Introduction to SMEDA
The Small and Medium Enterprise Development Authority (SMEDA) was established with the
objective to provide fresh impetus to the economy through the launch of an aggressive SME
support program.1
Since its inception in October 1998, SMEDA had adopted a sectoral SME development
approach. A few priority sectors were selected on the criterion of SME presence. In depth
research was conducted and comprehensive development plans were formulated after
identification of impediments and retardants. The all-encompassing sectoral development
strategy involved recommending changes in the regulatory environment by taking into
consideration other important aspects including financial aspects, niche marketing, technology
upgradation and human resource development.
SMEDA has so far successfully formulated strategies for sectors including, fruits and vegetables,
marble and granite, gems and jewelry, marine fisheries, leather and footwear, textiles, surgical
instruments, urban transport and dairy. Whereas the task of SME development at a broader scale
still requires more coverage and enhanced reach in terms of SMEDA’s areas of operation.
Along with the sectoral focus a broad spectrum of business development services is also offered
to the SMEs by SMEDA. These services include identification of viable business opportunities
for potential SME investors. In order to facilitate these investors, SMEDA provides business
guidance through its help desk services as well as development of project specific documents.
These documents consist of information required to make well-researched investment decisions.
Pre-feasibility studies and business plan development are some of the services provided to
enhance the capacity of individual SMEs to exploit viable business opportunities in a better way.
This document is in the continuation of this effort to enable potential investors to make well-
informed investment decisions.

The objective of the pre-feasibility study is primarily to facilitate potential entrepreneurs in
project 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, and production, finance and business
management.

The farm will serve as breeding and rearing farm for goats. The project can be established in
promising areas for goat breeding where abundance of fresh water is available. The proposed
farm will ensure the breeding of disease free animal as it will overcome the disadvantage of
bringing the diseases from the animal markets (Mandi).
The project will attain a completely new breed through the cross of the female local goats with
the crossed male goats, like Kamori etc. By this, after two breeding cycles the project will
develop its own breed that is most suitable to the local environment.
The total project investment is Rs. 4.78 million with a Project Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of
28 %. The total project investment would be paid back in approximately 4.15 years.

The widening demand and supply gap makes the goat farming to be a profitable venture. The
livestock owners having some fixed land base should be encouraged to undertake intensive
farming which in the beginning would be little expensive but with the current lucrative price
structure of meat throughout the country coupled with its developing exports potentials, would
prove profitable enterprise. With the switching over to fully-intensive farming which would
warrant availability of quality breed, stall/ supplementary feeding, non-conventional and
economical feeding techniques and improved genetic material, the livestock farming can become
a cost effective enterprise with its down stream positive effects in the farming community. The
country can thus also be benefited with increased productivity of animal protein.
The selection and development of proper breed is most suitable as per the environment of the
area whereas the nutrition is the most important factor to be considered. Though the people are
aware of the best breeds but still the conventional farm practices put constraints to the same.
Instead of looking for a best cross breed via continuous cycles, they do not give much attention
to utilizing only those animals for breeding that can provide the best results. Also nutrition is a
serous limiting factor in the livestock industry of Balochistan with the result that many animals
arrive at the market in less than optimal body condition with body weight on the lower end.
There is a dire need to ensure feed availability round the year with proper protein contents for

3
increasing livestock productivity rather then its numbers. Such a situation directs to adopt non–
conventional feed preparation and feeding techniques like treatment of wheat/ rice straws and
other crop residues with urea or ammonia, molasses bocks, silage making ,concentrate mixtures
with low cost formulae, feed lots, semi – intensive farming and ewe flushing etc. such techniques
have already been tested and demonstrated to the farmers under different projects.
Based on the above facts, this pre-feasibility for goat farm consisting of 377 goats using stall
feeding with intensive animal health coverage has been prepared for interested entrepreneurs as a
guidance tool.

