    The Philippine Council for Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources Research and Development(PCARRD) is one of the sectoral councils under the Department of Science and Technology (DOST).Established in 1972, PCARRD formulates policies, plans, and programs for science and technology-

    based development in the agriculture, forestry, and natural resources (AFNR) sectors. It coordinates,

    evaluates, and monitors the national research and development (R&D) efforts in AFNR. It also allocates

    government and external funds for R&D and generates resources to support its programs.

    The first DOST council to earn an ISO 9001:2000 certification for its quality management system,

    PCARRD is engaged in active partnerships with international, regional, and national organizations

    and funding institutions for joint R&D, human resource development and training, technical

    assistance, and exchange of scientists, information, and technologies.

    The Council supports the National Agriculture and Resources Research and Development Network

    (NARRDN), composed of national multi- and single-commodity and regional R&D centers, cooperating

    stations, and specialized agencies. As such, PCARRD has been a potent arm in catalyzing the PhilippineAFNR sectors toward self-sufficiency and global competitiveness.

    Icongratulate PCARRD-DOST for coming up with this Profitability Analysis, whichis not just a publication, but more importantly, a science and technology (S&T)-based solution. PCARRD has put together the necessary information that would

    make agribusiness venture more technically and financially viable.

    The tested package of technology (POT) that PCARRD and its research and

    development (R&D) partners have developed and included in this publication,

    together with the encouraging financial projections, highlights the role of S&T in

    achieving our national development goals.

    I am optimistic that with the dissemination of the Profitability Analysis, which

    PCARRD has prepared for a significant number of priority commodities

    and products, our people will develop greater appreciation of S&T-based

    entrepreneurship in agriculture and natural resources sectors.

    Agribusiness is among the flourishing enterprise in the country today. However,many of our people, particularly the small and medium entrepreneurs couldnot easily engage in agribusiness due to constraints in the establishment process.

    This publication, the Profitability Analysis, is a very laudable initiative by PCARRD-

    DOST having put together a set of solutions addressing startup constraints.

    Specifically, this publication contains key technical and financial information

    necessary to start, operate, and profit from a science and technology (S&T)-based

    agribusiness enterprise.

    I commend PCARRD for pursuing the development of this publication. This very

    important contribution will definitely help boost entrepreneurship, especially in

    the rural sector; create additional income and job opportunities; and promote then

    production of high quality agribusiness products.

    This year, the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Forestry and Natural ResourcesResearch and Development (PCARRD) offers a new technology publication thatpromises to be fully utilizable and handy.

    The Profitability Analysis (PA) arose from our yearning to address your needs as

    small and micro entrepreneurs, farmers and growers. More than just a handout,

    this innovative package of information provides tools to help you gain and secure

    a niche in your business enterprise.

    The PA series is based on our study of selected commodities. Here you will find the

    technical and financial data you will need to put up an agricultural enterprise. It

    presents analytical tools you can use in project planning and in predicting how

    the business would operate under a set of assumptions. Thus, it ensures that your

    projects are technically and economically feasible for implementation. Through

    the profitability analysis and other information, we at PCARRD, hope to contribute

    substantially in providing livelihood options for Filipinos, especially those in rural

    communities.

    Specifically, this PA contains the projected income statement and cash flow for a25-doe-level goat enterprise. Also, it contains the standard production system and

    information on stocks, management and breeding practices, feeds, and nutrition.

    Feel free to use the information in these pages. Contact us for any further

    information you may need or better yet, for any suggestions on how we can make

    this publication better. Together, we can improve the production system for goat

    and seal its importance in our national economy.

    Management Practices

    Breeding buck Starting at weaning (3 months), separate uncastrated buck

    kids from the doe kids to avoid premature breeding

    Provide higher energy ration and sizeable space for exercise

    Trim hooves of buck carefully

    Doe and newborn kids

    Clip bucks hair and wash face with soap and water as a

    sanitary measure to reduce odor and control lice

    Groom the buck regularly and give an occasional bath

    Allow nonpregnant females to run with the buck

    Record breeding dates to prevent the doe from kidding

    unexpectedly Separate expectant females from the rest of the herd about

    1 week prior to delivery. Keep these animals in a separate

    paddock/pen for closer observation

    With the signs of approaching kidding, place the doe in a

    bedded dry stall (1 m x 1.5 m)

    Check the doe at half-hour interval and give her every

    chance to kid without assistance As soon as the kid is born, wipe the body to dry immediately.

