Our expertise lies in the promotion of Vellai goats, specifically the Kanni and Kodi breeds. These goats are known for being the tallest and darkest breeds found in Tamil Nadu. They are easily identified by the two white stripes on their face, ears, and neck.

Both male and female goats have horns, with males weighing between 35 to 40 kg and females weighing between 25 to 30 kg. These goats only ovulate for the first time after eight to ten months, and subsequently give birth once every seven months. They are capable of bearing two to three young at a time, with Kida lambs weighing around 2.1 kg at birth and Keta lambs weighing around 2 kg.
