1. Kanni Goat:

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.
The Kanni Goat, with a white underbelly and inside legs, is referred to as Balkanni, while those with a reddish-brown color instead of white are known as Senkanni. 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.
By the age of one year, Kida goats grow to about 22 kg and Box goats to about 21 kg, with Kida goats reaching a height of approximately 76 cm and Kanni goats reaching a height of about 72 cm.

2.Kodi Goat:

We specialize in the promotion of Vellai goats, specifically the Kanni and Kodi breeds. The Kodi Goat is a breed native to Tamil Nadu, predominantly found in regions such as Ottapidaram, Vlathikulam, and Karunkulam in the Thoothukudi district. These goats have a slender body structure, standing tall with long legs and impressive horns. Their ears are moderately curved outwards. Adult males, known as Ikita, typically weigh around 37 kg, while females weigh approximately 31 kg. There are two variations of the Kodi Goat: Karumporai and Semphorai. Blackworms are identified by white spots on a black body or black spots on a white body, while erysipelas are characterized by white spots on a red body or red spots on a white body. These goats typically give birth to one or two offspring.
Kodi Goats have long legs and horns, reaching a height of three feet within 15 months of birth. Females can gain up to 15 kg in weight within seven months, while males can reach 20 kg in the same timeframe. The primary purpose of raising Kodi Goats is for meat production.