Demand and supply fluctuates during the year depending upon Eid-ul Azha and winter season. If
the farmer is targeting Eid for sale of its young stock, It is suggested that female stock ready for
breeding is purchased at least 12 to 14 Months before the next Eid. Normally best time for the
impregnation of a goat is during the months of March, April, May and October. As it takes
around 5 Months for giving birth, therefore kids born have sufficient feed, and prove to be a
healthy stock.
Peak Season: supply and demand for goats and sheep are at peak before Eid-ul Azha, due to
mass slaughter for Qurbani. A large Number of middlemen come to markets from Punjab,
Quetta, Sindh and other areas to buy stocks and transport them to their areas.
Another season with higher supply and demand is the months of November and December. In
these months lambs and kids become adult, gain weight and no more depend on their mothers,
and producers bring them to market for sale. Thirdly, Nomad and other livestock breeders want
to sell their surplus stock because it is very difficult to breed them in winter.
Off-peak Season: June and July is off-peak season for livestock supply and demand because
February, March and April are reproductive season for goats and sheep and newly born lambs
and kids depend on mother. Moreover, consumption of meat decreases during summer. In this
season, goats and sheep are also used for milking purpose.

The farm would focus on the breeding and rearing of young male stock for marketing to the goat
fattening farms. The kids after attaining the age of 7 Months, will be sold to the farm owners and
domestic buyers interested in the fattening of goats. Additionally the raw materials produced
would be extra green fodder which would be sold in local markets to other livestock farmers.
Once the farm has been established surplus female stock of breeding age i.e after ten months
could also be sold in market since it brings a better price as compared to young females of non
breeding age.

The farm will start production with 110 adult females for production which will increase to 146
adult females. The over all farm size at this capacity would be around 377 animals including
Young Male and Female Progeny and Female stock of breeding age. The number of adult
breeding females has been kept limited because very large herd would be difficult to manage.

The income of people, meat prices, health consciousness, culture, and religious beliefs are the
factors that may shape the demand of meat within a specific country. Through out the world
ethnic groups mainly contribute to the demand of meat. For example a country with higher
number of immigrants will exhibit a society of mixed and diversified ethnic groups. Many of
these groups have some festivals during which the demand of meat is enormously affected. The
world average per capita consumption of meat is around 2.5 pounds. The following describes
information used by New Zealand in describing the types of products that they attempt to deliver
to international markets (M. Miller 1999, Pinkerton 1995):
Taiwan. Taiwanese consumers prefer skin-on carcasses with dress weights between 22 to 35
pounds. Goat meat in this market must be extremely lean with strong flavor. Demand in Taiwan
peaks between June and the Chinese new year when most religious celebrations are held (the
Chinese new year changes from year to year).
Malaysia. Consumers in Malaysia desire both skin-on and skin-off carcasses. Skin-on carcasses
must weigh between 30 and 35 pounds. Skin-off carcasses should weigh between 30 and 44
pounds. Malaysian consumers also require a lean meat. Skin-off product is used in wet dishes,
curries, and stews. Skin-on product is used in traditional Chinese recipes. Malaysian consumers
prefer intact male carcasses and prefer to slaughter their own animals.
Italy and Greece. The Italian and Greek markets prefer younger goats with carcass weights
between 15 and 20 pounds (kids between 8 and 16 weeks old). Depending on the time of season,
consumers may be more flexible in their weight preferences. Consumers from these areas buying
for Easter and Christmas prefer even lighter kids (In terms of liveweight the animal should weigh
between 18 to 28 pounds (carcass weight 9 to 14 pounds). Kids fitting this weight range will
normally be somewhere between 4 and 12 weeks of age).
Singapore. Consumers in Singapore prefer skin-off carcasses with heavier dressing weights (up
to 55 pounds). A lean product is preferred for use in wet dishes and curries.

