Passion for the animal and the sector is why Capro was founded. We want to be a sparring partner and source of information for dairy goat farmers, veterinarians, consultants and other persons involved in the dairy goat sector worldwide. For us, goats are not part of our job, but are our job. Practical applicability of knowledge and skills, all about goats. Worldwide we focus on tailor made on-farm consultancy, providing training courses, knowledge transfer by our online goat database and enabling animal registration with use of our management system.
What can you expect from Capro worldwide? We want to form an international network, where all knowledge, skills and practical experience about dairy goat farming come together. We offer personal, custom-made advice for goat farmers, vets and advisors. Our consultancy services can vary from fertility up to nutrition and from kid rearing up to animal health. Consultants with a lot of own practical experience with goat farming. Modern tools to monitor health and production, among others. This strong combination of experienced people and modern techniques create a unique opportunity to elevate the dairy goat farm.
What do the tools and subscriptions consist of? And who are they for? Dairy goat farmers and all other persons involved in the sector can choose form different tools and plans that we offer. Our tools are focusing on animal administration, monitoring farm occasions with use of a real-time dashboard and an online knowledge database about goats and goat farming. Our consultancy plans are custom-made and can be split into on-farm advice and providing training and courses. If desired, we can also take care of providing goat specific premixes and other necessities.
How can you make use of it? You can customize it completely to your needs. For example, our database CaproInsight can be an option, if there is only need for more knowledge and insight in goats.
