunching holes in the ears for
identification of lambs. Tattooing is also satisfactory but is more expensive.
Metal or plastic ear-tags with stamped letters and numbers are most suitable
although they are relatively expensive and heavy for the ears of the smaller
native sheep. These ear-tags are applied with the help of a clincher. <br />
<strong>8.10 Dipping</strong> <br />
To control the ectoparasites the sheep should be dipped a few weeks after
shearing when they have grown sufficient new wool to hold the chemical
substance. There are standard designs for sheep dips and there are many
products effective against ectoparasites. A foot-bath may also be provided at
the entrance of the farm to prevent the spread of contagious diseases like
foot-and-mouth and footrot. <br />
<strong>8.11</strong> <strong>Health Management</strong> <br />
The health management calendar given in Annexure VIII may be followed for
better health of stock. <br />
<strong>8.12 Shearing</strong> <br />
i)Shearing is done mechanically either with clippers, a pair of scissors or
by power-operated machines depending upon the size of operations. <br />
ii)Most flocks are usually shorn twice a year, i.e. March-April after
the winter and September-October after the rains. In some states like Jammu
& Kashmir and Rajasthan sheep are shorn thrice a year.<br />
<strong>9. Marketing of Wool and Animals</strong> <br />
i)The wool and meat sector in the country is small and widely scattered.
This is the sector, where organised sector and decentralised sector run
complimentary to each other towards meeting the requirements of all sections of
the domestic market as well as export. The sector is very loosely knit and
heterogenous. Taking the due cognizance of these complexities in the wool
sector the Government of India has constituted the Central Wool Development
Board in the Ministry of Texties for the overall growth and development of this
sector. The State Governments have also set up separate corporation/Federation
to encorage the sector.<br />
ii) Shepherds generally market wool and animals, through rural agents
on the basis of rough estimates of weights. The animals are also sold in
village weekly markets, where shepherds are exploited to a great extent. <br />
iii) State Governments through sheep corporation, board and federation
have also set up sheep co-operative societies which also purchase wool and
animals on weight basis and shepherds are paid better prices.<br />

<td style="padding: .75pt .75pt .75pt .75pt;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;">Few
countries in the world have no sheep. They are found in tropical countries
and in the arctic, in hot climates and in the cold, on the desert and in
humid areas. There are over 800 breeds of sheep in the world, in a variety of
sizes, shapes, types and colours.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;">Sheep
were domesticated long before the dawn of recorded history. Wool fibres have
been found in remains of primitive villages of <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Switzerland</st1:place></st1:country-region> that date back an
estimated 20000 years. Egyptian sculpture dating 4000-5000 B.C. portrays the
importance of this species to people. Much mention is made in the Bible of
flocks, shepherds, sacrificial lambs, and garments made of wool. The <st1:place w:st="on">Roman empire</st1:place> prized sheep, anointed them with special
oils, and combed their fleece to produce fine quality fibres that were woven
into fabric for the togas of the elite.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;">Perhaps
the first ruminants domesticated by man along with goats, sheep are a very
valuable and important asset to mankind.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;">Domesticated
sheep : phylum <i>Chordata</i> (backbone), class <i>Mammalia</i> (suckle
their young), order <i>Artiodactyla </i>(hooved, even-toed<i>)</i>, family <i>Bovidae</i>(ruminants),
genus <i>Ovis</i> (domestic and wild sheep), and species <i>Ovis aries</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><u><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Domestication:-</span></u></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">"It
is hard to imagine a wild animal more readily tamed than wild sheep"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;">Little
is known about the original selection and domestication of sheep, but they
are thought to have descended from wild types like the Moufflon, a
short-tailed sheep. Wild varieties in Europe and <st1:place w:st="on">Asia</st1:place>
probably served as foundation stock to produce wool, meat, skins and milk. It
appears that selection practices not only removed most of the wild instincts,
leaving the species completely dependant on people for management and
protection, but the tail also lengthened. Nearly all domestic sheep today
have long tails before docking.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;">As
weaving and felting began to develop as an important element in the
advancement of civilization, more definite types and breeds of sheep began to
emerge to produce quality fibres at the expense of other traits. The Merino
breed of <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Spain</st1:place></st1:country-region>
developed into one of the first recognizable fine wool breeds. It was so
prized that the King of Spain made it a crime punishable by death to send any
out of the country without his permission.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;">The
English also developed many breeds very early that would adapt to their
varying climate. Domestic sheep were foreign to the New World and were first
introduced by <st1:city w:st="on">Columbus</st1:city> on his second voyage in
1493 to the <st1:place w:st="on">West Indies</st1:place>. Cortez brought
sheep into <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Mexico</st1:place></st1:country-region>
in 1519, and Spanish missionaries contributed to their popularity through the
teaching of weaving arts to the Indians.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;">The
taxonomy and nomenclature of sheep and goats is very complicated, esp. that
of sheep where altogether at least 40 wild races have been described. There
are, however, eight basic taxonomic groups of sheep that may be summarized as
follows:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;">
Ovis nivicola (Siberian snow
sheep)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">
Ovis aries (domestic sheep)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Ovis musimon (European mouflon)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">
Ovis orientalis (Asiatic mouflon)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Ovis dalli (dall or thin-horned sheep)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Ovis canadensis (bighorn sheep)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Ovis ammon (arkhar-argali / Marco Polo sheep)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Ovis vignei (urial)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;">Sheep
in <st1:country-region w:st="on">India</st1:country-region> and Arabia have
originated from their wild ancestor <i>Ovis orientale vignei</i> …
domesticated in the mountains of <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region>, Turkistan &
Balochistan. Reference to their role in the economy of mankind is found in
the history of civilization of Mesopotamia, Mohenjodaro and <st1:place w:st="on">Harappa</st1:place>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;">Wild
sheep of various races have similar social behaviour. Males older than two
years are normally found in groups of their own, segregated from the females
and juveniles. They follow the largest horned ram in their band and females
follow one of the mature lambed females.</span></div>

<i><u><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Advantages of sheep farming</span></u></i><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">:-</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 18.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">1.</span><span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Multi-faceted utility
: meat, wool, skin, manure, and to some extent milk & transport … helps it
to play an important role in the Indian agrarian economy</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 18.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">2.</span><span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">The production of
wool, meat and manure provides three different sources of income per year</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 18.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">3.</span><span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Since the two major
products of sheep (wool and mutton) are entirely different in their production
and utilization, the price of one may not necessarily have a bearing on the
other. Wool may be stored and held for higher prices or sold at shearing time.
A crop of lambs may be marketed from 5-6 months onwards (preferably before one
year), bringing rather a quick return.</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 18.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">4.</span><span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Mutton is one kind of
meat towards which there is no prejudice by any community in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">India</st1:place></st1:country-region></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 18.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">5.</span><span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">In addition to wool,
mutton and to some extent milk, sheep provide employment to about 3 million
people in the form of self-employment, as hired labour for tending flocks
during migration, and persons engaged in wool shearing and in wool and skin
processing. Furthermore, sheep farming is a logical source of livelihood in arid
zones where crop production is an uncertainty and thus it suitably fits into
desert development programmes in vogue by protecting them from the vagaries of
drought and famine.</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 18.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">6.</span><span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Most suitable of the
small ruminants to utilize the sparse vegetation in dryland areas through
rangeland management and developed (reseeded) pasture</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 18.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">7.</span><span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Unlike goats, sheep
hardly damage any tree</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 18.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">8.</span><span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Better adapted to
arid and semi-arid tropics with marginal and sub-marginal lands, otherwise
unfit for crops, due to their superior water & feed (esp. protein) economy</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 18.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">9.</span><span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Since sheep eat more
different type of plants than any other kind of livestock, they can turn waste
into profit and at the same time improve the appearance of many farms (i.e.
excellent weed destroyer).</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 18.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">10.</span><span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Sheep dung is a valuable
fertilizer, and since they are grazed on sub-marginal lands, their droppings
are the only means of improving the growth of plants in such areas</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><u><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Unique characteristics of sheep:-</span></u></i></div>
<div style="margin-left: 18.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">1.</span><span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Strong herd instincts
of sheep make them excellent ranch animals as they keep together in tight and
easily managed flocks and do not disperse widely all over the available land,
which would make it difficult to protect them from predators and difficult to
round up.</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 18.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">2.</span><span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Excellent ability to
survive over a prolonged period of drought and semi-starvation</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 18.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">3.</span><span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Sheep have the
ability to produce prime carcasses on roughage alone, thus they are well
adapted to many areas unable to produce grain profitably.</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 18.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">4.</span><span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">The structure of
their lips helps them to clean grains lost at harvest time, and thus convert
waste feed into profitable products</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 18.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">5.</span><span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Less prone to extreme
weather conditions, ectoparasites as well as other diseases</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 18.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">6.</span><span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Unique ever-growing
fibre which allows ventilation and also protects the skin from the hot sun,
rain and abrasions</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 18.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">7.</span><span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Sheep can also
constrict or relax blood vessels in the face, legs and ear for control of heat
loss</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 18.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">8.</span><span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Their visual sense is
exceedingly well-developed ….. they can discern movement far better than
humans, but cannot distinguish shapes as well as man</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 18.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">9.</span><span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Sheep do not need
expensive buildings to house them</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 18.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">10.</span><span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Sheep require less labour than
other kinds of livestock</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 18.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Because
of their hardiness and adaptability to dry conditions, the north-western and
southern peninsular regions of the country have a large concentration of sheep.
In the tropics, they are non-seasonal breeders and can be made to lamb
throughout the year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;">Because
of their close grazing nature and ability to utilize very low-set vegetation
which no other animal can utilize and their capacity to cover long distances in
search of forage and water, they have often been generally associated with
desertification. In reality, it is not the sheep but the man who owns the
sheep, who is to be blamed for the misconceived management of the grazing
lands, leading to desertification. Rather, a controlled and judicious grazing
on the non-cultivable land could prevent soil erosion and make it fertile and
suitable for crop production through sheep dropping collected over the years.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;">There
is great variation in the external characteristics of sheep, manifested in the
number and form of horns in the shape and size of ears, in an arching of nasal
bones in some types, in length of tail and in the development of great masses
of fat at the base of the tail and other posterior parts of the body. There are
extreme variations too in colour of the face and other parts not covered with
wool. Great variations exist in the quality and colour of the fleece. These
variations have provided the basis for improving sheep for different products
viz. wool, mutton and pelt. Variations in wool were pronounced with respect to
colour, staple length, fineness and other characteristics. The wool on the
shoulder is finer than that grows on the thigh, belly and around the tail. Wool
that grows on the folds in the skin is likely to be considerably coarser than
that which grows between the folds.</span></div>

