Topics covered in our Training
- Scientific ways of goat farm/shed setup: Setting up any farm correctly is very important to reduce goat mortality. We in our training:
- Guide the farmers on scientific ways of establishing small sheds which can help in reducing goat mortality and simultaneously support the effective growth and development of the goats.
- The training focuses on recommended size of a shed, structure of the sheds and ratio of closed vs open area, the direction of shed construction which in turn reduces the chances of bacterial infections.

- Hence, we focus on right vaccination and its process which helps in enhancing the immunity level of goats thereby reducing goat mortality rate.
- Goat Kids Management: Breeding is a very essential way to increase goat count and generate more income from the parent stock. However, the kids' management is a very sensitive area and lack of proper knowledge among farmers lead to high kids mortality.
- We in our training focus on various aspects of kids management - right from handling pregnant goats, safe delivery process, vaccination, diet and nutrition and safety from natural calamities and seasonal changes.