6
Caribbean (West Africa). The Caribbean market is a sensitive market requiring skin-off, frozen
carcass between 24 and 40 pounds. Other products used include 4 to 6 pound packages of cubed,
bone-in pieces from older less conditioned goats. Given acceptable prices, there also seems to be
some demand for 6 way cuts (carcass divided into two legs, two loins, and two forequarters).
Specific information about position of cuts can be found in Miller’s “The NSW Goat Meat
Industry” (1999). Jamaicans are a main buyer of mature bucks.
Korea. Goat meat consumption in Korea is based on religious and medicinal beliefs concerning
the meat. Korean customers require a skin-on carcass, but specific characteristics (weight,
leanness, etc.) vary depending on the final purpose.
Latino. Latino consumers use larger goats with less condition throughout the year. Consumption
is extremely sensitive to price for these animals. In addition, Latino consumers demand Cabrito
(milk fed kids between the age of 4 and 10 weeks weighing between 15 and 25 pounds). Cabrito
is used for special occasions and as such is less sensitive to pricing.

Asia and Pacific have a goat population of about 271 million, representing 58% of the total
world population. These contribute 62% meat, 49% milk and 62% skin. There are 22 goat
indigenous breeds are found in various parts of the world. Animal products contribute over 56
million tons of edible protein and over 1 billion mega calories of energy annually. This protein is
equivalent to more than 50% of protein produced from all cereals. The heaviest concentrations
are found in China, India, Pakistan, Indonesia and Bangladesh, which is together 78% of the total
population in Asia.

Livestock is one of the Major Strength of Pakistan. It is an integral part of the rural economy and
contributed 51.8 percent of the Agricultural Value added, amounting to 11.3 percent in the
national GDP during the year 2008-2009. Gross Value addition of Livestock at current cost
factor has increased from Rs. 1,052 billion (2007-08) to Rs. 1,287 billion (2008-090, showing an
increase of 22.3%. the value of livestock is 6.1% more than the combined value of major and
minor crops. As per the statistics released by the Federal Bureau of Statistics, the exports of

8
meat and meat preparations increased to 2,824 Metric Ton with a value of $ 6.9 million in 2009,
as compared to 1,855 Metric Ton with a value of $ 4.5 million.
While involving a number of government and trade organizations, private enterprises, producers
and consumers as stakeholders, the sector provides precious components of foreign exchange
earnings through export of wool, carpets and leather products.
There are a number of systems for (sheep) and goat raising in Pakistan. These include nomadic,
transhumant and sedentary flocks and househeld goats. Nomadic flocks are constantly moving in
search of grazing, whereas transhumant flocks have a fixed base to which they return during
specific season of the year Grazing available to both types is usually set by tribal/local customs.
There are well-established migration routes usually based on water availability and grazing land.
Most kids are born during early spring when flocks are in the milder climates. All female progeny
are kept for flock replacement or build-up, but nearly all males are sold before one year of age.
Most of the feed for nomadic flocks is derived from rangelands, which is generally free.
Transhumant flocks have access to grazing of crop stubbles in their permanent bases, thus making
feed supply more reliable. Goats are generally milked for subsistence needs as goat milk is rarely
sold in the markets. Sedentary flocks derive most of their feed from grazing wasteland, crop
stubbles and nearby rangelands and return to the village/base each night Performance may be
similar to transhumant flocks. Female offsprings are kept as replacements and all males are sold
before the age of one year after weaning. Small units, of 4-5 animals, are kept by many rural
householders. They are kept in confinement near the house and fed on scraps and weeds although
some offspring are sold, most is kept for family consumption, especially for ceremonial sacrifice.
The population of goats in 2005-06 was 55.2 Million which increased to 58.3 Million in 2008-
09.

