INTRODUCTION

The domestic goat (Capra hircus) is a subspecies of goat domesticated from the wild of
southwest Asia and Easter Europe and originates from three wild types of goats: Capra aegagrus, Capra
falconeri and Capra prisca Adametz .

Goats are one of the oldest domesticated species. Goats have been used for their milk, meat,
hair, and skins over much of the world.

The potential of goat farming has never been viable. In this regard, goat farming is a profitable
business and can ensure and generate a significant working posts and income for poor rural population.
It is a thriving business in the Philippines despite the arising problems that are urgently needed to be
addressed.

The proposed feasibility is for establishment of Milk-Kita Dairy Goat Farm with increase per goat
milk production through state of the art farm management facilities, efficient and effective utilization of
dairy production and deployment of technologically advance infrastructure. The project requires a
unique mix of technology and herd composition that will make it possible for investor to achieve
economies of scales and attain high rate of return on investment.

Significance of the study

 To have in-depth understanding about goat farming management

 To raise awareness regarding dairy farms
 Help the locals to earn money

Objectives of the Study

This aims at both financial and socio economic viability with in-depth financial analysis and
sustainable socio economic benefits to establish small scale Dairy Goat. The objective of this feasibility is
to provide a real time analysis of the market opportunity with factual data that will lead towards overall
improvement in dairy sector of economy.

Farm Scheme

With goats per building, the farm will be producing dairy products continuously. Milk-Kita Dairy
Farm uses conventional type of building but it has a future plan of expanding the farm.

A. Marketing Aspect

Apart from establishing proper distribution and marketing channels, attention will be given to
availability of specialty types, branding, attractiveness of packaging, and relative price of products.

B. Technical Aspect

The proposed project is located at an accessible area. The place is spacious and surrounded by
trees which are appropriate to relieve the goats from stress and diseases. The business will be engaged
in processing milk products. Kids will also be sold for extra income.

C. Organizational Aspect

The project is owned by a corporation. The owners will be the managers and bookkeepers.
There will be 6 owners, 1 manager, 1 supervisor, 8 field workers, 2 staff drivers and 2 security guards
that will help in the operation of the business.

D. Financial Aspect

The source of financing will be contributed by the six owners of the farm. The financial aspect of
the business requires high cost to put up the project but a gain can also be expected.

E. Socio-economic Aspect

The project aims to be beneficial to the residents of Tarlac because it will hire staffs who are
residents of the local area. Through taxes and permits needed in the operation of the business, the
government will also generate additional income.

A. MARKETING ASPECT

A.1. Product Offerings

Milk-Kita Dairy Farm is a licensed dairy goat farming business that is committed to dairy
processing and packaging. We will also ensure that we operate a standard milk processing plant as part
of our complimentary business offering. We offer processed and packaged milk. Our business is also
engaged in selling buck kids and culled does. Another source of income is from manure.

Nature of the Product

Goat’s Milk

 is naturally homogenized unlike cow’s milk, due to its smooth texture, which makes it easy to
absorb in the body and digest.
 contains less lactose than cow milk.
 contains more vitamins A and B than cow milk although both types of milk have the same levels
of vitamins C, D, Iron, Protein and Fat.
 is a very good source of calcium and other minerals and trace minerals
 is known for its medicinal properties

Appearance and Flavor

In terms of its color, texture and taste, goat milk is similar to cow milk. However, goat milk can taste
somewhat saltier and sweeter than cow milk. In addition, other factors may impact the flavor of goat
milk, such as certain feed eaten by dairy goats. Goat milk products, such as goat milk cheese and yogurt,
may have stronger flavor than equivalent cow milk products.

Therapeutic properties of goat milk

Goat milk is healthy food with high advantage of being easily digested because of softer curds
and smaller and thus more absorbable, fat particles. For these reasons, goat milk is extremely favorable
for sensitive and slow digestive systems. It has great medicinal and therapeutic characteristics and has
been known to aid/cure skin problems, assist respiratory and digestive processes in infants and promote
all around good nutrition in humans. It is recommended to be used in cases of pulmonary diseases,

6|Page
various allergies, improving immunity, renewal of bone structure and enhancing activity of the digestive
tract.

