Daily Management Practices That Make a Sirohi–Boer Farm Succeed

The Daily Routine in Four Disciplines

• Morning health inspection: Every day starts with a full herd check — coughing, nasal discharge, lameness, diarrhoea, lethargy, loss of appetite. Sick animals go straight into a designated isolation pen, dramatically reducing morbidity and mortality.
• Four-times-daily feeding: Splitting the ration into four smaller meals improves digestion and avoids rumen overload. Consistent feed timing regulates metabolism, lowers stress and supports steady growth — backed by clean, fresh water at all times.
• Kidding management: A clean, dry, quiet kidding pen is non-negotiable. We monitor closely but intervene only when necessary, and ensure newborn kids receive colostrum within the first two hours — the critical window for immunity transfer.
• Record keeping & performance monitoring: Detailed records for every breeding animal — kidding dates, birth weights, growth measurements, vaccinations, deworming, treatments — drive smarter selection decisions and continual genetic progress.

A Simple Checklist for New Farmers

If you are starting out, even a basic daily checklist makes a huge difference. Cover four core tasks: feeding, watering, health inspection and cleaning of pens and water troughs.

Disciplined adherence to this routine alone can dramatically reduce disease incidence and lift performance — building a solid foundation for any Sirohi or Sirohi–Boer flock.

Routine, Records & Results

What we record we can improve — and what we improve compounds year over year. The combination of routine and records is what turns a goat shed into a profitable enterprise.
