However, commercial Boer Goat farming (any livestock farming essentially) requires a significant level of planning, production management, projections and other aspects in order to operate as efficiently and profitably as possible. This course on Developing a Production Plan will show you what aspects need to be considered, what activities need to be applied to which group of animals how and when, in order to meet a predetermined objective.<\/p>\n<h4>Downloadable Materials Included:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Produksiesiklusbeplanner<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Viewable Materials Included:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Video: Heat Indicators<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"featured_media":16484,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[145],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-17804","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-online-courses","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"virtual","11":"sold-individually","12":"purchasable","13":"product-type-course"},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boergoats.co.za\/af\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/17804","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boergoats.co.za\/af\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boergoats.co.za\/af\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/www.boergoats.co.za\/af\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/17804\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18562,"href":"https:\/\/www.boergoats.co.za\/af\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/17804\/revisions\/18562"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boergoats.co.za\/af\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16484"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boergoats.co.za\/af\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17804"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boergoats.co.za\/af\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=17804"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boergoats.co.za\/af\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=17804"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boergoats.co.za\/af\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=17804"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
