Space Requirement for goat project:
Basically Goats prefer clean, dry and solid floor; wet places affect their milk production and growth. They need good shelter or shed to protect them from the Nature distraction like rain, winter , heavy winds and predators. the space requirement and the cost associated is furnished in the table below:
S.No.Type of goat Quantity Space in sq/ft Total space needed Rate/sq ft Total cost
1. Does 50 10 500 40 20,000.00
2 Buck 2 20 40 40 1,600.00
3. Kids 68 4 272 40 10,880.00

| 2 | Bucks(Males) | 2* 1,100 | 2,200 |
| 3 | Total Investment | 47,200 |
Main Assumption in this goat project model:
| No | Main Items | Factors |
| 1 | Kidding interval | 8 months |
| 2 | Age at maturity | 12 months |
| 3 | Kidding percentage | 85 |
| 4 | Twinning percentage | 70 |
| 5 | No. of Kiddings per year | 1.5 |
| 6 | Sex ratio (male : female) | 1:1 |

1. Adult Does 10
2. Buckling 55
3. Doeling 42
Fodder/Feed requirement for goat project :
Traditionally goats reared in villages are not given much attention towards their feed and fodder. However, for proper breeding and milk production to help in twinning support, attention needs to be paid to the feeding requirement, which will be green fodder and concentrate comprising channa (gram) and moong chaff, gur etc. Male goats require maximum feed followed by pregnant goats and kids. The cost of green fodder is estimated as Rs.1000/- per month Once in year, concentrate requirement will be 2 months for does, 2 months for bucks and 1 month for kids at a price of Rs.4 per kg.
The approximate feed calculations are explained below :
| S.No | Goat Type | Each Goat Requires feed (in KG) | Total feed Requirement | Feed Cost per Kg (Economic Feed cost) | Total cost(in Rs.) |
| 1 | Does | 6.75 | 6.75kg × 2 months ×50 heads | 4 | 2,700 |
| 2 | Bucks | 7.5 | 7.5 kg × 2 months ×2 heads | 4 | 120 |
| 3 | Kids | 3.75 | 3.75 kg × 1 month ×68 heads | 4 | 1,020 |
| Total | 3,840 | ||||
| Approx round up | 4000 |
Total feed Cost is Rs.12000 + 4000 = 16000 per annum (Note: Feed cost is given approx matley this may be high every year as feed cost is going up every year).

No. Items Total cost (in Rs.)
1. Feed cost: concentrate and green fodder for one month = 3,440.00
2. Labour cost – self (15 days) = 1,000.00
3. Others = 700.00
Total = 5,140.00
Approx round up = 5,100.00

1. Land development (L.S.) = 10,000.00
2. Cost of thatched roof shed etc. = 32,500.00
3. Miscellaneous equipment like buckets, tank etc. = 1,000.00
4. Cost of animals including transportation, insurance, etc. = 51,000.00
5. Miscellaneous and contingencies etc. = 400.00
6. Working capital = 5,100.00
Total = 1,00,000.00
Goat project economics:
A. From 2nd year of project Amount (in Rs.) Amount in Rs
Sales Realization
(a) Sale of adult does 15 nos @ Rs.800 = 12,000.00
(b) Sale of buckling 60 nos @ Rs.900 = 54,000.00
(c) Sale of doeling 45 nos @ Rs.800 = 36,000.00
Total amount = 1,00,000.00
B. Cost of Production
(i) Fodder and feed cost = 16,000.00
(ii) Medicine = 1,000.00
(iii) Insurance = 2,000.00
(iv) Labour Wages = 24,000.00
(v) Interest = 5,880.00

D. Depreciation/Amortisation of expenses @10% = 9,500.00
E. Net Profit = 43,040.00
Bottom Line: in goat project ,The sex ratio of doeling to buckling is 1:1. So, production of each is equal. But
sale of doeling indicated is less as some doeling will be kept on the farm for future
reproduction plan . Profitability may be increased by selling goat milk wherever feasible. With each
passing year profitability would improve further due to increase in number of animals in the farm.
Note: The Goat project cost may vary in different States & Regions depending on state specifics and conditions.
