Advantage of stall fed Goat/Sheep

Following are the reasons why Stall fed goats/sheep are more profitable than open grazed goats/sheeps

1.    Conservation of Energy, which otherwise the animal would  waste its energy in hunting after the fodder. For example, a goat/sheep that has to travel farther for feed will have a higher maintenance requirement than goat/sheep in a feed lot.
2.    Better conversion of energy, available from fed and fodder into flesh and milk.
3.    Prevention of indiscriminate grazing, thereby offering optimum scope for re-growth of  fodder.
4.    Prevention of uncontrolled mating.
5.    Better collection and utilization of manure.
6.    Control and reduction of parasitic re-infestation.
7.    Close supervision and easy management.
8.    Easy access for record keeping.
9.    No danger from wild animals and predators.