Balochistan area wise is the largest province of Pakistan with a total land mass of 348,189 sq.km.
it has a variety of geographic features including mountains, deserts, rangelands, forests and
coastal line. Due to the low rainfall extensive crop culture operations are not possible in all the

13
areas. It is estimated that about 15 per cent of the rangeland are located in areas having more
than 250 mm annual rainfall, which can support perennial grasses and shrubs. Hence, barring
some portions of Loralai and Zhob districts, rest of the land surface does not even support
rearing of livestock throughout the year thus necessitating seasonal migration of nomadic and
transhumant grazers to find feed for their livestock, which include mostly sheep, goats and lesser
number of cattle and camels. In spite of difficult conditions for livestock industry, it occupies a
pivotal place in the economy of Balochistan due to being the mainstay of more than 75% of the
people inhabiting the countryside in the relative absence of other means of subsistence. Due to
recent drought particularly in Balochistan province which continued for almost 7 to 8 years the
livestock population dropped considerably. It also reduced the resistance of the remaining
livestock against diseases and other parasites.

Being a range based livestock production system, it is mostly nomadic and pastoralists migrate
according to season, availability of feed for their flocks, opportunities for selling their own labor,
to and fro movement from summer and winter quarters adopting fixed migratory routes. Twice a
year, in spring and autumn, groups of nomads and transhumant livestock owners follow precise
itineraries to and from highlands of Balochistan. Two such itineraries can be distinguished as
under:-
i) The north-south migratory routes, usually followed by Pushtun nomads and transhumants.
ii) The east-west migratory routes, followed by Brahvi transhumants.

Effect of Drought:
Drought was long recorded in Balochistan, but due to slow change and non-availability of
technical facilities drought was not noticed until its full effects were seen on the ground
especially on livestock. Drought has created a very big space in the population of livestock and
adversely affected the industry. Major share of local livestock is done by farmers in these areas.
This situation created great economic losses to the industry. The remaining Livestock has
declining growth, which is venerable to diseases. This situation decreases interest of the breeders
and industry is deteriorating slowly.
Issues related to production:
The most important issue in production is long-lasting drought that caused feed scarcity, scarcity
of feed, effected fertility, weight gain of animals, caused diseases and production losses. It also
increased cost of production and decreased breeders’ interest. Most of the local producers are
farmers residing in rural areas and drought badly affected their livestock.

16
Issues related to Diseases:
Like other animals goats also contract diseases and are affected by various viral infections, from
which they should be protected, otherwise it would lead to the loss of the production of meat and
milk. Therefore it is necessary to give them vaccines at specified times and also provide them
with other protective facilities. There are communicable and non-communicable diseases in
goats.
1. Communicable Diseases
Gul Ghoto (H.S.), Phurki, Sozish Huwana (Mastitis), Entrotoxaemia, Foot Rot, Blue
Tong, Thuri (Contagious Ecthyma), Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia
2. Non Communicable Diseases
Khansi (Bronchitis), Pneumonia, Impaction of Rumen, Colic, Khuni Ishaal (Dysentry),
Thun Sozish (Sore Teat), Rahm Sozish (Matranitis)
Issues related to Selling:
Monopoly of the middlemen is the most important issue in the markets; normally end users
consumers buy one or two heads and cannot buy whole flock, so sellers are bound to sell their
flocks to middlemen. Middlemen buy stocks on very low prices keep them for very few days and
sell on higher prices. Most of the sellers are nomads they are bound to sell their stocks to
middlemen before going to other area. This results in the low farm prices on the basis of half of
the live weight (Currently around Rs.150/Kg).
Another reason for the monopoly of middlemen is Local producer cannot stay in the market for a
long period; he is bound to sell his stock to middlemen. Yet another issue in selling is the
weakness of animals due to diseases and drought. Weak animals cannot be sold easily and on
good price.
Buying and selling activities are very low in the months of June and July which makes it difficult
for the small producers to sell their flocks.
Transportation of stock to other areas positively effects the sale and sale price. If local market is
not good, people take their flock to other markets nearby or to Punjab or Quetta. Now they are
becoming less and less dependent on middlemen. Transportation modes made the breeder
concern about their stocks, due to which they normally bring their sick stocks to hospital.
Issues affecting Sale Price:
Sale price is mostly affected by demand and supply; during peak season, i.e. Eid-ul- Azha prices
are very high due to higher demands. Other factors that affect prices are
 Cost of rearing
 Rainfall
 Cultivation
 Number of buyers from Punjab, Sindh and other areas
 Season
 Health of the stock