A.2 Target Market

Milk will be sold on farm gate to following target clients:

 Local people
 Grocery Stores
 Restaurants
 Cheese Plants

A.3 Pricing Strategy

We are ensuring that we choose a good location for our commercial dairy farm, choose a good
breed that will guarantee good milk production, cut the cost of running our farm to the barest minimum
and of course try as much as possible to attract buyers to our dairy farm as against taking your livestock
or even your produce to the market to source for buyers; with this, we would have successfully
eliminate the cost of transporting the goods to the market and other logistics.

We are quite aware that one of the easiest means of penetrating the market and acquiring loads
of customers for processed goat milk is to sell them at competitive prices hence we will do all we can to
ensure that the prices of our processed milk are going to be what other commercial goat dairy farmers
would look towards beating.

Product Price
Processed and Packaged Milk (250 ml) Php 40
Processed and Packaged Milk (750 ml) Php 105
Processed Milk (1L) Php 125
Buck Kid Php 5,000
Doe Kid Php 6,000
Culled Does Php 6,000
Culled Buck Php 5,000
Manure Php 20/Sack
Table 1. Products and their Corresponding Prices

A.4 Distribution Strategy

We are quite aware that the reason why some commercial dairy farms hardly make good profits
is their inability to sell off their goods to a larger market. In view of that, we decided to set up a standard
milk producing plant to help us maximize profits.

Over and above, we have perfected our sale and marketing strategies first by networking with
agriculture merchants and companies that rely on raw materials from the livestock farming industry
who are likely to refer become our customers.

In summary, Milk-Kita Dairy Farm will adopt the following strategies in marketing our commercial
dairy farm products;

 Deliver on Cheese Plants every 3 months

 Deliver on Grocery Stores and Restaurants twice a month
 Engage in direct marketing

A.5 Promotional Strategy

We know that it is important to create strategies that will help us boost our brand awareness and to
create a corporate identity for our commercial dairy farming business. Below are the platforms we want
to leverage on to boost our commercial dairy farm brand and to promote and advertise our business;

 Leverage on the internet and social media platforms like; Instagram, Facebook , twitter,
YouTube, Google + et al to promote our business
 Install our tarpaulins on strategic locations
 Distribute our fliers in target areas
 Contact corporate organizations and residence in our target areas by calling them up and
informing them about Milk-Kita Dairy Farm and the milk we sell
 Advertise our commercial livestock farms in our official website and employ strategies that will
help us pull traffic to the site.

B. TECHNICAL ASPECT

B.1 Name of the Product

Milk-Kita Dairy Farm produces processed goat milk.

B.2 Biosecurity

Preventing the introduction and spread of infectious diseases

1. Keeping a closed herd

Keeping a closed herd is one way to protect goats from infectious disease.

2. Purchasing new goats

Three factors are important in reducing the risk of infectious diseases when purchasing new
goats - the protection we will give to the herd by proper provision of dewormer, the source of
purchased goats including how they are transported to the farm and the method we will use to actually
introduce the new goat to the rest of the herd.

3. Resident goats

We will assure that resident goats are dewormed.

4. The source of purchased goats

We will:

 Bring in only animals from herds where we know the health status.
 Avoid purchasing animals from unknown sources or that have been mixed with other goats
 Transport animals in a vehicle that has been cleaned and disinfected before pick up.

5. Introducing new arrivals

Milk-Kita Dairy Farm will:

• Quarantine new animals for 30 days before allowing contact with animals on-farm.
• Designate our quarantine area. Quarantined goats should not share feeders, waterers or equipment
with resident goats.

9|Page
• Use a medicated foot bath before allowing purchased goats to enter the herd.
• Prevent the spread of contagious mastitis by milking the new animals last. Sanitize the milking
equipment after milking new goats.