<b><u><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;">IMPORTANCE
OF SHEEP PRODUCTION IN NATIONAL ECONOMY</span></u></b><b><u><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Sheep
is a important livestock species of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">India</st1:country-region></st1:place>. They contribute greatly to
the agrarian economy, especially in the arid/semi-arid and mountainous areas
where crop and /or dairy farming are not economical. They play an important
role in the livelihood of a large percentage of small and marginal farmers and
landless labourers engaged in sheep rearing. A number of rural-based industries
use wool and sheep skins as raw material. Sheep manure is an important source
of soil fertility, especially in southern states.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;">Sheep
in India are mostly maintained on natural vegetation on common grazing lands,
wastelands and uncultivated (fallow) lands, stubbles of cultivated crops and
top feeds (tree loppings). Rarely are they kept on grain, cultivated fodder or
crop residue.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;">Sheep
are mostly reared for wool and meat. Sheep skins and manure constitute
important sources of earning, the latter particularly in southern <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">India</st1:place></st1:country-region>. Milk
from sheep is of limited importance and that too in very limited areas of <st1:state w:st="on">Jammu and Kashmir</st1:state>, Rajasthan and <st1:place w:st="on">Gujarat</st1:place>.
Indian sheep are not regarded as dairy sheep.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;">The
productivity of Indian sheep is lower than those of agriculturally more
advanced countries. Yet considering their nutritional and physical environment,
their productivity cannot be considered as inefficient. The major reasons for
low productivity are inadequate grazing resources, diseases causing high
mortality, morbidity and consequent reduced production, and serious lack of
organized effort for bringing genetic improvement.</span></div>

<b><i><u><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Productivity</span></u></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Sheep
in the Northern temperate region produce wool of good apparel quality.
Similarly, in climatically alike areas of southern hills, the Nilgiri sheep
also produce wool of similar quality. This, however, goes down as we move from
Northern temperate to North-western region where sheep produce wool of superior
to coarse quality. Sheep of Southern peninsular region either produce no wool
or very little of 36s quality and are primarily used for meat production. Same
is the position in Eastern region as the area is of very high humidity and is
not suitable for extensive sheep raising, especially for wool. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;">Colour
of fleece is generally white in the North-western hilly region, though black is
not uncommon. Black and brown colour appears in greater proportion as we move
towards North-west. In North-western plains containing arid and semi-arid
sub-tropical conditions, fleece colour is again predominantly white with black
and brown mostly on non-fleece points such as head and neck. In this region,
problems of canary colouration of wool (non-scourable golden yellow colour) is
usually observed in the autumn season. This results in almost 82% canary
staining of the autumn clip which fetches 8-20% lower price resulting into a
loss of about 1.5 crores per annum. A biological phenomenon of this colouration
is presumed to be a sequel to an adaptive thermo-regulatory mechanism in hot
and humid climatic conditions which requires dissipation of body heat through
cutaneous evaporative cooling. The alkaline sweat under the conditions of high
temperature and humidity reacts with wool fibres and thus causes the yellow
colouration.</span></div>

<i><u><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Grazing management and Migratory patterns</span></u></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">In
spite of a number of sheep development activities in operation in different
states of the country, sheep rearing still continues to be a nomadic/backward
proposition and thus mostly concerned to poor and landless people. For scanty
suitable grazing lands in most of the states, the shepherds keep on migrating
their flocks over extensive areas within or even in the neighbouring states.
Sheep rearing is thus practiced in a diversified form depending upon the region
and the location. In Rajasthan, around 5 lakh sheep are in permanent migration
where the flocks do not return to their home tract at any time of the year. The
shepherds, however, keep on relieving one another and return home in turn.
These sheep are mainly grazed in MP, UP and parts of Rajasthan.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;">Generally
there are two types of migratory flocks:-</span></div>

resources.</span></div>

returning to their permanent abodes during other seasons.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 11pt;">·</span><span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Sheep are grazed on
fallow lands during monsoon and after the Kharif crops are harvested on
stubbles in the harvested fields</span></div>

pods is also common</span></div>

</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">During extreme summer
months of the year, the flocks are grazed in the cooler hours of the day;
grazing starts in the late hours of the day and the animals are brought to the
water points some time in the noon hours of the following day. Animals are
rested during the hotter part of the day between noon to around 4-5 PM.</span></div>

<b><u>GOAT PRODUCTION IN <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">INDIA</st1:place></st1:country-region></u></b><br />

population in the world. In the prevailing socio-economic conditions in the
country where per capita land holding is hardly 0.2 Ha, goat rearing becomes an
inseparable component of mixed farming system. Goat farming has been
recommended as the best choice for the rural people in developing countries
because of the low investment, wide adaptability, high fertility and fecundity,
low feed and management needs, high feed conversion efficiency, quick pay-off
and low risk involved. Goats play an important role in income generation,
capital storage, employment generation and improving household nutrition.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;">Goat
rearing is the backbone of the economy of small and landless farmers in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">India</st1:place></st1:country-region>. It is an
insurance against crop failure and provides alternate source of livelihood to

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;">The
controversy over goats is on damage it causes to the environment, predominantly
due to its browsing nature. On one hand, the goat is accused as the major cause
of deforestation and soil erosion, and on the other hand, it is claimed as a
useful animal for poor people and is responsible for clearing the bushes and
making the land worthy of cultivation. The goat’s bad reputation arises mainly
from its mismanagement by man rather than any inherent fault. Nevertheless, the
trend is slowly changing, and several states are now encouraging goat
husbandry.</span></div>

<u><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Production Systems</span></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">In
our country, goats are reared by men and women with diverse working and
professional background. The production systems are as numerous as the
socio-economic and varied agricultural situations in the country. However, they
can be broadly classified into the following:-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">a)</span><span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Tethering : This is common in the
sub-humid and humid zones, where probably because of intensive cropping, it is
a convenient means of rearing goats from the stand point of control, minimum
labour input and utilization of feed <i>in situ</i>. It is thus a sedentary
system. A variation of this method is combining tethering with grazing up to 5
goats at a time, led by ropes held by women and children.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">b)</span><span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Extensive production : This
involves low carrying capacity in situations where land is marginal and is
plentiful. It is characterized by low rainfall and various browse plants. The
system is used by nomadic people, usually in very low rainfall areas or during
winter months when crop resides are available.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">c)</span><span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Intensive production : The goats
are fed in confinement with limited access to land. It involves high labour and
cash inputs. Cultivated grasses and agro-industrial byproducts are fed <i>in
situ</i>. This system also has the advantage of allowing control over the
animals.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">d)</span><span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Semi-intensive production : This
system is practiced to some degree in most of the situations, but the nature
and extent of integration depend on the type of crops grown and their
suitability to goats. The advantages of this system are increased fertility of
land via the return of dung and urine, control of waste herbage growth, reduced
fertilizer usage, easier crop management, increased crop yields, and greater
economic returns.</span></div>

