identification for investment. The project pre-feasibility may form the basis of an important
investment decision and in order to serve this objective, the document/study covers various aspects
of project concept development, start-up, production, marketing, finance and business
management.
The purpose of this document is to facilitate potential investors in goat fattening farm by providing
them with a general understanding of the business with the intention of supporting potential
investors in crucial investment decisions.
The need to come up with pre-feasibility reports for undocumented or minimally documented
sectors attains greater imminence as the research that precedes such reports reveal certain thumb
rules; best practices developed by existing enterprises by trial and error, and certain industrial
norms that become a guiding source regarding various aspects of business set-up and it’s
successful management.
Apart from carefully studying the whole document one must consider critical aspects provided later

range of Rs. 100,000 to Rs. 500,000, with Debt: Equity 90:10 and 6% markup to borrower, and, Tier
2 loans are from Rs. 500,000 to Rs. 5 Million, with Debt: Equity 80:20 and 8% markup to borrower.
Both loans are for a period of upto 8 years with a grace period of 1 year.
Application forms are available both in branches and dedicated websites of National Bank of
Pakistan, Bank of Punjab and Bank of Khyber.
Pre-Feasibility Study Goat Fattening Farm
5. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The project is related to setting up goat fattening farm in which, young goats preferably males are
raised on nutritionally balanced feed or Total Mixed Ration (TMR) to get the targeted weight gain of
greater value. These goats are grown in groups and each batch stays on farm for a period of 120
days. The expected live body weight gain ranges between 120 - 140 grams/day. Higher yields are
achievable with better farm management and better quality breeds such as Teddy for meat
production.
Goats are raised in rural and semi-urban areas where there is abundance of fresh water, fodder
and natural vegetation. The fattened goats are sold primarily in livestock markets (mandies). A farm
of maximum capacity for 660 goats per annum is suggested in this pre-feasibility study as a viable
economic size to enter this business. Total estimated investment of Rs. 2.31 million is required with
fixed investment of Rs. 0.51 million and working capital of Rs. 1.80 million (the working capital is for
one batch of goats). The Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Net Present Value (NPV) & payback period
of the project are 48%, Rs. 7.28 million and 2.23 years respectively. The proposed project is a sole-
proprietorship.
The proposed project is based on raising 660 goats per year in a farm in three production batches,
each having 220 goats in one batch of 120 days. The goats (preferably males, however, females
may also be used in case of unavailability of males) of 6-8 months of age are fed on nutritionally
balanced concentrate ration or Total Mixed Ration (TMR) as major source of energy and protein in
addition to green fodder for a period of 120 days to get higher body weight gain. Initial live body
weight of goats is around 15 kg. If these goats are fed properly on formulated fattening feed, an
additional weight, up to 15 kg can be achieved. The daily weight gain varies between 120 to 140
grams depending on the quality of feed given to them. This project will provide direct employment to
four people. The proposed business may be established in rural and peri-urban areas of major
cities such as Pattoki, Sahiwal, Bahawalnagar, Rahim Yar Khan, Jehlum, Mandi Bahauddin,
Bahawalpur, Karachi, Sakkar, Dadu, Hyderabad, Peshawar, Charsadda, D.I. Khan, Lasbela, Qila
Saifullah, Quetta etc. The farm should be located in a place where there is abundant availability of
fodder, natural vegetation and water. Although, there is year round market, however the demand
increases especially before occasions like Eid-ul- Azha, where well fed animals are sold at a higher
price than usual weight based price.
7. CRITICAL FACTORS
Background knowledge and related experience of the entrepreneur in goat farm operations.
Application of good husbandry practices such as timely feeding, watering and vaccination to
ensure animal’s health and disease-free environment.
Awareness of the supply and demand of goats in the market both for general consumption
and sacrificial purpose.
The project will operate at 100% of its capacity in its first year of operations; hence, the farm will
start its operations with fattening of 660 goats. The farm will be operating on its maximum
production capacity of 660 goats (100% of installed capacity) from the very first year of operations.
This project is intended to setup in a rural and peri-urban areas of all the major cities like Lahore,
Faisalabad, Sargodha, Bahawalpur, Islamabad, Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkar, Quetta, Lasbela,
Peshawar and D.I. Khan, as these are major markets of meat. Farm land and rural areas with
abundant water, good soil for fodder and natural vegetation for goats make it a better choice for
goat farming; provided there is access to livestock mandies and veterinary services.
Apart from major cities, livestock markets in all the cities and peri-urban locations across the
country are the primary markets in addition to specially arranged locations in larger cities during Eid
festival in the urban markets. The price of fattened goats varies according to health of animals and
market conditions. Normally animals are sold on ‘Live Body Weight’ basis. In this feasibility, Rs. 500
per kg of live body weight is assumed as selling price. Following are some of the target clients for
goat fattening farmers;
Livestock traders
Butchers
Contractors
Selection of good goat breed: There are 37 breeds of goats reported in Pakistan, among which,
good breeds are considered to be; Beetal, Dera Din Panah and Teddy in Punjab, Barbari and
Kamori in Sindh, Kaghani and Jatal in Khyber Pakhtunkhawa, and Khurassani, Lehri and Pahari in
Balochistan. The availability of young stock is not a problem as twinning, triplet kidding and early
maturity are common features of goats.
Teddy is a meat type, small sized breed, kept for good meat production and conformation with 52-
55% dressing percentage. After fattening, the fat to muscle composition is also acceptable. Beetal
goat is more desirable for Eid-ul-Azha as it has higher weights and more marbling with higher
dressing percentage.
Selection of animals with excellent body score and conditions: initial live body weight should be
around 12-15 kg at 6-8 months of age. Small and emaciated animals may also be accepted for
fattening as research shows that these animals respond positively in terms of feed efficiency.
Housing: should be dry, comfortable and airy with proper and frequent removal of droppings, urine
Pre-Feasibility Study Goat Fattening Farm
and waste material (droppings can be used as bio fertilizer for growing crops/ fodder). Farm should
be established on scientific lines with adequate space allocation according to the number of goats.
It should be built east-west length wise to permit maximum day light and sun for natural disinfection.
A dipping bath pit of approximately 15-20 sq.ft is necessary for giving the dip of medicines mixed
water to young stock for removing external parasites.
Feeding: Adequate weight gain can be achieved through use of balanced feed purchased from well
reputed companies or it can be formulated accordingly. Animal should be fed TMR @ 3 % of live
body weight. Additionally, salt blocks can help in better daily weight gains. Green fodder is offered
at 5% of body weight (wet basis) to every animal.
Watering: Daily supply of clean drinking water in clean troughs i.e. 5 to 10 liters of water
consumption/animal/day maintains the production capacity of the animal. Due to TMR and salt
offered, animal tends to consume more water.
Disease management: Timely vaccination against infectious diseases and timely medication for
endo-parasitic infestations. Following is a tentative schedule for vaccination;
