Artisanal breeding manual for broilers, laying hens and dairy goats
In 2008, Dominic Lamontagne and his wife Amélie decided to settle in Sainte-Lucie-des-Laurentides with their two children, motivated by a desire to get away from the asphalt, take the key to the fields and learn to feed themselves on their own. Much to their surprise, the project encountered numerous regulatory hurdles. Despite these constraints, they managed to build a food production farm on less than a hectare of cleared land, with a small number of dairy goats, laying hens and broiler chickens.
Step by step, taking into account the legislative framework and environmental standards in force, this practical guide, featuring over 250 illustrations by the author, teaches you how to :
raise laying hens, broilers and dairy goats on less than one hectare of land;
give preference to seasonal rearing on pasture;
build a mobile cage for raising broilers and a mobile henhouse for laying hens, a milking table for goats and a small poultry slaughterhouse, with illustrations;
produce, process and cook your own eggs, poultry and dairy products;
make fresh cheese and goat’s milk soap;
create a self-sustaining ecosystem to ensure your livelihood.
