From Nigeria, I just bought twenty thousand naira worth of dung for use in my farm. Yes you are on point farmers buy animal dung for improving farm fertility.

In Uganda, goat dung is the most thought after organic manure. Used in coffee and banana plantations. The urine is used for fertilizer too. Though it's quite scarce when compare to cow dung. The belief is that goats dung stays longer in the garden for it disintegrates gradually

Watching you from Uganda we use animal dung for banana plantation, maize, coffee , vegetables and any other things for farming, we mix together with the soil first like a week before we plant anything but if you're going to plant like tree you've to dig the hole first then after you put dung about one weeks then you put the plant but if you're going to plant vegetables like spinach you've to mix dung with the soil in the place where you're going to put those vegetables simple as that.

Great video Fred. However, I think raising a slanted pavement at the bottom would make it easier to clean/collect the dung afterwards.

Great video, the main reason why it's beneficial to raise goat hse is Ammonia discharge from the goat dung which affects goat respiratory disease ,this one the ammon evaporated is less by the time it reaches the goat herd.so it's more to do with biosecurity

Thank you very much for your coaching and inspiring farmers. As for now I think we have the biggest housing till you completed your project in Sierra Leone Northwest Kambia District, Gbalamuya Town. I will like to send you some pictures of our farm. The one raised shed is completed the other one is on construction.

I think the goat farmer in Akuse is called Henry Adobor ( Green Acres farm). He imported some boer goats to Ghana some time in the early 2000s, if i remember correctly. Unfortunately, i seems his website is no more active, so there is not much info online apart from a few blogpages.

Hi Fred, thanks for sharing this. It looks like you treated the bottom part of the poles you used. If that’s the case, I suppose it’s against pest or decay. What did you use for the treatment? Thanks

Good idea Fred, but the height under the pen does not seem to be high enough for easy access for sweeping.

Hi Fred, just came across this and wanted to add some ideas I came across as I did some research on goat pens. Farmers in Pakistan were using the raised pens but plastic flooring with interlocking mechanisms to connect them together. Underneath a slanting metal sheet was inserted to collect the dung. Here is a link to a presentation I found helpful to show this. kzread.info/dash/bejne/imSm2pSSg5bZprA.html
