Stall feeding Goats and Sheep :-
Following are the reasons why stall feeding goats and sheep are more profitable than open grazed goats/sheep. Conservation of Energy, which otherwise the animal would waste its energy in hunting after the fodder. For example, a goat/sheep that has to travel farther for feed will have a higher maintenance requirement than goat/sheep in a feed lot.
2. Better conversion of energy, available from fed and fodder into flesh and milk.
3. Prevention of indiscriminate grazing, thereby offering optimum scope for re-growth of fodder.
4. Prevention of uncontrolled mating.
5. Better collection and utilization of manure.
6. Control and reduction of parasitic re-infestation.
7. Close supervision and easy management.
8. Easy access for record keeping.
9. No danger from wild animals and predators.
