I just started, I import some goats of Vietnam. My plan was / is to start a small diary farm. I hear many people day that goats are easy to kept. But many people forget that we are in the tropics. Goats are really sensitive to parasites. Goats not grow well in tropics. If u have a good boerbreed here ,he becomes max 60kilo.
Goats need good food , a mix between the right minerals and vitamins. And goats eat a lot. Raising goats and start a diary farm sounds easy, but it is not so easy as it sounds. And there are no good goats here in Cambodia. Raising Khmer goats is useless, because they not grow because the bloodline, parasites and goats are sensitive to a lot of sicknesses.
And the vets here don't know about goats. They really don't know. I tried to find a vet here to bring him some decals to check the wormload etc. But they never heard of it, and so are there many things.

But I'm still convinced about the potential about a diaryfarm, prices of milk products are high.
But keep and take care goats on a good way is a expensive and unsure business.
