Raising Goats Business Guide
May 1, 2009 by Leo 8,448 Views
Goats are very popular among Filipinos because they require low initial capital investment, fit the smallhold farm conditions, and multiply fast. Culturally, goats are integral to every special occasion such as birthdays, baptisms, weddings, and fiestas. Hence, they command a higher price compared with other meats in the market.
The optimum potential of goat as one of the main sources of milk and meat has not been fully tapped in the Philippines. The goat is popularly known as the poor man’s cow because children and old folks who can not afford cow’s milk prefer drinking goat’s milk. Aside from being cheap, goat’s milk is more digestible compared to cow’s milk.

Hi! I got more interested about goat farming.. I had a native goats in the Philipines( Im now in Dubai) Pinapaalagaan ko lang.. at nabalitaan ko na namatay yung iba.. Maybe its because they have no proper information about goat raising.. So, when I get home on December,ako na mismo ang mag aalaga at magpaparami.Thank you that i found this site dahil It gives mo more knowledge and informaion on how to raise a goats.. Interesting.
Itatanong ko lang kung kailangan ba talagang lagyan ng asin ang tubig na iniinom nila? Gaano ka taas ang kanilang fence? ( I mean the lenght)
Thank you and more power!!!!!!!
