Requirements of a Goat Projects A format developed for formulation of Goat rearing schemes is appended as Annexure-III. The scheme so formulated should be submitted to the nearest branch of bank. The bank's officers can assist in preparation of the scheme or filling in the prescribed application form. The bank will then examine the scheme for its technical feasibility and economic viability. |
Technical Feasibility - This would briefly include
- Nearness of the selected area to veterinary dispensary, goat breeding centre, marketing outlets for fattened kids/meat and the financing bank's branch.
- Availability of good quality animals in nearby livestock markets. The distributions of goat breeds in India are given in Annexure-IV and Production parameters of breeds are given in Annexure V and VI.
- Availability of training facilities.
- Availability of good grazing ground/lands.
- Availability of Green/dry fodder, concentrate feed, medicines etc.
- Availability of veterinary aid/breeding centers and marketing facilities near the same area.
Economic Viability - This would briefly include:
- Unit cost of animals.
- Input cost for feeds and fodders, veterinary aid, insurance charges, etc.
- Output costs i.e. sale price of live animals, manure/penning charges, etc.
- The average unit cost (indicative only) of goat rearing units is assumed for calculating project cost.
- Income-expenditure statement and annual gross surplus.
- Cash flow analysis.
- Repayment schedule (i.e. repayment of principal loan amount and interest). Other documents such as loan application forms, security aspects, margin money requirements etc. are also examined. A field visit to the scheme area is undertaken for conducting a techno-economic feasibility study for appraisal of the same. The model economics of goat rearing unit of 50+2 under semi intensive system is given in Annexure VII a to VII f.