<u><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Status of Goat industry</span></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">The
goat industry in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">India</st1:place></st1:country-region>
has yet to be firmly laid down on scientific lines. Goat keepers are
maintaining goats in all kinds of situations depending upon the ecology and
their circumstances. The minimum goat unit could consist of one goat and the
maximum could go to a few hundreds under range management. Goat farming in the
country is mainly based on ‘zero input’. The fear of mortality has perhaps been
largely responsible for not starting many large-scale goat farms. However,
large-scale goat farms have successfully running since over last 30 years at
the CSWRI Avikanagar, MPKVV Rahuri, and at Leh.</span></div>

<b><span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">The country
has about 40 breeds of sheep out of which 24 are distinct. They vary from the
non-woolly breeds of sheep in the Southern Peninsular region mainly kept for
mutton and manure to the reasonably fair apparel wool breeds of the Northern
temperate region.</span></b><b><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div style="mso-outline-level: 4; text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">If we follow
the breed classification in strict sense, there are no specific breeds, as
majority of them lack characteristics of a fixed nature. Neither are there
breeding societies nor agencies to register animals of particular breeds,
maintain flock books and ensure purity of the breeds. Animals with distinct characters
localized to a place and different from those of other places are termed as
breeds and give some local name. There have been little efforts to conserve and
improve the native breeds except for some Govt farms. Some important breeds of
sheep are maintained for pure-breeding and producing stud rams for distribution
to the farmers. Most of the breeds of sheep in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">India</st1:place></st1:country-region> have evolved through natural
adaptation to agro-ecological conditions, followed by some limited artificial
selection for particular requirements. Most of the breeds have generally been
named after their place of origin and on the basis of prominent characters.
Among the most widely distributed native sheep breeds, Marwari and Deccani are
most prevalent.</span></i></b><b><i><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>

<b><i><span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">The origin of various strains and breeds of fine wool sheep of the
present time traces to sheep of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Spain</st1:country-region></st1:place>.
Selection within the Merino group has resulted in large varieties of breeds and
strains. In addition, Merino has been widely used in the development of many
other crossbred wool breeds.</span></i></b><b><i><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>

<b><i><span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Merino is s a thin-tailed, fine wool breed that is adapted to arid
environment. Because of their banding instinct, they are easy to herd. They are
good grazers and are able to forage over large areas of poor and sparse
rangelands. Merinos have a strong constitution and are known for hardiness and
longevity. Their face and legs are white and skin is pink. Rams mostly have
heavy, spiral horns, whereas ewes are polled. Head and legs are generally
covered with wool. They have long been bred for wool production and do not
carry the straight line and compactness of mutton breeds.</span></i></b><b><i><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>

<b><i><span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Mature rams weigh about 75 kg and ewes about 65 kg. height of ram
and ewe is about 70 cm and 60 cm, respectively. Fleece production varies widely
depending on the environmental conditions and time of breeding, but average is
4-5 kg for rams and 3-4 kg for ewes. The staple length is 5-10 cm. Merino tends
to be a seasonal breeder and this results in low prolificacy and poor lamb
crop.</span></i></b><b><i><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>

<b><i><span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Karakul is very well adapted to the extreme climatic conditions
and sparse vegetation resources. The lamb pelts are produced through the
slaughter of lambs within 24-48 hrs of birth or through killing of unborn lambs
removed by slaughter/abortion of mothers at around 130-140 days of pregnancy.
The latter type of pelts, known as “broad (fat) tailed Persian” are twice more
valuable than the best type produced by the former method. The quality of the
pelt is determined by the ornamental type of curls, size and tightness of
curls, lustre and weight of pelt.</span></i></b><b><i><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Thus it is evident that the sheep rearing industry in this country
still remains in its primitive stage, and there is tremendous scope for
improvement through the application of breeding principles. Sheep research and
development activity was taken up as early as in the early 19<sup>th</sup>
century by the East India Company, which imported exotic breeds of sheep for
crossbreeding with indigenous breeds. Subsequently, the Imperial (now Indian)
Council of Agricultural Research took up selective breeding with indigenous
breeds and cross-breeding them with exotic fine wool breeds. Major emphasis on
sheep R&D was, however, given after the country started the Five Year
Development Plans. During the Third Five Year Plan, a large number of sheep and
wool extension centres were established. Wool grading and marketing programme
was initiated in Rajasthan which was subsequently taken up in a number of other
states.</span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Realizing the importance of sheep in agrarian economy, the central
Govt. established the Central Sheep & Wool Research Institute (CSWRI) at
Avikanagar, Rajasthan along with its regional stations in 1962 under an UNDP
& GOI project to take up fundamental and applied research in sheep
production and wool utilization and imparting post-graduate training in sheep
and wool sciences.</span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">During the Fourth Plan, a large Sheep Breeding Farm in
collaboration with the Australian Govt. was established at Hissar for
pure-breeding Corriedale sheep. Corriedale stud rams are being distributed from
this farm to a number of states for cross-breeding for improving wool and
mutton production. Another seven large sheep breeding farms were established in
J&K, UP, MP, <st1:place w:st="on">Bihar</st1:place>, AP and Karnataka for
producing exotic pure-bred or cross-bred rams.</span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">The ICAR started two All India Coordinated Research Projects on
Sheep for Fine Wool with centres at Sheep Breeding Farm, Tal, Hamirpur (HP),
Sheep Breeding Research Station, Sandynallah (TN) <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Gujarat</st1:placename> <st1:placename w:st="on">Agricultural</st1:placename>

CSWRI Avikanagar (Rajasthan); and for Mutton with centres at Livestock Research
Station, APAU, Palamner, National Goat Research Institute, Makhdoom, Mahatma
Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri and CSWRI Avikanagar. These projects aim at
evolving (i) new fine wool breeds for different agro-climatic regions capable
of producing 2.5 kg of greasy wool annually of 58-64s count, (ii) new mutton
breeds capable of attaining 30 kg live weight at 6 months under intensive
feeding conditions.</span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">During the Fifth Five Year Plan, a large number of breeding farms
were envisaged to be established in the Central and State sectors for producing
genetically superior breeding stock. Setting up of wool boards in important
wool producing states was also envisaged and states of Rajasthan, <st1:place w:st="on">Gujarat</st1:place> and Karnataka have already set up these boards.</span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">A centrally sponsored scheme for conservation of threatened breeds
was started during Tenth Five Year Plan, which included Bannur and Bonpala

<b><span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Selection

with any breeding programme. Appearance of the animal alone is not is not
always a reliable guide to its breeding value as its appearance depends on the
inheritance it has received from its parents and on the environment in which it
grows up. It is, therefore, necessary to correctly estimate the breeding value
of the individual which depends on the accuracy in selecting the animals as per
the defined objectives.</span></b><b><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

</span></b><b><span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Weaning weight : The age at weaning can vary according to
the conditions under which the animals are reared, but 120 days has been taken
as the standard. This measure, though taken individually, can also be used to
express lamb production of ewes on a per head basis or per 100 kg ewe-weight
basis, depending on conditions. Lambs can be weighed at 120 days age or in case
they are weaned earlier, the weaning weights are corrected to 120 days age.
This is done by multiplying the daily average weight gain with 120 and adding the
product to the birth weight. Similarly, adjustment has to be made for twins and
triplets as their weaning weights are likely to be less than that of singles,
due to less availability of milk ad maternal care. Weaning weight may be
adjusted to single-lamb-basis by for the purpose of valid genetic studies by
multiplying the adjusted 120 day weight by the factors 1.0529 for twins and
1.0923 for triplets. Ram lambs and lambs of mature dams have been observed to
have higher weaning weight. </span></b><b><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