17
Issues affecting Meat and milk production:
Meat and milk production depends upon breeds. This is also affected by supply of feed, rainfall,
nutrition, cultivation and health of the animal.
Facilities in livestock markets:
There is none of the facility of water shelter, feed stores in any of the market of Loralai, Duki,
Nana sahib, Rakni, Muslim Bagh, Killa Saifullah and other markets in Balochistan. Only the
adjoining markets of Yusuf Goth and Sohrab Goth at Karachi are with relatively better sheds.
Some private shelters charge the seller Rs. 10 to 15 per head per day for keeping their animals.
However, feed houses are available there that sell feed of animal to seller or buyers. Veterinary
medical facilities are strongly needed, as sick animals come to these markets with out any check
up, causes diseases to other healthy animals.

Historically animals have not been marketed on a regular basis for income as a commercial
endeavor but sold in times of need. Old females were sold in the spring to pay for supplies, and
adult males in the fall for the production of LANDHI, dried mutton, a winter staple food. When
purchases of clothing, tea, sugar, grain, animal feed, seed, fertilizer or other market items are
required, animals are sold to generate sufficient funds. However, around population centers i.e.
big towns and cities, producers have started to consider animal commercial ventures and targets
specific markets.
Annual Horse and Cattle Show held at Sibi also provides farmers an opportunity to market their
livestock within province as well as to other provinces; to Sindh and Punjab. Although livestock
marketing is not well established in Balochistan, however there are livestock markets usually
called "Pirri" scattered through out the province; but having very limited basic facilities both for
farmers and animals. Marketing; and distribution involves many stakeholders; producers (Agro
pastoralists), dealers (usually from villages or adjoining areas), wholesalers, butchers, and
consumers. It is difficult to be precise about their exact numbers and their role in the marketing
process. The marketing takes place on individual animal as well as on lot basis. The different
agents involved are described below:-
Producers
Livestock producers are widely dispersed and only very rarely coordinate with each other. They
sell their livestock principally at the village level. Since they sell small ruminants to meet urgent
cash demand, the producers are not in a position to bargain very effectively. In a few cases,
producers attempt to time the sale of animals to take advantage of seasonal fluctuation, but, in
general, the expected price is not a determinant of the decision to sell.
Village Dealers
Village dealers purchase animals from surrounding areas and sell them to wholesalers in town
markets. They pay the animal transportation costs, feeding costs and their own transportation and
food costs.
Wholesalers and Commission Agents
Wholesalers buy from village dealers in small towns and transport the livestock to Quetta and the
major consumption centers in other provinces such as Karachi and Lahore. Wholesalers also sell
livestock through commission agents in the consumption centers. These agents are considered as
an essential link with the buyers, and undertake the bargaining and arrangements of livestock
sales.
Butchers
Mutton, goat meat and beef are sold fresh and now even after refrigeration particularly in Quetta
and other warmer areas, in small shops after 8-10 hours of slaughtering in traditional type

21
slaughter houses which lack proper hygienic facilities. Little, if any, meat is carried over to the
following day. Most of the gross income returns to butchers come from meat sales, but a
substantial portion is received from by-products such a skin, head, trotters, stomach, lung and
liver.
Consumers
Non-graded meat is sold by the butchers in their shops where poor hygienic conditions do exist.
The Government regulates consumer prices of essential commodities, one of which is meat, but
does not guarantee minimum meat quality standards.

