| What is the advantage of breeding Jamnapari
compare to Boer? |
| Every goat breed has its advantages and disadvantages.
Whether it is a Jamnapari, Boer, Saanen, Katjang, British
Alpine, Toggenburg, Nubian, Damascus or other breed. But
our main concern is a good livestock system and ease of
management. As far as we know, the hot and humid climate
in Malaysia all year round exposes the livestock more
to bacterial infection, worm and tick infestation and
fungi infection. It is important to get breed which is
hardy and can adapt well in the environment or breed it
with local breed to increase the hybrid's capability to
fight diseases. We choose Jamnapari as our breed of specialization
due to its high environmental adaptability. |
| |
| What is the age to breed Jamnapari? |
| Generally Jamnapari can breed at 7 month's old. However,
we allow our livestock to breed at the age of a year and
above for female and a year and a half for male. This
is to avoid complication at birth, which may result in
small size kid and unhealthy kid. |
| |
| What is the suitable feed for Jamnapari? |
| Suitability of the feed is usually related to the farm’s
locality which affects availability of feed choices. A
suitable feed should be at least 70% offered greens in
the form of leaves (Leban, Balik Angin, Mahang, Petai
Belalang, etc.) and grasses (Napier, Guinea, etc.) either
given directly or chopped into small pieces. Through the
practice of feeding with leaves and grasses, it can reduce
feed cost. The consumption of goat feed in the form of
grain pellet is only recommended as supplementary feed
and not as main feed since grain-overfeeding can result
in high maintenance animal and interfere with the cash
flow of the project. A good balanced diet must not be
lack of green forage, where the fibre quantity is sufficient
to meet the nutritional requirement of the goats. |
| |
| How many goats are suited for an acre land? |
| For an acre land, in free pasture system it can hold
about 6 - 10 goat / acre / year. But the capacity of livestock
can be increased to 100 - 200 heads with the presence
of greens for cut-and-carry harvest in intensive capture.
|
| |
| What the maximum number of goat in 14' x 20'
barn? |
| A barn with measurement of 14' x 20' may be stocked
in with between 15 to 20 heads of goats. |
| |
| How much the cost for a buck and doe goat? |
Female Jamnapari (Doe)
RM 1600 ( 40 kg and above, 12 - 30 month )
Male Jamnapari (Buck)
RM 3200 ( 70 kg and above, 12 - 30 month ) |
| |
| Do I qualify to rear Jamnapari goat? |
| To start a business in farming the important thing is
to have capital and a farm shed with feed-lot system .
Barn can be developed using new timber or good quality
used timber to save cost. Beginner is advised to decide
on a business objective and select from among three market
segments: i)mutton, ii)milk and iii) breed. All these
three market segments have their own business potential
but farmer's knowledge and experience in business management
are the key factor for success. Farmer also should know
about source of high quality feed and feed supplement
for animals. It is important for one to bear in mind that
in order to be a successful farmer, one must be a smart
purchaser, a smart grower as well as a smart seller throughout
the whole course of business operations. |

government agencies. For example: Jabatan Perkhidmatan
Haiwan Daerah, Jabatan Pertanian, MARDI, RISDA, Bank Pertanian,
Bank Pembangunan Usahawan etc. |
| |
| How is the market? |

and is bound to take off with large investment from the
government and private sector. At the moment many government
agencies serve as goat importer and we foresee local market
for mutton will thrive in 2-3 years ahead. Ability to

marketing approach and knowledge about a consumer behavior
will be of help in identifying a market niche. |
