Kuwait
Your Kuwait livestock pen, organised by numbers
Throf helps livestock pen (jakhour) owners in Kuwait record sheep, goats and camels and follow mating, lambing and vaccinations in one app. Know what each head costs you in feed and labour before you sell it, and follow your worker from your phone.
Sheep keeping in Kuwait is concentrated in the jawakheer and farm areas, and Naimi sheep are especially popular with Kuwaiti buyers, alongside goats and camels. Many owners run their pens as a passion or a side business next to their main job.
The climate is very hot and natural grazing is almost absent, so breeders rely on barley, alfalfa and compound feed, much of it imported. Feed and labour costs therefore decide a pen's profit more than anything else.
What breeders face
- The pen is far from homeOwners often visit at the weekend and rely on the worker's report for the rest of the week.
- High feed costsImported feed makes every day of delayed sale expensive, and without accurate figures the profit disappears.
- Missed lambing datesNot knowing which ewes are close to lambing raises newborn losses in the first days.
- Preparing stock for Eid al-AdhaPicking lambs of the right weight and age before Eid is hard when records live in a notebook or in memory.
How Throf helps
- Remote worker follow-upDaily tasks and permissions for each worker, with a work sheet and reports on your phone.

Seasons that matter
Eid al-Adha is the key season for Kuwait's livestock pens, followed by Ramadan and family occasions, when demand rises for Naimi lambs of the right weight.
