FARMING & LEARNING

Goat & Sheep Academy

Learn to keep goats and sheep well, for meat or milk. Five modules: housing and handling (space, dry floors, body condition scoring, ear tags and telling age by the teeth), breeding (heat signs, mating systems, choosing the male, pregnancy of about five months), lambs and kids (navel care, colostrum, cold newborns, weaning), feeding (dry matter, water, flushing, salt and minerals) and health (quarantine, vaccination and PPR, worms and the FAMACHA eyelid check, castration and hooves). Every figure comes from the Sheep and Goat Production Handbook for Ethiopia, cited chapter by chapter. Tools work out birth and weaning dates, house size, and daily feed and water. Questions after each lesson, a final test and a certificate.
