Growing Our Dexter’s World Farm: Expanding and Innovating
Hello, everyone! Welcome back to Dexter’s World Channel. Today, I am thrilled to share some exciting updates from our farm, highlighting our recent expansions and the innovative steps we’re taking to enhance the welfare of our animals.
Expanding Our Horizons
As our community of animals grows each week, we’re continually expanding our facilities to accommodate new members. Recently, we’ve been focusing on developing areas for our ostriches and potentially for a new peacock farm. These expansions not only provide more space for our animals but also allow us to diversify the experiences we offer to visitors.
Enhancements to Our Boathouse
One of our significant projects has been upgrading our boathouse. We’re nearing completion, with the installation of new lighting that promises to transform the space into a vibrant hub for gatherings and events. The integration of modern materials and efficient designs not only ensures durability but also enhances the overall aesthetics of our farm.
Commitment to Animal Health
In our last update, we introduced new breeder goats from the prestigious Mount Carmel farm. Adjusting to a new home can be stressful for animals, and we’ve taken several measures to ensure their comfort and health:
- Iron Supplements: To aid in their recovery from the stress of relocation, we’ve administered iron injections to our goats, which have proven effective in boosting their overall vitality.
- Mineral Supplements: We’ve also introduced mineral blocks that contain essential nutrients like calcium and magnesium, crucial for the goats’ health and well-being.
Practical Tips for Goat Farming
Through managing our growing goat population, I’ve gathered valuable insights that I’d like to share:
- Avoid Wet Grass in Early Mornings: Wet grass can cause diarrhea in goats, so we gather grass in the afternoon to feed them the next morning.
- Regular Feeding: Ensuring goats are not overly hungry is crucial as it prevents them from being aggressive when food is finally available.
- Use of Shredder Machines: Shredding the grass before feeding helps reduce waste, as it prevents the goats from dropping significant portions of their meal on the ground.
Integrating Technology and Care
We are always looking for ways to improve efficiency on the farm. The use of shredder machines has significantly cut down on waste and has made feeding more effective. Additionally, the preparation of goat meals, including corn bran and added vitamins, ensures our goats receive all the necessary nutrients to thrive.
Looking Ahead: Goals for the Mega Goat Farm
As we continue to care for and monitor the health of our goats, especially tackling issues like eye infections, our goal is to transform our operations into a mega goat farm. This involves not only expanding our physical space but also enhancing our breeding programs to ensure healthy and robust future generations of goats.
