Goatery project to hike meat, milk production

500 tonnes of meat, 17,000 litres of milk in 5 years

In order to enhance milk and meat production in the district, the Animal Husbandry department has launched a new project in commercial goatery by setting up industrial farms and satellite units.

While 20 families in the district will receive 380 female goats and 20 males to start commercial farms, 53 goat satellite units will also come up in connection with the project. Each satellite unit will have five females and one buck. The project aims at producing an extra 500 tonnes of meat and 17,000 litres of milk within five years.
