Id like to raise goats in north east thailand. anybody help me out?? D
you need a male and a female to start
actually, a dozen females would be better
According to my research. Chickens were first domesticated by the people who lived in North Thailand Laos area 3 to 4 thousands years ago. How did they do that? Pigs were first raised in the same area. Now that was easy, you just keep putting somethings the porkers liked and then you made friends with them. I raised three pigs last summer. OMG that's the best pork I have eaten since I was a boy on my grandfathers farm. The 8 year old refused to eat it she said "why did you have to kill Charlie" Big mistake naming the pigs.
I started with 1 rooster and 9 hens and in two months I now have 15 chicks and they are hatching daily.. I let them run "free range" and give them food every few days as they are foragers.. Im really looking at this as a business now after seeing how easy it is... Everyday one hatches, Its at least another 100 baht.
My wife has 60 rai of teak which her father planted but I don't see us being able to benefit much from them as they need to be at least a healthy 50 up to cut them , then you need a license to cut them that's if they are still there,some are missing already . We also have a rai on a waterway off the chao paya which I use as a hobby mainly organic fruit trees and some fish in the waterways between the trees and a pond ,give away most of the fruit and the wife makes E M ,soaps and shampoos etc which she sells .
We are planning on retiring on the 1 rai doing organic gardening herbs veg and fruit and selling to the community around us and visitors on boat can visit on Sunday's and have coffee and cake and light meals in a nice environment ... Well it's only a dream ,see what happens.
Hi HB.
Teak is not a bad idea, if you have the time to wait, it's a long term investment.
When the family says "no money" does that mean that raising pigs, chickens or cattle, cant make a profit or does it mean that the dont have the money to do it ?? [/quote]
I'm a funny one to be in SE Asia. I can't eat rice. Makes me sick. I live in Laos and the family is planning to move to Thakek,
They decided to raise chickens;
Step one: build a house for them and keep the chicks at 80F for about 1 month.
Do not let them out of the house and change the water every day or more often.
Step two: Gradually reduce the heat and watch to see who is the boss rooster, he will sit on the top rod.
Step three let them out of the house and watch to see if they are all back inside.
They didn't know chickeds could fly. So they never asked me how to grow chickens so they wound up roosting in the trees and on the neighbors roof, ha.
Of course they had 100 chickens in the space for 10 and did;t change the water so they all died, within 3 days. End of chicken experiment.
I would like to grow sweet potatoes, more vitamins than ma falong amd ok for hot humid climates.
Do any of you guys know where I can buy some ducks around Pattaya /Sattahip area. They are Mallard type.
I want about half a dozen females, I have 3 males ( 2 males plus I think they turned one into a ladyboy!).
I think one male to two females should be about the right ratio.
Any help will be much appreciated.
To the Op
Look at sugar cane in your area,
buyers/tractor workmen/ price per rai of seed
we are getting 14.000 per rai, and it is rice land,
get the right right variety like (khon kaen 3 ) or higher,
we did 3.5 rai two season ago
and just planted another 10 rai.
here i get seed for 20.000 a rai but a rai of seed will plant about 10-12 rai plus tractor and work men for another 1.000 a rai, fertilizer is free from my pigs but it could be another 800.00 baht per rai
weeding is about 2.500 and thats is it,
it will be a lot cheaper if you can do it yourselfish.
i have my own tractor, i do the weeding my self and as i said i have pig shit to use,
look into it, you can make profit from it,
Sorry about me horrible speling
