Iraq
Your herd in Iraq, organised by numbers
Throf helps sheep, goat and camel breeders in Iraq record every head and follow mating, pregnancy, lambing and vaccinations in one app. Know what each head costs you in feed, treatment and labour before you sell it, and follow your workers from your phone.
Sheep are Iraq's main livestock, mostly Awassi, with Karadi in the north and Hamdani, alongside goat flocks and camels in the western and southern Badia. Breeding stretches from Nineveh and Anbar to the middle Euphrates and the south.
Many breeders move between natural pasture in spring and barley and bran feeding in summer and winter, and profit depends on feed prices and epidemic diseases. Organised records of vaccinations, weights and expenses protect the flock and show the real profit.
What breeders face
- Large flocks, no recordsManaging hundreds of head from memory loses the dam, age and weight when you sell or mate.
- Diseases and vaccination datesOne missed vaccination can cost the whole flock, especially when animals move between pastures.
- Summer feed costRelying on barley and bran without pasture raises cost per head without the breeder knowing the figure.
- Peak demand seasonsPreparing animals at the right weight for Eid al-Adha and occasions needs early sorting of the flock.