6. Controlling farm traffic Infectious diseases can be carried by people and equipment too.

Our operation will:

• Limit people's access to the barn. This may mean locking the door to the barn.
• Post a warning sign asking visitors to keep out. It helps to provide information on who to contact or
a telephone number to call instead of entering the barn.
• Make sure visitors use a foot bath and clean their boots with a brush and disinfectant before
entering your barn.
• Have dead animals picked up without allowing the livestock renderer to enter your barn or come in
contact with your animals.
• Keep a record of visitors.

B.3 Milking Procedure

Lactation starts right after delivery. Length of lactation is a breed’s property but usually lasts
from 240 days to 300 days

Lactating does are milked twice daily. The does stand on elevated platforms so the workers do
not have to stoop. In this study the milking parlor has 5 vacuum pumps.

Milk Collection process begins with lining up the goats and giving them feeds so the
concentration will be on eating. Before milking the does, the teats will be dipped in an Iodine solution
for at least 30 seconds. A laborer will hand-milk the goat about two squirts from each teat. This is being
done to check for abnormalities and eliminate any milk close to the surface of the teat that is more likely
to be contaminated with dirt. Dry each teat thoroughly with an individual cloth, removing all the teat dip
to prevent any residue and avoid transfer of bacteria.

The teat cups of the machine will be placed on the goat’s udder and the machine will be turned
on. Before removing the unit, the vacuum should be off. Dip teats immediately after unit removal with a
product that has been shown to be effective at preventing new cases of mastitis.

B.4 Sanitation and Disinfection

10 | P a g e
B.4.1 Milking parlor hygiene

The milking parlor is a high density place so should be disinfected twice daily. Surfaces will be
cleaned regularly to avoid multiplication of pathogens in this frequented area. As the milking machine is
cleaned every day, it will be the same for the milking parlor itself. After each milking, milking parlor will
be rinsed with water. It will be cleaned using detergent and will be disinfected once a week.

B.4.2 Milking machine hygiene

The milking machine will be cleaned after each milking.

B.4.3 Animal hygiene

Using an adapted disinfectant is essential for the control of the diseases and consequently for
farm profitability.

B.4.4 Teat hygiene

During milking goats 'share' the milking machine and it is a source of contamination from one
doe to another doe or one quarter to another quarter. Pre-milking preparation can be realised in a
different manner: reusable cloths, soaked in a bucket of detergent solution is the traditional method.
The teats will also be dipped on Iodine.

B.4.5 Feed and feeding equipment control

We will consider contaminated feeds (forages, pasture, grains and concentrates, water and waste
milk), feeding equipment and systems when developing an on-farm biosecurity plan. The section on
managing vehicles and farm traffic provides some basic information. The biosecurity of feeding should
include plans to:

• purchase from suppliers with quality assurance and monitoring programs

• protect feeds from contamination through proper storage of chemicals, pesticides and medications
• protect feed from manure contamination
• establish storage facilities for feeds for various classes of livestock and systems to avoid errors in
feeding practices
• harvest feeds at proper moisture contents and ensile them in suitable storage systems
• monitor water quality and assure clean delivery systems

11 | P a g e
B.4.6 Management of Groups and Housing

Housing and management systems are constructed to minimize contact between young and
older animals. In effect, the young are given time to develop immunity to diseases before joining the
adults. The facilities also permit implementation of feeding and management practices to assure
maximum growth, health and comfort.

We will:

• implement maternity-pen and newborn-kid management practices that prevent kids from ingesting
manure.
• separate dry dairy does from milking does
• implement practices to prevent the spread of contagious mastitis
• provide adequate feed bunk length and water trough access per animal

Table 2. Initial Cost of Stocks

B. Feeding

Although the goat has a great capacity for consuming fibrous feed (roughage), it needs to be
given forage or good quality, such as napier, and corn silage.

Schedule:

7:30am– Fresh forage or grass

10:00am – Formulated Feeds
1:00pm– Formulated Feeds
3:00pm – Corn Silage