</span></b><b><span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Post-weaning gain in body weight : This is medium to highly

reflect market value to a great extent. With sheep, attention should be given

efficiency of gains. Subjective appraisals of type through a system of scoring

defects such as wool blindness, skin folds, over-shot jaws, under-shot jaws,

traits relished universally. In advanced countries, there is a preference for
greater proportion of lean to fat. As carcass quality can be tested at present
only by slaughtering the animal (thus making it unusable for breeding), the

<h3>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Fleece characteristics : Roughly 20% of the income from
sheep enterprise is from wool. Thus, wool production is an important component
from the economic standpoint. Fleece with high wool weight, long staple length
and uniformly fine fibres will be most valuable. Increase in staple length has
been associated with increase in fleece weight. For every 1cm increase in
staple length, approx. 0.27 kg increase in grease wool and 0.18 kg increase in
clean wool has been observed. Selection of heavy fleece weights has been found
to improve ability of feed consumption and feed efficiency for wool production.
Excessive growth of wool on the face covers the eyes, causing wool blindness,
which affects ha animal's grazing ability. Wool-blind sheep have been found to
produce less number of lambs and wean less kilograms of lamb than open-faced
sheep.</span></h3>

Good depth is an important feature. It should drop in a gradual curve from the
point where the abdomen unites with the chest, i.e. a little way behind the
forelegs, and then rise slightly again to meet the udder. The back should be
level from the shoulders to the hips and then drop slightly at the tail region.
The hips are often slightly higher than the shoulder, but this need not be
regarded as a defect. An excessive dip in the back, however, is highly
undesirable. Plenty of length from the head to the tail is a desirable feature.</span><o:p></o:p></i></b></div>

The ribs should be well sprung so as to give a barrel effect; flat sides are a
common fault. The abdomen should not be protruding beyond the width of the
ribs, so that its roundness is not affected.</span><o:p></o:p></i></b></div>

: There should be sufficient width across the hips and the rump, and between
the pin bone and the hocks. The hind-legs should face straight forward and not
outward; the latter tendency is one of the commonest defects in goats resulting
in the so-called ‘cow hocks’. There should be a slight rise from the back to
the hips and a gradual drop from the rump to the tail. A sharp drop from the
hips to the tail is regarded as a defect.</span><o:p></o:p></i></b></div>

</span></i></b><b><i><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Udder
and teats : The udder should be carried well under the body. When viewed from
the side it should be in front of the hind-legs. It should be large, but its
size should be proportional to the size of the goat. The skin of the udder is
usually covered partly with fine, soft and pliable hair. The texture of the
udder should be reasonably soft. Heavy milk production is associated with the
amount of milk-secreting tissue. The udder should undergo considerable
shrinkage after milking. Milk ducts and teats should be entirely free from hard
lumps (indicating chronic inflammation), these being sometimes discovered only
after milking. The teats should be quite separate from the udder with a distinct
line of demarcation, point downward and slightly forward, and be of moderate
length and of suitable size to be conveniently held in the hand during milking.
Large milk-veins should be present under the belly and lead to the udder. These
veins, although usually better developed in old goats, indicate superior milch
quality. The shape of the udder in the Indian breeds varies considerably. The
occurrence of four milking quarters, all lending themselves to being used in
milking, is not uncommon in Jamunapari goats.</span><o:p></o:p></i></b></div>

lambs should be docked before they are 2 weeks of age. Docking is accomplished
by severing the tail, preferably between the vertebrae. The tail should be
removed at the end of the caudal folds on the underside of the tail, one inch

pocket knife, an emasculator, emasculatome (Burdizzo), elastrator (rubber

<b><i><span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">The feeding
and grazing conditions vary from place to place. The most favorable grazing
time is soon after the onset of monsoon till the onset of winter. Grazing
resources become extremely poor during summer months. During this period
supplementary feeding should be done. Sheep generally thrive well on pasture.
Attention should be paid on pasture improvement and management. Rotational
grazing should be followed to avoid worm infection and unthriftiness, and to ensure
availability of good pasture all the time. The fodder should be conserved in
the form of hay and silage for the lean period. Fodder trees should be planted
in the pasture to provide shade and fodder during the lean period to the
grazing flocks. Supplementary feeding of concentrate should be done depending
upon the physiological status and availability of grazing resource in the
pasture.</span></i></b><b><i><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>

of sheep very depending upon its physiological status and ambient temperature
in different seasons. The sheep should be watered at least once a day at the
rate of 2-3 litres per head per day. The requirement of water for crossbreds
during summer months will be slightly more and may range between 5-6 litres.
The younger ones may require 1-2 litres of water every day. Sheep breeds in
arid regions have good adaptation to water restriction upto 48 hrs. Watering
should be done in metallic troughs or cements channels.</span></i></b><b><i><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>

no feed equal to the ewe’s milk for putting rapid gains on young lamb because
dam’s milk yield is closely related to early growth of lamb. Lambs depend
entirely on dam’s milk upto 2 weeks. Colostrum is rich in fat, protein,
vitamins etc. and contains antibodies to protect the lamb from infections. If
the ewes are fed good ration during the last six weeks of gestation, it enhances
milk production.</span></i></b><b><i><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>

attain good growth at about 24 months (range 18-36) of age. Breeding too young
ewes results in more weaklings and higher lamb losses. It is desirable to use
rams for mating from the age of 2 years till the age of 7 years.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

are three main breeding seasons viz. summer (Mar-Apr), autumn (Jun-Jul) and
post-monsoon (Sep-Oct). In general, higher fertility is observed in autumn
season in the plains and in summer season in the hilly areas. The ewes usually
come in heat about 2 months after lambing. The duration of the estrus cycle is
17 days (range 14-19) and heat period lasts for 27 hours (2-60). Ovulation
occurs about 12 hours before the end of heat period.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

sheep in heat show few external indications of estrus other than standing to be
mounted, heat is generally detected with the help of a teaser. Wet paint (dye
mixed in grease or linseed oil) can be smeared on the brisket of the teaser ram
to spot the ewes in estrus. The colour of the dye should be changed every 16-18
days so that the repeaters can be discovered. Other indications of estrus are
vulvar swelling, frequent urination, restlessness and reduced appetite.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

years, may be allowed to serve 50-60 does in a breeding season.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

better to breed the female once a year. Some goats can be made to kid twice in
18 months. Most does come in heat in September and March. The buck is sexually
more active in winter and spring. The duration of the estrus cycle varies from
18-21 days. Duration of estrus is about 36 hours. The best time of
mating/insemination is 10-12 hours after the onset of heat and a second service
again after 10 hours if heat continues.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

in the doe usually are uneasiness, redness and swelling of the vulva, frequent

urination, frequent bleating, mounting by other does, sudden drop in milk yield
and mucous discharge from the vulva.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">Normally sheep and
goats do not require elaborate housing facilities, but minimum provisions will
definitely increase productivity, especially protection against inclement
weather conditions and predation. Often, the flocks are penned in the open
during fair weather and some temporary shelters are made use of in monsoon and
winter. Sheep can be economically reared under ranch system. Requirements of
building units are more or less the same for sheep and goats, except that
additional buildings are required for goats reared for milk.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">The shed site
should be easily approachable and spacious, dry, elevated, well-drained and
protected from strong winds. An East-West orientation ensures cooler
environment. A “lean-to” type of shed, located against the side of an existing
building, is the cheapest form of building. Loose housing is more advantageous
as compared to conventional/stall-fed sheds because it is suitable for
semi-arid regions and large-sized flocks, it involves less expenditure, it
provides more comfort to the animals, it is less labour-intensive, and it
provides freedom of movement and gives the benefit of exercise. Stilted housing
is common in areas with heavy rainfall.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">When an individual sheep is affected with
scab or badly affected with maggots and has open wounds, dipping is not
advisable. In such animals, a small quantity of dip is poured into the
fleece along the back, sides and belly to achieve the objectives of dipping.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">Spraying sheep with a fly repellant
insecticide solution over the backs and sides is an effective method of
controlling ectoparasites in tropical countries. In developed countries,
fly-repellant solution is sprayed in the form of a fine mist through a series
of nozzles into a roomy tunnel through which the sheep are forced to pass.
However, spraying can be done with the help of a power sprayer or hand sprayer
in case of small flocks. Spraying is not as economical or efficient as dipping
and is recommended only for young lambs which cannot be dipped.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Morbidity
and mortality are the two important factors resulting in heavy losses in sheep
production and improvement programmes. Prevention is always better than cure as
it is a lot cheaper. This has special significance with sheep as they seem to
respond less to treatment when sick than other livestock species. Diseases in
sheep can be broadly classified as non-infectious and infectious.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

