E-book on Mega Green's Animal Husbandry Program.
Background
The Mega Green Animal Husbandry Program is designed to support farmers in integrating dairy farming and goat rearing into their agricultural practices, creating a stable subsidiary income. The program focuses on providing high-quality cattle and goat breeds, veterinary services, training on proper care, and sustainable farm management techniques. Additionally, Mega Green promotes the utilization of cow dung for organic manure and biogas production, ensuring an eco-friendly approach to farming.
This initiative aims to improve farmers' livelihoods by enhancing milk production, providing an alternative revenue stream, and maximizing the benefits of livestock through waste management and energy production. Mega Green Nature is committed to ensuring that farmers have the knowledge, resources, and technical support needed to manage their livestock efficiently.
