1. DISCLAIMER
This information memorandum is to introduce the subject matter and provide a general idea and
information on the subject. Although, the material included in this document is based on data / information
generated from experiments and field testing by a team of relevant scientists; however, it is based upon
certain assumptions which may differ from case to case. The contained information may vary due to any
change in any of the concerned factors, and the actual results may differ accordingly from the presented
information. The PARC and its employees do not assume any liability for any financial or other loss
resulting from this memorandum in consequence of undertaking this activity. The prospective user of this
memorandum is encouraged to contact qualified consultant/technical expert, especially designated focal
person(s) of this enterprise for reaching to an informed decision.

2. PURPOSE OF DOCUMENT
The purpose of this document is to facilitate potential investors in Goat Fattening by providing them with
a general understanding of the business, with the intention of supporting potential investors in crucial
investment decisions. 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, finance, and business management. The need to come up with prefeasibility 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, certain industrial norms and well established research findings that become a
guiding source regarding various aspects of business set-up and its successful management. Apart from
carefully studying the whole document, one must consider critical aspects provided later on, which form
the basis of investment decisions.

INTRODUCTION TO SCHEME
Prime Ministers Youth Business Loan Program, for young entrepreneurs, with an allocated budget of Rs.
5.0 Billion for the year 2013-14, is designed to provide subsidized financing at 8% mark-up per annum for
one hundred thousand (100,000) beneficiaries, through designated financial institutions, initially through
National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) and First Women Bank Ltd. (FWBL). Loans from Rs. 0.1 million to Rs.
2.0 million with tenure up to 8 years inclusive of 1 year grace period, and a debt: equity of 90: 10 will be
disbursed to SME beneficiaries across Pakistan, covering; Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,
Balochistan, Gilgit-Baltistan, Azad Jammu & Kashmir and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA).

4. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Goat Fattening Farm is proposed to be located at any suitable areas of Pakistan. The project is related to
Goat fattening purposes, the total capacity is 50 goats. Project Cost Estimate is Rs. 0.64 Million with fixed
investment of Rs. 0.07 Million. The cost assumptions, IRR 20% and payback 5.83 years of goats.

5.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT

The following parameters must be addressed as per pre-feasibility study,
2

Selection of suitable Goat breed

In Punjab, Beetal, Teddy goat breeds are most suitable. In Sindh, Kamori, Pateri, Kacchan, Jattan

goat breeds are most suitable. In KPK, Damani goat breeds are most suitable most suitable breeds.

Location:
The farm can be established in goat rearing areas of country where range grazing is available. In
Punjab, the suitable areas to establish the goat farming are Southern Punjab (Thal, Cholistan) and
also pothowar areas. In Sind Province, goat fattening is profitable in their respective ecological
zones like Thar and Indus basin. Districts of Sukkur, Tando Muhamamd Khan, Sanghar, Dadu etc
in Sind province.

Targets Market
In addition to major cities such as Lahore, Multan, Karachi, Hyderabad and Islamabad, there is
demand of Pakistani mutton in Middle East and Malaysia countries.

Employment Generation: The proposed project will provide direct employment to two individuals.
Financial analysis shows the profitability of proposed business within first year of its operation.

6. CRITICAL FACTORS
The following are critical factors for the successful commercial goat farming.

Strict vaccination and deworming program for successful operation may be followed.

Good feeding and management practice will give the success in the business. Fresh water will be
available all the time. In the concentrate; minerals may also be included.

Establishment of the farm in areas where cheap land is available, but it should not be far away

from the market.

The farming should be done on scientific grounds taking care of Vaccination, Medicine etc.
Healthy and quality male stock should be selected for fattening.
New feeding techniques including concentrate feeding and preparation of mixed ration will give

the good results.

Well-trained / experienced staff adding to the efficiency of the farm.

7. OPERATIONAL CAPACITY
The farm will start production with 50 goats. The limit of 50 goats has been imposed on the farm because
a very large flock would be difficult to manage. The farm would focus on rearing of young stock for

fattening and marketing. Goat from aged less than 1 year of age will be purchased and resold in the market
after a fattening period of 120 days.
8. POTENTIAL MARKETS
Target market would be the areas where breeding is being undertaken as well as major cities like Karachi,
Lahore, Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Peshawar etc. In addition to local markets there is an enormous export
potential to Middle Eastern countries.
9. PRODUCTION PROCESS FLOW
Animals selected for fattening should be of less than 1 year of age. During this age the daily weight-gain
capacity is also better particularly in goat.
10. BREED SELECTION
The farmers should not only select good quality breed which can bring better results for fattening but also
select most suitable animals from the selected breed. Through better management, the weight gain of these
selected breeds would be higher.
11. PROJECT COST SUMMARY
A detailed financial model has been developed to analyze the commercial viability of Goat Fattening
Farm. Various cost and revenue related assumptions along with results of the analysis are outlined in this
section.
11.1 Project Economics
All the figures in this financial model have been calculated for 50 goat for total area of around 21,00 sq.ft,
that would be used for different functions of the farm. The following table shows internal rates of return
and payback period.