</span><u><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Non-infectious
diseases</span></u></div>
<div style="margin-left: 18.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Approximately 80% of deaths in lambs have been estimated
due to non-infectious causes. Starvation, primarily from mismothering and
behaviour, nutritional and environmental stress, reproductive problems and
predation are the major causes reported.</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 18.0pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">(1)</span><span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Pneumonia</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 36.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">It is one of the most common and important pathological
conditions in sheep. It is characterized clinically by increased respiration,
coughing and abdominal breathing. A toll of 20-40% of the mortality has been
reported at organized sheep farms due to pneumonia of bacterial or viral
origin. Another type of pneumonia is “aspiration” or “drenching” pneumonia
caused to wrong and forceful drenching operations. If some fluid has
erroneously entered the animal’s respiratory tract, its head should be lowered
immediately and slapped a few times.</span></div>

</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Ruminal tympany
(Bloat)</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 36.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">It is the over-distension of the left flank either due to
free gas or froth. This is generally encountered in “greedy feeders” when lush
green pasture is available. Tying a bitter (eg. neem) stick in the mouth as a
bit to increase secretion of saliva is the most practical and can be done
immediately. Oral administration of sweet oil with turpentine oil or at times
with formalin is advised.</span></div>

<div style="margin-left: 36.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Ingestion of large amounts of highly fermentable
carbohydrate feeds causes an acute illness due to excess production of lactic
acid in the rumen. Clinically, the disease is manifested by dehydration,
blindness, recumbency, complete rumen stasis and a high mortality rate. Normal
saline, sodium bicarbonate and antihistaminics are advised.</span></div>

<div style="margin-left: 36.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">It occurs commonly due to nodular worms, change in feed
and local intestinal problems. The animal is dull, off-feed, kicking at the
belly with no rise of temperature, frequent straining with no defaecation,
colic symptoms, and at later stages, recumbency. Emergency surgery is the only
rational treatment.</span></div>

<div style="margin-left: 36.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Young sheep grazing on drought-stricken pastures can
suffer serious depletion of reserves of minerals and vitamins.</span></div>

</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Copper and Cobalt :
Characterized by anorexia and wasting. Growth and wool production are severely
retarded. Wool may be tender or broken. Fine wool becomes limp and glossy and
loses crimp, developing straight, steely appearance. Anemia, diarrhoea and
unthriftiness occur in extreme cases. Copper or cobalt sulphate treatment
causes rapid disappearance of the symptoms.</span></div>

</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Calcium, Phosphorous
& Vit. D : The daily requirement of Ca, P & Vit. D for an adult sheep
is about 2.5 gm, 1.5 gm and 300-500 units, respectively. Deficiency may result
in rickets in lambs and osteomalacia in adults. Mineral supplementation in diet
is essential to prevent this deficiency.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">3.</span><span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Vitamin A : Vit. A
deficiency occurs in sheep on dry countryside during periods of drought.
Symptoms include night blindness, corneal keratinization, ptyriasis, hoof
defects, loss of weight and infertility. Congenital defects are common in the
offspring of deficient dams. Animals should have access to green pasture and
should be supplied with Vit. A in feed to prevent deficiency.</span></div>

(Ketosis)</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 36.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">It is a highly fatal disease caused due to a decline in
the plane of nutrition and short periods of starvation (40 hrs) during the last
two months of pregnancy. Hypoglycaemia and hyperketonemia are the primary
metabolic disturbances. It is primarily a disease of intensive farming systems.
Symptoms include separation from the flock, apparent blindness, constipation,
grinding of teeth, drowsiness, tremors of the head, twitching of lips,
in-coordination, ketonic breath, leading to coma and death. Treatment comprises
intravenous administration of 50% glucose. Supply of molasses in the ration and
provision of additional concentrate in the last two months of pregnancy helps
prevent the condition.</span></div>

</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Organochlorine
compounds : This group includes DDT, BHC, lindane, aldrin, dieldrin, chlordane,
toxaphane, methocychlor etc. which are used as pesticides on crops and as
ectoparasiticides on sheep. Toxicity symptoms include increased excitability
and irritability followed by muscle tremors, weakness, paralysis etc. Treatment
consists of administering antidote, usually short-acting barbiturates.</span></div>

compounds : This group consists of malathion, darathion, chlorathion,
carbophenothion, demton, dasnon, dimethylparathion, trichlorphon, dioxalthion
etc. Symptoms of toxicity are profuse salivation, muscle stiffness, dyspnoea
with open mouth breathing, tremors. Treatment consists of administering
antidote, usually atropine sulphate.</span></div>

</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Snake bite : Sheep
are usually bitten on the scrotum or udder. The presence of hair may obscure
the typical fang marks. Prolonged pain, muscular weakness, impaired vision,
nausea and paralysis are generally exhibited along with symptoms of shock. If
anti-venin is not available and the bite is located in an area where a
tourniquet cannot be applied, excision of an area of skin and sub-cutaneous
tissue can be life-saving.</span></div>

<div style="margin-left: 36.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">During the monsoon season, a large number of animals
suffer from wounds at various sites esp. around the ear, sternum and fore- and
hind-legs. The main reason seems to be the awns of <i>Aristidia</i> and <i>Heteropogon</i>
species of grasses, which initially break the continuity of the skin, which is
then attacked by flies making the wound infected and maggoty. It causes great
stress in young lambs, and may also lead to conjunctivitis, corneal opacity and
blindness.</span></div>

<div style="margin-left: 36.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">It is an acute, infectious disease caused by <i>Clostridium
chauvoei</i> and characterized by inflammation of muscles, severe toxaemia and
high mortality (approaching 100%). All age groups are susceptible. Increased
protein feeding of sheep increases their susceptibility. The spores are highly
resistant to the environment and the portal of entry is through the alimentary
mucosa. Infection in sheep generally takes place through skin wounds following
shearing and docking. Symptoms include high fever, anorexia, discolouration of
skin, crepitation and depression. Penicillin is the drug o choice for
treatment.</span></div>

</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Enterotoxaemia (pulpy
kidney)</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 36.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">It is an acute disease of sheep of all ages, but primarily
of lambs. It affects animals in a high state of nutrition on a lush feed, grass
or grain. Morbidity rates seldom exceed 10% but mortality rate approximates
100%. It is caused by <i>Clostridium perfringens</i> type D which normally
inhabits the alimentary tract of sheep. Under certain conditions, the organism
proliferated rapidly in the intestines and produces lethal quantity of toxin.
In lambs, the course of illness is very short, often less than 2 hours and
never more than 12 hours, and many are found dead without manifesting early
signs. Symptoms include green, pasty diarrhea, staggering, recumbency,
opisthotonus, and acute, clonic convulsions with frothing at the mouth. A
history of sudden death of several big lambs justifies a tentative diagnosis of
enterotoxaemia. Suphadimidine may be effective for treatment. Two major control
measures include reduction in the feed intake and vaccination.</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 36.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Infection with <i>Cl. Perfringens</i> type B (lamb

<div style="margin-left: 36.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">It is an acute, infectious disease manifested by tonic
convulsions of the voluntary muscles. In sheep, it commonly follows routine
operations such as shearing, docking, castration and even vaccination. <i>Clostridium
tetani</i> form spores which are capable of persisting in soil for a number of
years. The portal of entry is usually through deep, puncture wounds. Symptoms
include stiffness of limbs, lock jaw, opisthotonus, followed by death due to
asphyxiation. Tetanus antitoxin is usually administered but is of little value
when the signs have appeared.</span></div>

