PROJECT PROFILE

The project is related to setting up a Fully Intensive Goat Breeding Farm in promising areas of Balochistan. The document highlights all the marketing, management, and financial aspects required for the establishment and successful running of the project.

Project Brief
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.

Suitable Location
The suitable areas to establish sheep farm are northern, Southern and central Balochistan.
