V. The Project

1. Justification/Rationale:

There is now a growing interest in goat production because of its

economic potential and market opportunities. Goat raising offers

several advantages compared to other livestock and poultry

production endeavors. Goat can convert crop residues and agro-

industrial by-products into meat and milk even when they thrive on

harsh environment. They digest cellulosic feed materials more

efficiently (PCARRD, 2004). It is also low in fat, good tasting alternative

to chicken or fish (Raising Meat Goats for Profit, Gail Bowman).

Moreover, they can subsist on agricultural vegetation, crop residues,

grasses, legumes and by-products including rice bran, cassava chips,banana or papaya peelings, sugarcane tops, corn stover, rice hull,

brewers spent grains, pineapple pulps (Peacock, 1997).

Goat can also be integrated into rice farming and established

plantation of coconut, tamarind, mango, rubber, etc. their ability to

utilize farm by products and farm wastes and survive in marginal

environment makes them highly important, mainly grasses, weeds and

legumes, are put to good use as rations (PCARRD, 2004).

The most common practice of farmers in the municipality of Bataraza

is to maintain or raise one to three head of animals in the backyard,

hence, is commonly known as backyard production system. They

normally keep livestock as a source of supplementary farm income,

particularly, as a means of providing ready cash in time of financial

difficulty and to a lesser extent they are keep raising livesrock to meet

household food requirements.

The population of Bataraza is composed of 30% Muslims and the rest

are Christians that dominates the total populace. Goat is one of themost commonly raise animal in the municipality in small scale despite


2/7

the availability of the large area for pasture development and grazing

especially in the upland and coastal areas where goat farming can be

integrated under coconut plantation.

The population of goat in the municipality is low as compared to other

livestock. However, despite this current situation, there is always a big

demand for chevon meat especially in the Islam communities locally

and internationally. This is big opportunity for the municipality

Bataraza to become a major supplier of goats, goats meat and other

products because of its strategic location with the neighboring ASEAN

countries and the presence of the open ports in Brookes Point; and the

possible opening of another port in Bataraza very soon. Moreover, the

presence of two nickel mining companies that brings migrants into the

municipality is also a potential market for goats meat and other by-

products. These migrants have a craving for specialty food such ascaldereta, papaitan and kilawin that is being served in the

different kambingan restaurants being established in the locality.

This current situation shows that goat farming needs to be further

developed because there is great potential both in local and foreign

market. Through this project, economic stability is envisioned to be

realized in the municipality with more jobs expected to be created and

the incidence of poverty is reduced which is the main objective of

Millennium Development Goal of the present administration.

This proposed project, Establishment of the Goat Multiplier Farm in

the Municipality of Bataraza aims to support in increasing the breeder

base population of goats in the municipality and the province as well

because of the growing demand for goats as breeding stocks for

production purposes; as source of meat, milk and other products and

by-products in the local market and the great potential in the

international market primarily for health reasons and the changing

ethnic demographics in the different developed countries. This project

will also address the multifarious problems of the goat industry in themunicipality and the province in terms of high cost and insufficient

supply of breeding animals, low productivity and health management

problems.

Moreover, the project aims to assist in alleviating the poverty situation

in the municipality of Bataraza by providing farmers quality breeding

animals at affordable price that can be used in their backyard goat

raising project to augment their income. It will also serve as a source of

breeding animals for other Local Government Units that can be used in

their production centers and stations under their Goat IndustryDevelopment Program and for the private sector who are interested to

venture in commercial goat production operation.

2. Project Description:

The Establishment of Goat Multiplier Farm in the Municipality of

Bataraza is an agribusiness development project that will involve the

production for sale and loan of offspring produced from the 20 graded

does and 2 breeder bucks as initial foundation stocks. It will produce

52 weanling kids composing of 50% female and 50% male on the first


3/7

year of operation. From the total number of offsprings weaned, 50%

will be allocated for distribution to farmer recipient on loan basis while

the remaining 50% will be allocated for sale to enable the project

become self-liquidating and sustainable.

The proposed project shall have the following components;construction of perimeter fence; establishment of pasture and legumes

or pasture development; construction of goat house; procurement of

stocks (20 head graded does and two purebred bucks, Anglo Nubian

and Boer); procurement of farm tools, supplies and materials and

procurement of drugs and biologics.

The care and management of goats shall be semi-intensive where

goats are confined in the housing and fed through cut and carry

method and likewise to be partially grazed as a form of exercise. The

farm shall also adopt a herd health management program to ensurethat goats are disease-free and maintain a healthy body.

The project shall have two operational schemes, as follow:

A. Goats Loan Program This program shall involve thedistribution

of weaners to interested farmer beneficiaries who want to engage

in goat raising through production of breeding goats or goats for

slaughter purposes. Under this program, the farmer shall repay the

Local Government Unit in kind or payment of the book value

of animals (cash).

a. Each beneficiary who received two heads of goats (1 female and

1 male) shall return to the Local Government Unit, three (3)

head of goats (one male and two females) within a period of two

years; or

b. A beneficiary who received the two heads of goats (1 female and

1 male) can pay 75% of the book value of the animals within a

period of one year.

B. Goats for Sale Program

An intensive selection and culling methods shall be adopted also.

Under this management approach, goats shall be priced based on

its physical attributes and performance and prevailing market price.

8. Sustainability Plan

To make the project sustainable, the project should shall function as an

agribusiness development project, hence, income generating and self-

liquidating. Under this concept, the farm shall adopt two distribution

schemes, namely: the Goats for Loan Program or the paiwi system

approach and selling of doeling or buckling (4-5 months)

The business operation of the farm shall be governed by existing policies of

the Local Government Unit. All financial transactions shall be in consonance

with government accounting rules. Other expenses like personal services in

the provision of technical assistance to the project will be included in AIP


7/7

under the office of the municipal agriculture. The main concern is to provide

basic services to our clienteles in order to elevate their economic situation

and address poverty in rural areas.

9. Socio-Economic Aspect

The project would generate income and create employment in the operation

and provide additional income to the farmer and its family members by

integration of livestock to crops and utilization of idle lands as pasture and

grazing area for the goats. Soil fertilization is also one of the benefits from

the project, because of the animal wastes that turns into organic matter.