<div style="margin-left: 36.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">It is primarily caused by <i>Pasteurella haemolytica</i>
in sheep and usually occurs in pneumonic form, although a septicaemic form is
not uncommon in lambs. Morbidity and mortality rates may be as high as 40%.
Transmission occurs by the inhalation or ingestion of the infected material.
Symptoms include pyrexia, mucopurulent discharge from the eyes and nose,
coughing, depression and anorexia. Preventive vaccination is recommended, after
which the animals should not be sent out for grazing for 2-3 days.</span></div>

paratuberculosis</i> and characterized by progressive emaciation and a
thickening and corrugation of the intestinal wall. Mortality rate may be as
high as 10%. The disease causes severe economic losses in infected flocks. As
the progress of the disease is slow, it is mostly seen in older animals. No
treatment is successful.</span></div>

development of vesicles and pustules on the skin and internal lesions. Spread
may be by contact with infected animals and contaminated articles, or by
inhalation. It often causes death in 50% of affected animals. Infection of the
pustules by secondary organisms may cause pyrexia and other complications. The
course of the disease is 3-4 weeks, during which time the sheep becomes
emaciated and may shed their wool. Vaccination is the best control.</span></div>

disease</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 36.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">It is an extremely contagious, acute viral disease
characterized by development of vesicles in the oral cavity and in the
interdigital space. Mortality is usually low (3%), but the economic loss is
chiefly due to the loss in condition of the affected animal. Transmission is by

period is less than a week. Pyrexia upto 106<sup>o</sup>F is the common initial
symptom.. The disease has three clinical forms : abortive, acute and sub-acute.
The abortive form mostly goes unnoticed. In the acute form, there is fever
lasting for 5-6 days with nasal discharge, frothing, marked salivation, highly
congested and cyanotic nasal and oral mucosa, epithelial excoriation in the
oral cavity and purplish discolouration of the interdigital space, pasterns and

Failure to reach the teats, however, is of no consequence, because the kids do not require nourishment for several hours after birth. If more than one kids is born, it may be necessary especially when they are very young, to ensure that the smallest of them gets its due share of milk, because it may be prevented from doing so by the stronger kids. In case the udder is too full, a proportion of the milk should be drawn from as otherwise the weight of the udder will cause discomfort to the animals. As soon as there is teats should be held by the hand and pressed into their mouths. Once they have drawn a little of the milk, it will not be long before they take to the normal methods of suckling.</p> <p>Generally, male kids are heavier than the female kids. At birth, a male kid of the Beetal breed will weight about 3 kg. and a female kid about 2-3 kg. For the first three or four days after kidding, goat’s milk like cows milk is considered unsuitable for human consumption. This milk, the so-called colostrums, is yellowish in appearance and is viscous’ it coagulates on boiling. It is nature’s first provision of food for the new born and it must be given to the kids whether they are to be reared on the goat or artificially. Colostrums acts as a laxative and, because of its large contents of vitamin A and serum globulin, it confers immunity against certain diseases.</p> <p>When about two weeks old, kids begin to nibble green food or dry fodder, and it would be well to see that small quantities of these are within their easy reach at this time. It is also important that kids are allowed plenty of open air and sunlight. In the hot weather, this can best be done by keeping them in an enclosure build round a tree so that they may also be provided with shade. The enclosure should be large enough to allow them plenty of exercise.</p> <p>At the age of 2 to 3 months, the suckling may be practically discontinued and at four months the kids should be completely weaned because by this time they will become fit like the older goats to eat solid food, although they may as well be allowed to suckle a little longer.</p> <p>Male kids, unless they are required for breeding purposes, should be castrated at the age of 2 to 3 months for it has been proved that castration improved the quality of meat. Otherwise, they should be kept separated from the female kids.</p> <p>The rearing of kids may be either natural or by hand rearing and each has its advantages and disadvantages. In <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">India</st1:place></st1:country-region>, it is the natural method that is usually practiced and this consists of in leaving the kid to take what amount of milk it can obtain from its mother. Hand rearing is resorted to when weaning is practiced or when the goat dies. There are two methods of hand rearing’ one consists of feeding the kid with a bottle and the other is feeding it off the pail. Both methods are learned by them easily, but bottle feeding is to be preferred because the saliva that is produced during the process of suckling the milk aids digestion. Kids will also readily take to feeding on a foster mother when they are put on her teats.</p> <p>Male kids for breeding should be fed and handled in much the same way as doe kids, except for the fact that they require a little more milk as well as gram ration than the female kids on account of the larger size they have to attain. Kids with body size below normal should be discarded, as they seldom prove good breeders when mature. They should be fed well at all ages to keep them in good condition, but excessive feeding should be avoided, particularly when they are old because, if fat, they become sluggish and are slow breeders. Where the animal is unduly fat, its grain ration should be cut. At one year, a buck should receive 1.8 kg of grain mixture the allowance being increased by 50 per cent during the breeding season. A liberal amount of fodder should be given. An average of 7 to 8 kg. of green fodder per day should be adequate for a full grown Jamunapari buck when entirely stall fed.</p> <ol start="1" type="1"> <li class="MsoNormal">Take care of new born kids by providing guard rails.</li> <li class="MsoNormal">Treat / disinfect the naval cord with tincture of iodine as soon as it is cut with a sharp knife.</li> <li class="MsoNormal">Protect the kids from extreme weather conditions, particularly during the first two months.</li> <li class="MsoNormal">Dehorn the kids during first two weeks of age.</li> <li class="MsoNormal">Male kids should be castrated for better quality meat production.</li> <li class="MsoNormal">Vaccinate the kids as per the recommended schedule.</li> <li class="MsoNormal">Wean the kids at the age of 8 weeks.</li> <li class="MsoNormal">Proper selection of kids on the basis of initial body weight and weaning weight should be initiated by maintaining appropriate records for replacing the culled adult stock as breeders.</li> <li class="MsoNormal">Additional feed requirements of lactating does must be ensured for proper nursing of all the piglets born.</li> </ol> <p class="MsoNormal" align="right" style="text-align:right"><a href="http://www.goatindia.com/goat_housing_management/#abc">>> Top</a></p> <p class="cmiinnerpagetext"><a name="h"></a><strong>Marketing:</strong></p> <p>The marketable product of goat farming includes the fattened kids, manure, culled animals.

There are some important facts that you have to keep in mind, while you start goat farming.</p> <p>You can opt either diary goat farming, which solely focuses on milk production, or meat goat farming that deals with production of meat. Decide the number of goats you want to have in the farm, relative to the overall space in the farm.</p> <p>Goat housing is an important aspect in goat farming. Location with low as well as hilly areas that are away from highway and boasts of good irrigation, quality air, tree shades etc is suitable for goat housing. Goat housing must have good height so that goats can stand tall.</p> <p>There should be good ventilation, sufficient space for feeding, proper drainage system. Housing should give protection against wild animals, weather conditions. Floor space of at least four meter square is required for an individual goat.</p> <p>Fresh water supply, milking space, dry space for keeping feeds etc are also required. Good dry flooring with proper bedding is required.</p> <p>Then select the best goat breed by checking lineage as well as breed, conformation or body shape. Look out for the growth pattern, milk production capabilities, and fertility before selecting the goats for farms.</p> <p>South African Boer, Sirohi, Sojat, Barbari, Nubians, Tennessee meat goat, Kiko etc are some of the good meat goat varieties. Alpine, Nubian, Toggenburg, LaMancha, Saanen etc are some of the goat breeds for dairy farming.</p> <p>There is need for live stock management to the taking care of goats in various conditions. In the case of does’, special care is required during pregnancy until kidding. Breeder bucks, kids need different care. Management of goats fattening is vital, in the case of meat production.</p> <p>There should be a proper management schedule for all activities in the farm. There should be enough staff to carryout the activities like feeding, cleaning, hair trimming, dehorning, hoof trimming, hair trimming, separation etc. As chances of infection are greater, effective cleaning mechanism is necessary.</p> <p>Free grazing system is suitable for farms, which are larger, but management of wandering goats is a big task. Letting goats’ to graze during days at controllable space will be good, as it will help them to graze good herbs as well as grass.</p> <p>Kids will get chance to run around and feel the sun’s heat. The goats feed must contain proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, etc. Forages, goats’ feeds made from grains along with energy supplements will be useful for keeping goats in a healthy manner. Special feed is required for goats meant for meat as fatty goats fetches more money.</p> <p>For breeding farms may use breeder bucks or artificial insemination depending upon the facilities available. In the case of dairy farms, milking machines are necessary for milking the goats.</p> <p>Good storage facilities for milk are necessary. Presence of fulltime veterinarians and regular health checkups is necessary. Relocation of ill will help in prevention of spreading of illness to other goats. Keeping goats is a business with pleasure, as they are lovely animals.</p> <p><strong>Goat Care and Goat breeding</strong></p> <p>Goat care is a serious responsibility. Goats need companionship. Hence, it is better to keep two goats or have a sociable animal to give a single goat company. Goats need spacious shelters, which is free from dampness and drafts. There should be good ventilation so that the freshness of the air maintained inside the shelter.</p> <p>Barns with three sides and pitched roof are ideal for all weather condition. Fences for the shelter or the shelter compound should be taller as goats tend to climb. For bedding place, dry straw or dry shavings of wood. Make sure that wild animals or dogs could not get inside the shelter, as those animals can harm goats.</p> <p>There requires special care regarding the diet of the goats. Goats do not prefer soiled food. Its better to feed goats with forages like browse and hay, grain based feeds as well as nutritional supplements. They are quite sensitive to sudden changes to the diet. Bring changes to the feed program regarding timing of feeding, feeding type as well as feeding amount, in a gradual manner.</p> <p>Water offered for the goats must be clean and give it in clean containers. On average goats might consume two to five gallon of water everyday and this depends on the breed as well as size of goats. During warm weather, its good to offer water at shorter intervals and during cold weather hot water is advisable.</p> <p>Access to veterinarian at regular basis will help in detecting any illness or infections. If goats show any changes in their food habits or some other routine, it is better to have checked up. Trim the hoofs of the goats regularly, and medicate it if any infection is there. Put flycatchers inside the shelter, as during warm weather flies tend to disturb goats. Shave the goat during summer if the locality is hotter. Worm the goats using paste wormer at least once a year.</p> <p>The season stretching from latter part of summer to earlier part of winter is good for goat breeding. There are eighteen to twenty-one estrus cycle for the does’. Goat breeders make use of Natural breeding or artificial insemination.</p> <p>Does’ become fertile at a very young age of two months. Healthy does and goats of seven months or older can breed and give healthy kids, most of the time twins. It takes five months for a doe to give birth.</p> <p>Goat cheese making is becoming popular these days as goat cheese has good nutritional value. For Goat cheese making, goat milk, buttermilk, ladle, fresh lemon juice, colander, cheesecloth etc are required.</p> <p>For making goat cheese, mix all required ingredients well together in the bowl.

