Sustainable Goat Farming & Breeding Operations
Empowering commercial meat producers, smallholders, and processors with high-yield breeding stock, intensive stall-fed zero-grazing models, and rigorous biosecurity management.
Intensive Goat Production
Optimized semi-intensive and stall-fed rearing protocols tailored for high growth rates and disease resistance.
- Purebred & Crossbred Breeding Stock (Kano Brown, Boer, Red Sokoto)
- PPR & Foot-and-Mouth Immunization Standards
- Structured Feed Conversion & Silage Rations
- Off-Take Contracts for Meat Processing & Abattoirs
Breeds & Genetic Selection
We maintain highly adapted indigenous and exotic genetics designed for high prolificacy, superior dressing percentage, and rapid growth rates in tropical environments.

Sahelian / Kano
Long-legged, highly mobile breed adapted to long-distance grazing, harsh heat, and drought resilience.

Breed Selection & Market Suitability Matrix
| Breed | Primary Purpose | Recommended Production System | Market Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red Sokoto | Meat & High-Value Hide | Semi-Intensive / Stall-Fed | High kidding frequency & valuable skin yield. |
| Boer (Purebred) | Stud Breeding / Sire Stock | Intensive Feedlot / Zero-Grazing | Heavy carcass weight & fast weight accumulation. |
| Sahelian | Commercial Meat | Extensive / Semi-Intensive Pasture | Exceptional heat tolerance & drought endurance. |
| Boer Crosses (F1) | Prime Slaughter Meat | Feedlot Finishing Systems | High dressing percentage with lower disease risk. |
Housing Systems & Nutrition Standards
Proper housing layout combined with balanced forage and concentrate rations minimizes disease risks, lowers mortality rates, and maximizes weight gain performance.
Elevated Slatted Flooring
Our zero-grazing housing designs elevate the flock 1 to 1.5 meters above ground level. Slatted timber floors allow droppings and urine to pass through, keeping animals dry and disease-free.
- Parasite Prevention: Breaks the life cycle of intestinal worms and hoof rot bacteria.
- Optimal Ventilation: Prevents respiratory infections through cross-flow airflow.
- Segregated Pens: Dedicated compartments for kidding bucks, lactating does, and fattening kids.
Forage & Feed Rations
Goats are active browsers. We combine cultivated fodder trees, high-protein leguminous crops, conserved silage, and energy concentrates for optimum feed conversion.
- Protein Legumes: Stylosanthes, Gliricidia, and Leucaena for natural protein sourcing.
- Silage Conservation: Ensiled cassava peel and maize stover for dry-season feeding.
- Mineral Supplementation: Free-choice salt licks and trace mineral blocks to boost immunity.
Daily Feed Ration Guidelines
Recommended feeding schedules across key production stages to achieve target weight benchmarks.
| Production Phase | Basal Roughage / Fodder | Concentrate Supplement | Target Feed Goal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weaners (3–6 Months) | Wilting Legumes & Fresh Grass (Ad-lib) | 200g – 300g / day (16% CP) | Rapid skeletal growth & organ development |
| Fattening Bucks (Finishing) | Maize Silage & Dry Crop Residues | 400g – 600g / day (14% CP) | High average daily gain (ADG) for market |
| Pregnant / Lactating Does | High-Quality Browse & Stylosanthes | 350g – 500g / day (18% CP) | Milk yield & strong kid birth weights |
| Breeding Bucks (Maintenance) | Mixed Pasture Grazing & Hay | 200g – 300g / day (12% CP) | Body condition maintenance & fertility |
Health Management & Biosecurity
Proactive disease control protocols, strategic deworming routines, and mandatory immunizations safeguard herd welfare and protect overall enterprise profitability.
Quarantine & Isolation
Strict 30-day quarantine protocols for all newly acquired breeding stock. New arrivals undergo deworming, ectoparasite dipping, and health surveillance prior to herd integration.
Strategic Deworming
Targeted anti-helminthic rotation schedules using FAMACHA eye-color scoring to combat barber's pole worm (Haemonchus contortus) and prevent parasite resistance.
Sanitation & Hygiene
Bi-weekly pen disinfection, lime wash application on slatted floors, and controlled farm entry with vehicle footbaths to stop pathogen spread across stalls.
Standardized Small-Ruminant Vaccination Schedule
Recommended immunization timeline for commercial goat operations in Nigeria and West Africa.
| Target Disease | Vaccine Type | First Dose Timing | Booster Frequency | Priority Level |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pest des Petits Ruminants (PPR) | PPR Attenuated Live Vaccine | At 3 Months of Age | Annual (1 Year) | Mandatory |
| Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia (CCPP) | Inactivated Mycoplasma Vaccine | At 4 Months of Age | Bi-Annual (6 Months) | Mandatory |
| Enterotoxemia (Pulpy Kidney) | Clostridial Polyvalent Toxoid | At 2 Months of Age | Annual (Before Rainy Season) | Routine |
| Tetanus | Tetanus Toxoid | At Birth (via Dam) / 3 Months | Annual / Pre-Kidding | Routine |
| Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) | Multivalent FMD Vaccine | At 6 Months of Age | Bi-Annual (High-Risk Zones) | Routine |
