How to make a Goat House?

Goat house should be constructed in a well-drained elevated plain area with easy access to transport, electricity, and water.

for our tropical Indian conditions, the long axis of the shed should be in East-west direction.

under Indian condition, the soil floor is generally recommended for goats. however, the floor made bamboo, wooden slats, or plastics are being used in elevated goat house constructed in high rainfall, high humid as well as areas prone for floods.

roof of the goat house may be made of thatch, tiles, cemented sheets, thermally insulated GI sheets depending upon availability as well as durability required.

side walls along with the length of the shed should be 4 feet with remaining height kept open for fixing iron mesh for free air circulation. The walls across the width of the house on both sides need to be closed up to roof height.

maintain the green vegetation and greenery all around the shed adjacent to the goat shelter.

A separate provision of water and feeders of fixed or movable type should be  provided in each paddock

keep the animals as much as possible under the thermal comfort zone so that productivity will be optimum.

Run area should be Double the width of covered area.

Start with minimal housing requirements and as the farm grows in size, add the sheds according to requirements.

Design the facility so that there is a less distance involved while carrying and removing manure or other sources of contamination such as soiled bedding from the sick area.

Solar radiation for kids during winter

Exposure of kids to solar radiation is an important part of livestock management, especially in winter. It helps in maintaining the body temperature and conserve body heat. Provision should be made to provide direct solar radiation for four hours to kids during winter that is quite helpful for proper growth.