The small animals are the most efficient converters of farm and crop residues into excellent organic manure. Several farmers have successfully run stall-fed goat farms, and they have found that such an integrated farming venture was more productive and profitable as well.</p> <p>Goats relish the stalks and residues of most of the nutritious cereals, and they do well particularly when mixed with green fodder such as grasses and subabul. Special goat-feeds can be formulated using farm-grown millets and oilcakes. As the cost of the feed and also the labor gets distributed over other farming operations, the actual cost of raising the goats becomes minimal. The rich goat manure is ideal for fertilizing fishponds and all other crops. It is also a good base material for vermi-composting.</p> <p><strong>Goat farming</strong> needs less capital when compared with dairying, and the animals can be raised in small farms. The floor space requirement per adult animal is about one square meter. <strong>Stall-fed goat farming is an ideal </strong>occupation for the small, marginal and landless agricultural laborers. A properly fed and managed milky goat will yield at least as much milk (on average two liters per day) as low yielding desi cows. The she-goat will deliver 2-4 kids at each parturition after a short gestation period of 150 days.</p> <p>A few exotic goats such as Saanen, Toggenburg, <st1:place st="on">Angora</st1:place>, Anglo-Nubian, British Alpine, French Alpine have been found to be well adapted to Indian conditions, and they are crossed with superior Indian breeds to get good progeny. The popular Indian breeds are <strong>Sirohi, Jamnapari, Surti, Tellicherry, Beetal, Malabari, Barbari and Gujarati.</strong> The milky-type animals are ideal for integrated farming system.</p> <p>A small shed with good cross ventilation is enough to keep a small herd. A deep-litter system with paddy husk and groundnut shell as bedding material is <strong>ideal for raising goats</strong>. The biological activity in the litter keeps the housing warm in winter and cool in summer. The bedding material will last for about six months, and after that it will have to be changed.</p> <p>The bedding has to be turned periodically to remove the foul odour in the pen.</p> <p>The bedding material collects all the dung and urine efficiently and it is found to be an enriched organic manure. An adult goat will add about a tone of rich manure to the farm every year.</p> <p>Though the <strong>goats</strong> are robust animals and are resistant to many diseases, they need to be vaccinated against foot and mouth <strong>disease</strong>, rinder pest and tetanus regularly. The animals need to be dewormed at least twice a year to keep in good stead.</p> <p><strong>Goat farming with stall-feeding</strong> can be managed in small yards just like poultry, and it will prove to be an economical and rewarding enterprise for the small, marginal and landless farmers.</p> <table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;mso-cellspacing:0cm;mso-padding-alt:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm"> <tbody><tr> <td style="background:white;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm"> <p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana;color:black">Goats require energy, protein, vitamins, minerals, fiber (bulk) and water. Energy (calories) is usually the most limiting nutrient, whereas protein is the most expensive. Deficiencies, excesses and imbalances of vitamins and minerals can limit animal performance and lead to various health problems. Fiber is necessary to maintain a healthy rumen environment and prevent digestive disturbances. Water is the cheapest feed ingredient and often the most neglected. </span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background:white;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm"> <p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><o:p> </o:p></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background:white;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm"> <p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana;color:black">Many factors affect the nutritional requirements of goats: maintenance, growth, pregnancy, lactation, fiber production, activity and environment. As a general rule of thumb, goats will consume at least 3% of their body weight on a dry matter basis in feed. The exact percentage varies according to the size (weight) of the goat, with smaller animals needing a higher intake (percentage-wise) to maintain their weight. Maintenance requirements increase as the level of the goat’s activity increases. For example, a goat that has to travel farther for feed will have a higher maintenance requirement than a goat in a feed lot. Environmental conditions also affect maintenance requirements. In cold and severe weather, goats require more feed to maintain body heat. The added stresses of pregnancy, lactation and growth further increase nutrient requirements. The following chart gives the nutritional requirements for various classes of meat goats.</span></p> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="style12"><strong>HOUSING</strong></p> <p class="style12">Housing of goats is not a serious problem. It is enough if the goats are provided with a dry, comfortable, safe and secure place, free from worms, and affording protection from excessive heat and inclement weather. In Indian villages goats are mostly kept under widespread shady trees when the Climate is dry, provided the goats are safe from thieves and predatory animals such as wolves and panthers. The kids are kept under large inverted baskets until they are old enough to run along with their mothers. Males and females are generally-kept together. </p> <p class="style12">It is worthwhile to design a cheap house for goats which may result in increased milk and meat production. Some kind of housing is necessary if herds of goats are maintained in cities and at organized farms; adequate space, proper ventilation, good drainage and plenty of light should be provided for while constructing houses. Successful goat dairying largely depends on the site where goats are kept. Goats do not thrive on marshy or swampy ground. Grazing areas should be free from pits and shallow pools, for goats contract parasitic infection mainly from such places. </p> <p class="style12"><strong>'Lean-to' Type Shed </strong><br />The cheapest form of building is the 'lean-to' type shed located against the side of an existing building. Such a shed for a family of two goats should be 1·5 m wide and 3·0 m long. This length provides 0.3 m for the manger and 1·2 m for the goats; the remaining 1·5 m space is sufficient for two milking does with a stub wall between them. The height nearest the wall should be 2·3 m and on the lower side 1·7 m giving a slope of 0·6 11) to the roof, which may be tiled or thatched. An open-framed window of good size on the lower side and an open-framed door should be provided. Arrangements for storing hay or dried feed can be made overhead. </p> <p class="style12">The plan for a house varies with the climatic conditions and the type of flock to be sheltered. In dry climates with a rainfall of 50 to 75 cm a long shed open on the sides, little exposed to weather and built on well drained ground makes an excellent shelter.</p> <p class="style12">A goat, when reared singly, can be housed in any building provided it is dry, free from draft and well ventilated. The space allowed should be 1·8 m x 1·8 m. A plain board, 28 cm wide and 2·5 cm thick with two circular holes sufficiently large for receiving two small galvanized iron pails, may be used in place of the manger or a trough for food. It should be raised 50 to 60 cm from the floor, supported on wooden or iron brackets fixed to the wall. These pails, one for water and the other for food, are preferred to the manger, as the accumulated residue of feed can be easily removed from them. </p> <p class="style12">In the tropics because of high temperature, heavy rainfall and the susceptibility of goats-to parasitism, the most practical goat houses are those which are raised above the ground level, are well ventilated, and have long eaves to prevent heavy rain showers to splash in from the sides. The floor must be strong (wooden strips with small slits in between) and the roof material should provide effective insulation from the solar radiation. The roofing material would be made of bamboo or tree leaves or earthen tiles which are cheap and practical. Provision must be made for collection of dung and urine periodically.</p> <p class="style12"> </p> <p class="style12"><strong>Shelter for Buck </strong><br />The buck should be housed separately. A single stall measuring 2·5 m x 2·0 m with the usual fittings for food and water would be suitable for the bucks. Two bucks should not be kept together, particularly during the breeding season, because they might fight. </p> <p class="style12"><strong>Space for Goats in Stanchions and Confinement </strong><br />The size of the stanchion where the goat is kept should be 0·75 m wide and 1·2 m long. Goats kept longer in a pen should have a floor space of 2m2. </p> <p class="style12"><strong>Loose Stalls for Pregnant Does and Kids </strong><br />Kids should be provided with separate loose stalls, away from adult females. The walls and doors of these stalls should be about 1·3 m high. A box barrel or a log is provided for exercise. One stall measuring 1·8 m2 can accommodate up to 10 kids. Such loose stalls are also suitable for goats at the time of kidding. All stalls should be provided with an enclosure in which the animals can be let loose during the day. This loose housing system reduces the housing cost and labour.</p> <p class="style12"><strong>Exercise Paddock for Stall-fed Goats </strong><br />An enclosure measuring I2 m x 18 m is adequate for 100 to 125 goats. Such an enclosure or exercise paddock should be well fenced with strong woven wires which should not be far apart near the bottom. The exercise paddocks should be made bigger than the enclosures and should have some shade trees if the stock is to be maintained constantly in confinement. An extra-strong woven wire should be used, as goats have the habit of climbing fences and also of rubbing their bodies against them. Barbed wire should not be used so as to avoid injury to the udder and teats. It will be good if a box of 1 m x 1 m and 60 cm high and a stationary steel-drum or a log of 30 cm x 2·4 cm size is provided for their exercise. </p> <p class="style12"><strong>Segregation Shed </strong><br />When the herd is large, provision for a small segregation shed, about' 3·6 m x 5 m, is very desirable. It should be built in the farther comer of the farm and provided with a well-fenced yard; it should be divided into two or three sections. Each stall as well as the yard should have a' separate watering arrangement. </p> <p class="style12"><strong>Hay Racks </strong><br />Goats are very wasteful and refuse to eat what has dropped down on the ground. Hay racks are very helpful for feeding. The bars of hay racks should not be more than 5 cm apart and there should be a wooden board, fixed about 15 cm below the rack, to catch what falls from the rack while the goat is feeding. </p> <p class="style12"><strong>Tethering</strong><br />When one or two goats are to be kept and facilities for grazing are limited, tethering is convenient. This simple device has the advantage of keeping goats out-of-doors, and at same time on a limited area, although frequent changes of location become necessary. The animal is provided with a shelter with in its reach so that it may turn to it in the event of extreme heat or heavy rains. Goats have strong dislike for rain and for getting wet. The shelter should be temporary and preferably a portable one. The rope or chain used for tethering should be about 35 to 50cm long. The peg should be tethered only in the morning and evening, and kept in the shed during the mid-day. Tethering has also an important advantage of grazing the animal on a plot which is definitely known to be free from parasitic infections.</p> <p class="style38">Elevated Platform</p> <p class="style12">In the tropics because of high temperature, heavy rainfall and the susceptibility of goats-to parasitism, the most practical goat houses are those which are raised above the ground level, are well ventilated, and have long eaves to prevent heavy rain showers to splash in from the sides. The floor must be strong (wooden strips with small slits in between) and the roof material should provide effective insulation from the solar radiation. The roofing material would be made of bamboo or tree leaves or earthen tiles which are cheap and practical. Provision must be made for collection of dung and urine periodically.</p> <h2>Farming systems</h2> <h2>Tethering </h2> <p class="style12">In this system goats are usually tied with a rope to a tree or on a peg and they will be able to browse from the surrounding. It is a convenient method from the standpoint of minimum labour input and utilization of feeds. This system is suitable for farmers with one or two goats. </p> <p class="style12"><strong>Extensive production </strong><br />This system can be adopted if grazing land is available where goats are allowed to browse on free range and provided with shelter during nighttime. </p> <h5>Intensive production </h5> <p class="style12">This method is suitable in urban areas where there is scarcity of land. In this method goats are confined exclusively in sheds and fed on leaves/grass and concentrates.</p> <h5>Semi-intensive </h5> <p class="style12">This method represents varying degrees of compromise between extensive and intensive production. In this system the goats are allowed to go out of the shed for a few hours daily.</p> <p class="style12"><strong>Integration with cropping system</strong><br />In this case goats can be allowed to browse under plantation crops. It ensures increased fertility of land by return of dung and urine and controls the weeds. The manure output from an adult goat per day varies from 0.5 to 1 kg.</p> <p class="style12" style="margin-right:-72.0pt">(<strong>Source</strong>: Dr.Achariya, Handbook of Animal Husbandry)</p> <table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="576" style="width:432.0pt;mso-cellspacing:0cm;mso-padding-alt:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm"> <tbody><tr style="mso-yfti-irow:0;mso-yfti-firstrow:yes;mso-yfti-lastrow:yes; height:176.25pt"> <td width="576" style="width:432.0pt;padding:0cm 18.75pt 0cm 0cm;height:176.25pt"> <p style="text-align:justify"><span class="cmigoatfarmingtitle">Feeding of Goats</span></p> <p class="cmiinnerpagetext">Kids must receive colostrum from the doe within one hour after birth and should continue for 3 days as the total energy reserves of new born kids from well fed does is about 800-900 kcal and kids of under nourished does oly 400 kcal.

