Goat farm shed design pdf

The provision of a simple shed with low-cost housing material (goat farm shed layout) is sufficient for its optimum production capacity for sheep and goat.

Soil-floored sheds are suitable for most parts of the country, where high rainfall is observed. To prevent water stagnation, sheds should be constructed in an elevated area.

Fodder trees can be grown around the shed, which is a source of fodder for growing goats. Clean drinking water should be available for goats.

Sheds should be constructed with proper ventilation. The walls of the shed should be free from cracks or holes when building.

The floors of the shed should be strong and have the ability to absorb water. The floor should be constructed in such a way that it is easily cleaned.

The type of shed depends on the system of the rear. Open type housing with a cover area and run space are usually sufficient.

1. The run space must be covered by a chain link.
2. The covered area is used to shelter animals at night and in adverse climatic conditions.
3. A comfortable home with a generous provision for ventilation/air movement to dry the floor would be suitable for an east-west orientation.
4. Thatched roof is the most suitable due to cheap cost and durability.
5. However corrugated asbestos sheets can also be used for organized farms to reduce recurring costs and now have durability.
6. Gable roofing is usually preferred.
7. From small shades to typing ceilings are recommended.
8. When the animals are taken to graze during the day and take shelter only during the night, the cover space will be sufficient.
9. When animals are intensively housed, the housing pen and run system are suitable.
10. There is no restriction for the length of the shelter, although the width of the shed should not exceed 12 meters and the optimal width of the shelter is 8 meters.
11. The height of the way should be 2.5 meters and the ridge height 3.5 meters.
12. The chain link height used for open space should be 4 feet. The length of the overhang should be 75 cm – 1 meter.
13. Separate feeders and water pools should be kept for concentrate feed, green fodder and water.

• The availability of mutton is less than the demand.
• It requires a small investment and is not as risky for a commercial proposition as compared to dairy.
• Sale of goats meat is never a problem due to the above reasons.
