1.6 Conclusion
The results of pre-feasibility study indicate that there is considerable potential for investment in
the animal fattening project. The project can benefit from high demand in both local as well as
international markets.
1.7 KPBOIT Assistance
In accordance with the objectives of the KPBOIT, it will serve as one window facilitation
center for the investors with respect to the proposed project. KPBOIT will assist the
investors, in relation to the proposed project, through:
Obtaining requisite approvals from the provincial government;
Provision of land for the project on lease basis;
Provision of pre-feasibility study for the project; and
Assistance in arranging utilities etc
2. Financial Pre-Feasibility
2.1 Project Design Assumptions
Calf fattening is an agro-based project. The calves, preferably males, 8-9 months of age are fed
on concentrated feed and fodder produced from the agricultural land. Balanced feed is given to
calves for a period of 180 days to get higher weight gain. If these calves are fed properly on the
formulated fattening feed, their weight can be raised up to 180-200 kg during the fattening
period. The daily weight gain of fattened calves varies between 600-800 grams depending on
the quality of feed given to them. There is a shortage of beef in the country. This shortage is
being observed through meat-less days. If the calf-fattening projects are carried out in the
country then the domestic demand of beef could be fulfilled.
The thrust in calf fattening farm is on the increased use of capital and management. Successful
farming harnesses all available resources into productive and profitable unit. Calf fattening is
highly complex as it includes farm management, feeding, housing, disease control and hygienic
production of milk on farm. The judicial use of means and resources to achieve clearly defined
goals is the key success factor i.e. the art of maximization and optimal utilization of resources
and means for maximizing productivity and profits. Feeding meat animals on nutritious
compound feed along with green fodder can be adopted. Other farm management practices
include comfortable and ventilated barns, drinking water and feed according to the
requirements.
Too many young male calves are slaughtered quite young due to high cost of milk required to
feed them. Those left are generally underfed and stunted thus unable to achieve the normal
growth. A suitable plan could provide animals of 150-180 kgs of weight, which could be raised to
the desired market demand.
Sheep is a small animal, having value for mutton and wool production. It has a good fertility rate
and produces a lot of offspring under good husbandry management. Sheep farming in Pakistan
is still traditional and intervention along modern lines is needed to fulfill the increasing demand
for quality wool and mutton. In KPK region, mutton is highly appreciated and liked by people and
consumers are paying high prices for it. Hazara and Malakand divisions of the Province are well
known for trans-human livestock production, specially the wool and mutton animals.
Animals selected for fattening should be from six to eight months of age. At this age the animal
is weaned and starts eating green fodder and grass. As compared to grown up sheep the daily
weight-gain capacity is also better at this age. Weight and age of all the selected animals should
also be similar otherwise the larger and older animals would not let the smaller animals to eat
feed according to their requirement. Selected animals should not be sick, weak or with physical
disabilities.
In addition to the above mentioned capital costs, additional set up costs of PKR 98.8 million will
also be required for procurement of animal stock and operational expenses of the farm in the
first year. These estimates are based on procurement of 1,000 calves at per unit price of PKR
17,500 and 2,500 sheep at a per unit rate of PKR 4,400. Total cost for procurement of stock at
the start of the farm operations is estimated at PKR 63.5 million. In addition, PKR 35.3 million
has been estimated for initial year operational requirements including feed costs, vaccination
costs, electricity costs, utilities, and salaries etc.
For the purpose of this financial pre-feasibility, the debt to equity ratio has been assumed as
60% debt and 40% equity. At these levels, the investors will be required to make equity
contribution of PKR 73.9 million.
Debt financing of up to PKR 102.2 million will be required during the construction period of one
year of the project. Financing cost has been estimated at KIBOR (currently 10.5%) + 3%.

The fattening cycles for calves and sheep are estimated at six months and twelve months
respectively. Accordingly, total annual output from the project is estimated at 17,500 units.
Selling prices of calves and sheep are estimated at PKR 45,500 and PKR 13,500 respectively.
Administration costs are estimated at PKR 1 million per annum.
Annual escalation in costs and revenues is estimated at 8%.
