Goats are the most widely used livestock in the planet. They are utilized for meat and milk, as well as for manufacturing uses such as clothing (wool) and by-products such as goat cheese, goat milk soap, and so on. They can exist in a variety of environments, including scorching deserts, frigid mountains, and moist woods. Although goat infections are typically not severe and goats recover quickly, goat owners should be aware of them in order to avoid widespread sickness.

Goats may look cuddly and adorable, but they are among the brightest animals because they know how to live in the harshest of environments. They do so by producing goat milk, which is rich in nutrients, goat meat, which is widely consumed across the globe, goat hair (wool), which can be used to produce various garments, and goatskin, which is used to manufacture bags, shoes, and other items.

The first goat illness that people should be aware of is Goat Polioencephalomalacia (Goat PM), which has symptoms that are comparable to Mad Cow Disease but is not harmful to humans. Owners of goats have claimed that their goats have been acting abnormally right before the onset of Goat PM symptoms; the goat would wobble, get weary quickly, and its head will begin to drop down. The Goat may seem to be ready to fall asleep, but it is unable to do so because to the incessant jerking of muscles. Because both Goat illnesses have similar symptoms, Goat PM is sometimes mistaken with Goat polioencephalomalaciosis (the Goat Paralysis Virus, GPE). The Goat Paralysis Virus, on the other hand, has no treatment and frequently kills goats within 48 hours. Penicillin is used to treat goat PM, and goat owners should seek assistance from a goat veterinarian for optimum care.

The symptoms of the Goat Paralysis Virus (GPE) are identical to those of Goat Polioencephalomalacia, but the Goat Paralysis Virus is much more hazardous. The Goat will suddenly fall over instead of bumbling about and acting fatigued. Goat owners should be on the lookout for indications of goat ailments such as Sad Goat Syndrome, goat sadness, and goat stumbling. Goat owners should be aware of symptoms such as paralysis, muscular spasms, and trouble breathing caused by the Goat Paralysis Virus. All of these signs indicate that the goat will die within 48 hours; goat owners seeking guidance from veterinarians may choose to consider euthanizing the goat to prevent a painful death. Goat owners should be cautious while handling Goats infected with Goat Paralysis Virus since it may be transmitted to people by contact with Goat saliva, urine, or feces, according to goat care and breeding websites.

Goats, like any other livestock, can be a profitable business if run properly. However, there are some factors that you must consider before investing in this type of farming. Goats tend to require more attention than most types of livestock and you will need the right facilities such as goat sheds and fencing for them.

Pros of Goat Farming:

Can breed up quickly. Like other livestock, goats are capable of reproducing at a rapid pace. They can have two or more kids annually giving you a consistent supply of animal protein every year.

Goat meat is healthy for humans to consume. Goat meat has less cholesterol and fat than beef, lamb, pork and chicken which makes it a healthy alternative to most non-vegetarian food. Also, goat milk and cheese also provide calcium and protein that humans need for their daily diet.

Goat farming can be a sustainable business venture. Unlike other types of livestock which have been known to consume more than what they generate from the farm, it is almost the opposite in the case of goats. Goats eat almost anything that is in their reach and they produce more than what they consume.

Can be used for multiple purposes. Not only can you harvest goat meat, you can also sell its skin once it’s fully grown if it has not been castrated or had her horns removed. Goat skins are used to make leather products, goat wool can be used to knit warm clothes and if you are not into commercial farming, goats can also serve as pet animals.

Houses don’t cost much. You can build a small shelter for your goats with just about  RM500 (roughly $150). However, larger buildings such as sheds require more financial support. For example, a goat shed which can house up to 20 goats would cost about RM20,000 (roughly $5,900).

Cons of Goat Farming:

Goats are capable of jumping over most types of fences. To prevent them from wandering aimlessly all over your farm, you will need electric fencing for them. Electric fencing is expensive and it can also pose a hazard to you and your family members.

Goats require regular attention especially when they are pregnant or giving birth to kids. They need protection from predators and proper feeding and water supply at all times if you want them to breed well.

You may end up with more goats than what you can handle especially during goat birthing season. Goats are social animals and they require constant company. If you decide to raise goats alone, it might cause the animal some stress which could affect its health in the long run.

Goats can fall ill easily. They are susceptible to various types of parasites and diseases which can become quite costly if not treated properly. You will need to buy medicines for your goats on a regular basis.

Goats are expensive to maintain. They require proper shelter, fencing, vaccinations and you will need to hire farm workers if you want them to breed well. Your goats must have access to fresh water at all times which means that you have to purchase or rent a water tanker regularly just so they can drink from it.

In order to be a successful goat farmer, you will need to spend time with them and learn about their behaviour. You should also know proper handling techniques that can allow you to lead your goats from one place to another without causing them so much stress.
