Why should goats be kept in a raised shed with a porous floor?
1
/
0
A raised, porous floor allows waste like urine to drain away, reducing the risk of disease. Thanks to your support, Sandhaya received the materials to build a proper goat shed that keeps her animals dry, clean and protected.
Before her training, Sandhaya and others in her village didn’t realize how big a difference housing made for goat health. Now, she teaches this essential practice to other farmers — helping them raise stronger, healthier animals.

How is foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) treated and prevented in goats?
1
/
0
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in goats is a serious illness, but it’s both treatable and preventable. Sandhaya learned how to identify the signs — mouth ulcers, foaming, and hoof lesions — and how to treat them. More importantly, she learned that vaccination can prevent the disease entirely.
Before Heifer came to her community, many people believed only cattle could get FMD. Now, thanks to the knowledge your support helped provide, Sandhaya is protecting goats before they ever get sick.

Why is it important to recognize the signs of malnutrition in goats?

Detecting malnutrition early means a goat can be treated and returned to health — preventing loss of income for a family.
Sandhaya learned to recognize these warning signs during her training and now helps others do the same. Ultimately, she wants to ensure the goats in her community grow strong and healthy.

What is one reason goats are vulnerable to disease in unclean environments?

Unclean environments allow infection and disease to spread easily — especially in goat hooves and digestive systems.
That’s why Sandhaya teaches the importance of good hygiene, sharing simple changes that dramatically reduce disease. It’s not just about animal health — it’s about lifting entire communities out of poverty with healthier, more productive herds.

Ongoing education helps animal health workers identify new threats, provide better care, and teach best practices to farmers and families.
With each new training, Sandhaya learns better ways to care for animals — and she brings that knowledge straight to others. It’s a ripple effect of impact: you support Heifer, Heifer trains women like Sandhaya, and those women improve animal health across entire communities.
