Goat Comprehensive Project Proposal
Goat Comprehensive Project Proposal
I. IDENTIFYING INFORMATION
1. BACKGROUND/RATIONALE:
Goat production is one of the ideal farm enterprises if properly managed in the
farm. This project is easy to handle and can utilize family labor and which also
requires lesser capital to start in backyard raising. Goat raising is undertaken mostly
by small farmers mostly backyard raisers. An average of one or two heads is raised by
every farmer. Only a handful of commercial-scale goat farms can be found in the
locality. The optimum potential of the goat as one of the main sources of milk and
meat has not been fully tapped in the Philippines. Considering the farmers’ resources
and preferences for technology, goat could supplement the income of small farmers
and brings the undernourished children a cheaper source of meat and milk to improve
their diet. The goat is popular known as the poor man’s cow because children and old
folks who cannot afford cow’s milk prefer drinking goat’s milk. Aside from being
cheap, goat’s milk is more digestible compared to cow’s milk.
In a study conducted by a government agency, it was found out that goats are
multi-purpose ruminants producing 58.4% milk, 35.6% meat, 4.3% hide and 1.7%
fiber. According to them, these small ruminants can provide the answer to improve
nutritional requirements of the predominantly rural farm families scattered all over the
country.
On the other hand, the need to integrate the farmer’s farm to enhance productivity
is the best way to solve the poverty problem. The introduction of this enterprise could
greatly help solve the financial constraints of the farmers. Today local market can be
easily developed due to the scarcity of this commodity. With the ever increase of meat
products, goats’ meat could be readily sold in the market because of its low fat and
cholesterol content.
2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Each beneficiary will be given one (1) packet of this animal, one (1) buck and five
(5) does, as their initial capital. This project will be confined in one area with housing at
the center as shade-house of the goats and surrounded with fences. The beneficiary will
provide his own area of at least 2,000 sq. meters. Expenses for the housing and cost for
one (1) packet will be shouldered by the funding institution and the counterpart of the
beneficiary is the expenses for the fences and the planting materials for improved grasses,
because he will be required to plant improved grasses for pasture and forage, aside from
supplemental feeding for the goats, inside his confined area. This project is under the
supervision and assistance of the Alternative Concern and Support to Livelihood Multi-
Purpose Cooperative (ACSLMPC) and the Municipal Agriculture’s Office.

the 50 beneficiaries, the PCA and LGU will facilitate the procurement of 50 heads
breeding bucks, preferably an Anglo-Nubians bred or a Boer and 250 heads
breeding does that are larger-size native or grade does.
b. Each beneficiary will provide a 2000 sq. meter as their production area
to be surrounded with fences. They will be required to plant improved grasses for
pasture and forage inside the production area. The production area will be divided
into four compartments wherein at the center is the shade-house for the goats’
shelter.
c. The cost for one (1) packet and for the housing will be funded by the
FUNDING INSTITUTION while the farmer’s equity are the production area,
procurement and planting of planting materials for improved grasses, supplemental
feeding, veterinary drugs and the expenses for fencing. Out of the total budgetary

responsibility of the beneficiary.
e. On the marketing aspect, since this animal can be sold in the local
market or even outside the province, live or in meat forms. Its market can be easily
developed due to scarcity of this commodity. With the ever increase of meat
products, goat’s meat could be readily sold in the market because of its low fat and
cholesterol content.
