Oman
Your Omani herd, from Batinah to Dhofar
Throf helps goat, sheep and camel breeders in Oman record every animal and follow mating, births and vaccinations in one app. Whether your herd is on a farm in Batinah or grazing the Dhofar mountains, your records and expenses stay in your pocket.
Oman's landscapes range from coastal plains to mountains and desert. Local goats such as the Batinah and Jabal Akhdar goats, Omani sheep and camels, especially common in Sharqiyah, Al Wusta and Dhofar, are kept across the country.
The sector combines traditional keeping in villages, mountains and the desert with larger feed-based farms. In Dhofar, the khareef monsoon brings temporary green pasture that shapes herd movement and feeding through the year.
What breeders face
- Scattered, moving herdsA herd may be split between the farm, the pasture and the mountain, making counts and births hard to track.
- Pasture changes with the seasonThe green khareef is followed by dry months when reliance on purchased feed and its cost rises.
- Tracking dams and kidsGoats often have twins, and without records it is hard to know which dams are the most productive.
- Health and vaccinationHerds mixing on shared pasture make following the vet's vaccination advice essential and hard to track.
How Throf helps
- Groups and pensSplit the herd into groups by location or pen and see each group's numbers and births at any time.
- Seasonal feed and expensesRecord meals, feed stock in kg and expenses to see the cost of the dry months and your cost per head.
- A production record per damFollow each dam's births, twins, triplets and miscarriages and keep the best mothers.
- Health remindersLog vaccinations, treatments, inspections and isolation, with reminders based on your vet's or ministry schedule.
Seasons that matter
Eid al-Adha is Oman's main season for goat and sheep sales, with demand also rising in Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr, while the Dhofar khareef sets grazing times in the south.
