The Oldest and Biggest goat on the farm
I am so excited about this post of mine, hehehe... I will share with you about my experience to Tomui Integrated Farm. Located in Kampung Tomui, some where along Inobong road. In order to get to Jalan Inobong, you will have to take the Jalan Papar Lama route. The junction to Jalan Inobong is at the left side from the main road (Jalan Papar Lama) and it is about 3 minutes drive from Donggongon Town. Along the way, you will pass by few more kampungs before you reach the junction of Kampung Tomui which is at the left hand side of the road (Jalan Inobong). There is a new housing (flat) development on going right before the Kampung Tomui junction. Hope the direction thing is good enough, I tried my best. :) ..ooo..those of you who have been to St. Theresa Church Inobong, I am sure you will know which junction it is.
Ok, back to the farm. I got to know this farm from a friend of mine, Ms. Fanny Kinajil, which is also the owner of the farm. Tomui Integrated Farm is mainly doing goat farming. According to Fanny, the setting up of their farming project was in October 2006 and business implementation started only in January 2007. They started only with 5 young goat to rear and it was quite a tough time for them in the early stage of the business where they lost 4 of their goats and spend a lot of time learning and experimenting on how to take good care of their goats. All of these paid off at last for now they have manage to multiply their herds to 120 and still counting. :)
One thing which I need to express here about this farm is that, the moment I am out of my vehicle, I did not actually get that uneasy smell of an animal poo poo.. not until Fanny ask me " ada kau tecium bau tai itu kambing ka bila ko sampai?" Only then my brain started to tell me that I was suppose to smell the bau tai kambing. :) Actually, this incident tells me indirectly that they are very particular about the cleanliness of their farm. I have to step on the antiseptic liquid before I can go in and out of the goat house. Well, I have to give them credit for the cleanliness of their farm when I visited Fanny that day.
The exciting part about this farm is that, some of the goats here actually have a name! As I when in to the goat house, I notice that the goat are separated in to a groups by a partition. If I am not mistaken they are separated according to what breed they are. They have their maternity ward for goat as well. hehehe...its sound funny but its true, any mother goat that need to deliver baby, they will be put into a cage just for themselves up until they deliver and their kid is independent enough to feed themselves then only the mother goat can join the others.
At the moment, they have few type of breed such as boers, ferrel and local breed. They never actually let their goats out from the goat house. This is because they don't want the goat to get infected by deceases out there. They feed their goat with napeir leaves (rumput gajah) which they grew themselves, local leaves, soy meals, corn and other concentrate. When I listen to Fanny on how exactly she take care of the goats, it is actually not easy because they do need a lot of TLC (tender loving care) like human. hehehe... oo..and one more thing, in lay man words, goat also need pedicure. :)
These goats are mainly breed to satisfy the goat meat industry locally. Tomui Integrated Farm only sell live goat and it cost around RM 25.00 per Kilo (Boer goat). I have learn that boers's meat are more tender. hhmm.. hope this post of have been informative enough for you. If you wish to have more info about the farm or just feel like wanna post something on this post regarding to the topic, please post your comment on the comment box.
