Singapore Farm Visit 2

Today I visited Lim Chu kang Farm sites again. This time went there with 2 pretty ladies.Fei and Cynthia. Because these 2 ladies couldn't put up with the hot weather, we just pop in 2 farm sites only... Goat farm and Aero-gas farm. I still want to see frog farm and organic veggies farm actually. Looking forward to them in next time...!  

All goat milked mechanically, manual milking is not allowed in Singapore for hygienic reason.

Each goat has 2 breasts and nipples while cow has 4 (b&n).  They can produce 4 L milk/ day. Cows can produce 20 L milk/day. Such a huge difference, no wonder goat milk costs more expensive. S$2 /200ml. The life of goat is supposed to be 12 years while their milking life is only for 10 years. Cuz, same as human, if they give birth at an old age, the kids "baby goat" might get troublesome diseases. So the farm stop their sexual life after at their 10 years of age.  

They 're pumping the raw milk from the goat mother. Then the milk must send to pasteurize before packing. 

After the goat died, their meat is not allowed to sell in public in Singapore. The government will buy it for hospital as for medical experiment and research instead. What the mutton is actually comes from sheep not from goat. Besides, goat meat is very expensive... S$80/ 100kg. 

 

Goat Barns

* Remember cow milk and goat milk should be drink seperately at least for 1 hour.Cuz goat milk is alkaline while cow milk is acidic. They can't be mixed, otherwise, it will cause diarrhoea. *

Aerogas Farm

 How come that tree looks like a fan?  

Adoption point. Public can adopt their own plant in this farm.

 

This farm owner is very considerate, providing a playground for kids.
