Country guidesLivestock Farming in Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain: A Practical Guide
Livestock farming in Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain: breeds, Eid and Ramadan demand, heat, feed costs and records that keep small Gulf farms profitable.
Qatar
Your Qatar farm, with clear records
Throf helps farm owners in Qatar manage camels, sheep and goats from their phone: one record per animal, mating, pregnancy and calving follow-up, and vaccination reminders. It puts expenses and cost per head in front of you so you know where your farm stands.
Camels are closely tied to Qatari identity, from racing at Al Shahaniya to camel beauty contests and milk production. Family farms (ezba) are found across the north and centre of the country, keeping sheep and goats next to camels.
Summers are very hot and grazing is limited, so farms depend on feed, water and shade, and on hired workers for daily tasks. Breeders are increasingly interested in organising local production and keeping better records.
What breeders face
- The owner is away from the farmMost owners work in Doha and visit the farm from time to time, missing the day-to-day details.
- Lineage drives camel valueA camel's breed, dam and sire decide its value in racing and shows, and losing that information hurts the price.
- Heat and herd healthThe long summer calls for close follow-up of water, weight, sick animals and isolation.
- Untracked expensesBuying feed and medicine and paying workers without records leaves the real profit unknown.
How Throf helps
- Daily tasks and reportsAssign tasks to workers with set permissions and follow the daily work sheet from your phone in Doha.
- Lineage for every animalLink each calf to its dam and sire and keep breed, photo and weight in one record that does not get lost.
- Health follow-up and isolationLog treatments, inspections, illnesses and isolation, with vaccination reminders based on your vet's schedule.
- Accurate profit figuresExpenses, sales, cost per head and net profit calculated automatically from your data.
Seasons that matter
Eid al-Adha and Ramadan are the peak seasons for sheep sales in Qatar, while camel activity peaks in winter with racing and beauty contests.