Sheep and goats belonging to nomadic and transhumant graziers of Balochi and Brahvi tribes are
marketed, besides Quetta, in Sibi and Jacobabad. They come down from their summer pastures
in the highlands of Quetta, Mastung, Nushki, Kalat and Khuzdar districts to spend the winter in
the lower plains of Kachhi and Nasirabad. Graziers of the Bugti and Marri tribes also market
their surplus animals next to the local markets in Jacobabad and Sibi, alongside flock owners
from the Bolan, Sibi, Jaffarabad and Nasirabad districts.
Sheep and goats belonging to the sedentary and transhumant graziers of the Khetran tribes of
Barkhan, the Marri tribes of Kohlu agency and the Duki tehsil, the Pathan tribes of Musakhel
district, and the Bugti tribes of Dera Bugti agency (Baker and Phailawag) are marketed in Rakhni
(Barkhan district) a border check-post located on road to Punjab for further transport and
consumption in various towns of Punjab.

Earlier the flocks used to move on hoof to and fro from the markets. Due to expansion of cities
and increase of vehicular traffic all around it is no longer possible to bring the animals to markets
on hoofs. Animals are usually transported on small trucks carrying about 70 sheep and goats or 8
to 10 beef animals.

This project will mainly focus on goat breeding and on the farm selling on live weight basis. But
in future it may expand its operation to the goat fattening, and direct market. For the proposed
project it is recommended that the entrepreneur should grow fodder at his own farm. Thus the
project is divided into two main activities as under:

5 Acre of land grows sufficient green fodder for 100 Goats. So, the minimum feasible land
required for this project is, 25 Acre. As this project will include the kids which have lesser feed
requirement during initial few months, so some extra fodder will also be available for selling.

Though the total required area for the proposed project is 25,948 Sq. Ft. (Around Half Acre), but
the entrepreneur will have to consider 1 Acre. This is because of the fact that agricultural land is
sold with standard units of Acres.

Goat farming is not a labour intensive project. Traditionally family is involved in grazing and
feeding of Goat. For this particular project Two attendants (Shepard) are required in the first
year, which will increase to four attendants in the second year. For a fodder farm spread over 25
Acre, four person can easily manage and handle the fodder growing ,irrigation, and sowing.

Before the procurement of animals, it should be ensured that the green fodder is ready, and
concentrate is available at farm. The following facts should be considered.
Selection of female/She-goats for reproduction:
This is suggested to buy the local female goat, e.g., kachani, khurasani, lehri or jabli goats from
the local market. The reason is that, the local breed has the best characteristics to survive in the

26
local environment where the project is intended to be established. Goats should be young
(approximately 8 months old), and should be of similar breed. Their physical condition should be
good, their eyes, jaws, teeth and udder should be in healthy condition.
Selection of male/He- goats:
He-goat is the backbone of the herd and the development of coming generation is dependent
upon it. It should be healthy and energetic. He-goat should be purchased from the government
owned livestock farms. Extra he-goats should be kept in herd so that if one suffers from any kind
of disease or accident it should be replaced by another quickly. Normally 1 he goat is enough for
cohabitation with 40 she-goats. The mating with good quality male goat will result in the best
possible cross breed.
Quarantine system:
A system for isolating the newly purchased goats, and treating them to eliminate internal
parasites before introduction to the farm should be adopted. There is significant risk of
introducing anthelmentic resistant stains of parasites whenever stock are moved between farms
so this practice should be applied to all species of livestock farmed. So a separate quarantine
place should be available with in the farm.
Mating :
The best months for the cohabitation of goats are March, April, May, and October. Pregnancy
period is 5 Months or 150 days. Before mating it should be kept in mind that these goats should
not give birth at the time of extreme cold. Specially in Pakistan, the best months for mating are
September and October are supposed to be the best mating seasons for goats, because heating
periods of goats are longer in these months. If mating would be done in these months then the
birth of the kids will take place in spring and in these months there will be an ample amount of
hay available and they are saved from the cold weather of January and December.
Complete cross breed :
The breed after two cycles will be considered to be the completely crossed breed. After the
completely crossed breed is available, the local female parent breed will be sold out.
Separation of Kids from goats :
Kids should be separated from goats after a period of 120 days.
