Sudan
Your Sudanese herd, from the pen to the market
Throf helps sheep, goat and camel breeders in Sudan keep a record for every animal and follow mating, lambing and vaccinations instead of relying on memory. Know what each head cost you before you sell to a trader or for export.
Sudan is one of the region's major livestock countries, known for its desert sheep such as Hamari, Kabashi and Watish, Nubian and desert goats, and camels grazing in Kordofan, Darfur, the Butana and the east.
Most herds are pastoral and move between rainy-season pastures and water points in the dry season, alongside fattening farms near cities and ports. The market is closely tied to exports of sheep and camels to the Gulf and Egypt.
What breeders face
- Mobile herdsMoving between pastures makes it hard to count animals, births and losses without a fixed record.
- Drought and poor grazingA late rainy season and a dry summer raise feed needs and pull down herd weights.
- Export requirementsTraders and exporters want animals of a set age, weight and health status, and no records weakens the breeder's position.
- Epidemic diseasesDiseases such as PPR require following the vaccination programmes of local vets.
How Throf helps
- A record that moves with youYour whole herd on your phone: numbers, births, losses and groups, wherever the camp is.
- Feed, water and weightsLog meals, feed stock, water and weights to follow the impact of drought and the cost of the hard months.
- Proof of age and weightBirth date, weight, breed and vaccinations for each head, so you can present your animals to buyers with confidence.
- Vaccination and isolationRecord vaccinations, treatments and isolation cases, with reminders based on your local vet's programme.
Seasons that matter
Eid al-Adha and the Hajj season are the peak of demand for Sudanese sheep at home and for export, while the rainy season decides pasture and herd condition before sale.
