The rainy season presents unique challenges and opportunities for goat farmers. Effective management during this period ensures the health & productivity of your herd. During this season, farmers should need to ensure proper well-ventilated & dry shelters to prevent respiratory issues, provide balanced & high-quality feed, implement de-worming & vaccination schedule to protect against common rainy-season diseases, avoid overgrazing wet pastures to prevent soil erosion & health issues and keep hooves trimmed to prevent foot rot and other hoof-related problems. Embracing these practices will help ensure your goats remain healthy and productive throughout the rainy season.  For more information, please click the below mentioned link: https://lnkd.in/dWjMheDH. #goatfarming #goatbusiness #goatfarmer #livelihood #livestock #livelihood TGT Global Development Services Pvt.
