There are many decent ways to make good money. It could be farming through small garden plots or backyard and a lot of people are using these methods to earn part-time or full-time incomes.

Rearing grasscutters in this type of space is one of the best ways to earn good money.

Grasscutters (a rodent family), like many rodent species have been a delicacy in a number of countries. Countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia where market exists for a variety of rodent species for consumption, grasscutters are often preferred over other sources of meat.

The vast majority of these animals which are gathered from the wild and several species have been hunted so extensively that they are now extinct. And this offers small scale farmers, investors, businessmen and all those with wealth-mind set, an economic incentive for raising grasscutters in captivity.

Grasscutters are widely distributed and valued in West and Central Africa. The meat is of a higher protein but lower fat content than domesticated farm meat and it is also appreciated for its tenderness and taste. More recently, intensive production of grasscutters has been undertaken in many African countries, including Nigeria.

Grasscutters are not the most prolific of rodent species but the high demand, attract market price and small amount of investment required makes grasscutters a suitable mini-livestock activity for income generation in many parts of Nigeria. There are few Nigerians today who are making brisk business in Grasscutter rearing.

Grasscutter farming, if pursued with the benefit of the right information and knowledge now available, is a very viable commercial venture. Grasscutters are mainly herbivorous; require neither imported component of food nor expensive medical expenses if strict hygiene is maintained.They are easy and very cheap to raise.Gestation period of the grasscutter are about 154 days or five month. Grasscutter meat is a delicacy in Nigeria today and is served in big hotels and restaurants as well as joints patronised by middle to high level people.  Read more...
