Goat production is no longer a niche industry in Australia. Once mainly the domain of fibre producers, today goats are increasingly managed and harvested for their meat.
Elders can assist producers with all aspects of goat production, from animal selection and reproduction to herd health, nutrition and marketing. We’ll work with you to maximise your herd’s potential, grow your business and achieve your goals.
Improving production and herd health
Our Livestock Production Specialists have the localised knowledge and extensive experience to help you maximise the productivity of your goat enterprise. Taking a hands-on approach, they provide trusted advice (free to Elders clients) to improve production and herd health.
Services include:
- reproduction advice to improve kidding and weaning percentages
- supplementary feed ration and grazing advice
- disease control and management
- faecal egg counts to determine worm burden in animals
- farm biosecurity and general business operations.
