Fast Feed, Fast Fatten, Fast Fortune: The Future of Livestock Farming!
The technology is an intensive feeding method implemented within feedlots to efficiently bring animals to slaughter weight with optimal fat deposits. These facilities are strategically located near livestock markets and slaughterhouses, aiming for three rounds of fattening per year. The timing is often synchronized with festive seasons, capitalizing on peak demand and market prices. This approach not only ensures rapid and profitable turnover but also aligns with market dynamics, making goat and sheep fattening a lucrative and market-responsive agricultural practice.
