They also make money from the dung compost, like millions. he takes special care to the animals as they are given grass for three meals a day. He mixes protein powder in water so that animals would increase its weight. After 21 days, animals are prescribed drug and injections so as to avoid illness and diseases.
The Business
Each goat is sold by one lakh of rupees. he has more than 100 goats of African bore species, whose weight reaches 120 to 150 kg in a year. During the Eid, Tejas’ goats are sold in the range of 70 thousand to 1 lakh rupees.
