How can black goat farming develop in a way that wins by a surprise move?
Black goat meat has fine muscle fibers, low hardness, tender meat, a delicious taste, very little gamey odor, and high nutritional value. Its farming standards are based on scientific goat raising as the basis and important parameters, and are of great significance for the rational use of feeding resources, fully tapping the production potential of black goats, and reducing feeding costs. So in developing black goat farming, how can one win by a surprise move?
Although developing black goat farming in rural areas is simple, farmers still need to consider matters comprehensively. In order to keep black goat farming invincible in the industry, to make the black goats produced fully meet customer needs, and to center on market demand, large-scale black goat farms must regularly conduct thorough market research. First, investigate the market's development trends, the impact of political factors and policy factors on this industry, the direction of high-tech development in this industry, market demand in each region, customers' purchasing power, purchasing desire, purchasing psychology, and so on; second, investigate the situation, strength, market share, product advantages and disadvantages, and development trends of the main competitors in the same industry, as well as marketing strategies such as price, sales channels, advertising, and service quality, and investigate whether any new competitors have recently entered the market. The black goat farm's self-analysis should include a thorough understanding of the farm's competitive environment, market visibility, promotional effectiveness, goat quality and user results, the market potential of the farm's black goats, the quality of employees and their ability to accept new ideas and new technologies, technical strength and its application, corporate culture, management level, production costs, and other aspects, carefully analyzing the enterprise's advantages and disadvantages in market competition, and analyzing the opportunities and threats brought by the market environment. What advantages have not been brought into play, what opportunities have not been seized, what weaknesses have not been overcome, what is hindering the development of the enterprise, how to eliminate threats to survive and seek development, and so on, so as to know both oneself and the enemy and win every battle.
Black goats are unlike other livestock products; they have their own particularity. When doing market research, the first thing to consider is whether there is a local market for purchasing them. If selling through other channels (such as processing on one's own), consider how many mutton users there are within a certain distance. When investigating the black goat sales market, it is necessary both to understand the current market situation and to predict the future potential market situation, making predictions based on the local economic development status and potential, the number and structure of residents, residents' income levels, purchasing power, and dietary habits. In addition, while investigating the local black goat sales market, it is also necessary to understand the local black goat sales prices and the buyback prices of breeding stock bases, and so on.
When introducing black goats, farmers also need to consider their adaptability. If a goat, or a black goat flock, wants to survive in a place, it must first adapt to the local climate composition, nutritional structure, disease composition, and other natural and artificial environments. So-called survival of the fittest: survival is not premised on who grows fastest, but on who can adapt. If the adaptability of a black goat flock is low, it will lead to stress reactions after introduction, reduce its own benefits, and even lead to the scrapping of the flock. There are many kinds of black goats, and selection should be based on the climate conditions of each place and the adaptability of the black goats themselves. Weiyan black goat belongs to the meat-type breed; it has advantages such as a tall body, relatively fast growth and development, good meat production performance, high reproductive capacity, and strong adaptability. It is suitable for farming at altitudes below 2500 m, and at present many agricultural areas in the south are also vigorously developing it. Black goats are herbivorous livestock that mainly eat roughage. To maintain the growth of the goats, a certain amount of concentrate feed is also needed. Black goats have a large feed intake and have demand for feed, especially roughage and dregs-type feed. Because of their large volume, in order to save transportation costs, it is best to use local materials. Therefore, it is necessary to understand whether forage grass and green feed corn can be planted locally or nearby; whether there are wild green grass resources and crop straw that can be used; and whether there are by-products from grain or other crop processing (such as wheat bran, corn husk, soybean hull, soybean cake, cottonseed cake, rapeseed cake) that can be used. In addition, while investigating local feed resources, it is also necessary to understand the prices of various feeds.
