One of the primary reasons why Nubian goat genetics are so popular is that these goats are excellent milk producers. Nubian goats are known for their ability to produce rich, creamy milk with a high butterfat content. This makes them an ideal choice for dairy farmers who are looking to improve the quality and quantity of milk that their herds produce. For example, SMART Reproduction’s Woest-Hoeve Mr. Martin’s dam has a verified peak lactation of 2600 lbs. and a 13.7 lbs. daily peak production.
Another advantage of using frozen semen from our Nubian sires, is that thier breeders routinely utilize the ADGA Linear Appraisal program in addition to DHIA. This means that generational conformation and udder quality information are available for potential buyers. Animals that have the genetic propensity to create animals with higher quality udder attachments and more sound feet and legs are going to produce more over the length of their lives. By incorporating these Nubian genetics into their herds, farmers can help to reduce the incidence of mastitis and other diseases, leading to healthier and more productive animals.
While Nubian goats are primarily known for their milk production, they also make excellent meat goats. Nubian goats have a relatively large frame and produce meat that is lean, tender, and flavorful. This makes them a great choice for farmers who are looking to improve the quality and quantity of their meat production.
Finally, Nubian goats are known for their calm and docile temperament, making them easy to handle and work with. This makes them an ideal choice for farmers who are looking to improve their herds without having to deal with the challenges of managing difficult or temperamental animals.
Nubian goat genetics offer a range of benefits for farmers looking to improve their herds. From their high milk production to their hardiness and adaptability, Nubian goats are an excellent choice for farmers around the world. By incorporating Nubian genetics into their herds, farmers can help to improve the quality and productivity of their livestock, leading to healthier animals and increased profitability.