class="cmiinnerpagetext">High quality roughages provide the basic nutrients needed during the last 6 to 8 weeks of gestation when 70 to 80% gain in foetal mass is made. Therefore, liberal feeding of quality leguminous fodder and concentrate having 25% protein should be offered between 400 to 500 g depending upon the condition of doe should be fed. A free choice lick of mineral mixture will take care for the calcium and Phosphorus requirement of dam and foetus. Allow good grazing if available and make sure that does get plenty of exercise.</p> <p class="cmiinnerpagetext">Several days before the does freshen reduce the quantum of concentrate ration to one half and add bran to provide more bulk. After kidding, feed a bran mash for a few days, gradually bringing the doe to the full feed for milk production.</p> <p class="cmiinnerpagetext"><strong>Feeding of Lactating Goats</strong></p> <p class="cmiinnerpagetext">Nutrient requirements are higher during lactation. The ration for lactating does should contain high quality roughages like Lucerne, berseem and other cereal grasses through which it will receive not only fresh nutrients particularly of minerals, vitamins and proteins but also the bulk needed for volatile fatty acids, viz., acetic, prop ionic and butyric needed for high milk production. To supplement more nutrients particularly of energy, cereal grains at the rate of 350 g for each liter of milk must be provided. The protein percent may vary from 14 to 16 %, the feed may be fed in two lots, at the time of morning and evening milking.</p> <p class="cmiinnerpagetext">Add 1% trace mineralized salt and 1% calcium phosphorus mineral mixture to concentrate mixture. Molasses (5-7% of concentrate mixture) may be used to increase palatability and to reduce dustiness of feed.</p> <p class="cmiinnerpagetext">Keep a clean, fresh supply of water available at all times. After two weeks gradually increase the concentrate level to that suggested by milk yield. As soon as the doe leaves some concentrate, reduce the amount until she again cleans it up. The concentrate should be fed on individual requirement basis of each doe. This can be done most easily by feeding the concentrate at milking times.</p> <p class="cmiinnerpagetext"><strong>Feeding Breeding Bucks</strong></p> <p class="cmiinnerpagetext">During the non-breeding season, the buck does not require additional grain if he is on good pasture. During the breeding season, the same concentrate mixture fed to the does may be fed at the rate of 450-900 g (depending on the body weight) daily. Provide roughage free choice along with clean fresh water and minerals. Care must be taken not to allow the buck to get too fat. Reduce the intake of energy feeds as needed to prevent this. Make sure the buck gets plenty of exercise.</p>kamalakar reddy vangapallyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17268927609012913883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6884723823114908363.post-53655691313858307932011-08-29T16:18:00.000+05:302011-08-29T16:27:51.423+05:30Goat<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:view>Normal</w:View> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:punctuationkerning/> <w:validateagainstschemas/> <w:saveifxmlinvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:ignoremixedcontent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:compatibility> <w:breakwrappedtables/> <w:snaptogridincell/> <w:wraptextwithpunct/> <w:useasianbreakrules/> <w:dontgrowautofit/> </w:Compatibility> <w:browserlevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]--> <p style="text-align:justify"> The goat meat is lean and has low fat.
