Why Goat Farming?
Goat farming is one of the easiest and most profitable livestock businesses in rural Bangladesh. With a small investment, farmers can quickly grow their herd and income.
How to Start:
- Choose Local Breeds: Black Bengal goats are disease-resistant and popular.
- Shelter: Use bamboo, straw, or tin to build a low-cost goat shed.
- Feeding: Use Napier grass, kitchen waste, and crop by-products.
- Health Care: Deworming every 3 months and regular vaccination.
Investment Example:
Starting with 3 goats may cost around ৳20,000. Within 1 year, you could have 7–8 goats through natural breeding.