    Remove any mucus that may be clogging the nose to enable

    it to breathe freely. Tie a string around the umbilical cord

    23 cm from the base of the navel. Cut the cord after the

    knot and dip the navel in tincture of iodine. Place the kid in

    a specially prepared kidding box and keep it out of draft. If

    possible, place it under sunshine to dry off and strengthen

    the kid After kidding is over and the stall has been cleaned, offer

    water to the doe. After a while, offer quality forage and

    concentrate

    Kids Ensure that the kid receives the first milk or colostrum

    If for any reason the kid cannot take colostrum, give the kid

    a liberal dose (from a teaspoonful to a tablespoonful) of any

    vegetable oil or a little milk with fresh egg white Allow the kid to run with the doe for 35 days

    P ofitability A alysis of 5 doe level Goat P oductio

    Guard against wet bedding in kids pen. Change beddings of

    kids two or three times daily

    Protect kids from cold temperature by installing curtain

    sacks along side the housing or place brooder boxes inside

    the shed

    Remove the horn buds when the kid is about 3 weeks old

    using hot-iron cautery

    Castrate 24-week-old buck kids not intended for breeding

    Allow the kids to run with their mothers in a clean pasture or

    freshly bedded pen after castration. Avoid exciting them in

    any way

    Weaner/Grower Separate buck weanlings from the breeding herd to preventdoe weanlings from being bred too young

    Allocate a separate paddock for weanlings or growers

    Excess number of males can either be sold as breeders or

    grown as slaughter animals

    Observe and record the growth performance and health

    condition of the animals

    Practice culling whenever necessary Allow the doelings, 810 months old, to run with the

    breeding herd as these are now ready for breeding

    Breeding Practices

    Does Breed does for the first time when these are about

    8-month-old, well grown, in good health, and weigh not less

    than 15 kg for native and 20 kg for crossbreeds

    For maiden does, two services are recommended, althoughone service can make a doe pregnant as goats are generally

    prolific. When hand mating is being practiced, breed the doe

    upon observation of heat and repeat 12 hours after. Does

    with estrous period lasting for 3 days may be bred on the

    third day

    Rebreed does that return to heat in about 21 days. Failure

    of the does to conceive after breeding with proven buck fortwo cycles can be a good reason for culling them from the

    herd

    Bucks A buck must be at least 1 year old at first breeding

    In controlled mating/hand mating, do not use a mature buck

    in more than four services weekly

    In unrestricted breeding, the breeding load should be one

    buck for every 25 does or less depending on the size, terrain,

    and vegetation of the pasture

    Nutrition/Feeds

    and Feeding

    Nutrients Provide ample amounts of water, carbohydrates, proteins,

    fats, minerals, and vitamins

    Classes of feeds Roughages: cheapest sources of nutrients that includegrasses, legumes, crop by-products, and tree/shrub leaves

    Concentrates: feeds low in fiber and high in energy content,

    e.g., rice bran, corn bran, copra meal, cane molasses, etc.

    Practical feeding Provide goats with unlimited access to fresh grass and

    legume. Give 23 kg of fresh leaves of trees and shrubs such

    as ipil-ipil, kakawate, flemingia, sesbania, desmanthus,

    rensonii, among others Provide the animals additional sources of protein, energy,

    and other nutrients, e.g., UMMB, when lower quality

    roughages like native pasture grasses and mature improved

    grasses and legumes are part of the diet

    Supplement with concentrate at 30% of the dry matter

    intake to further improve performance

    When available and accessible, agro-industrial by-products

    like brewers spent grains, pineapple pulps, molasses, andbanana rejects are good basal feeds for productive goats

    Herd Health Management

    Suggested pointers When buying or selecting your breeder stocks, examine

    the animals for the presence of superficial lumps/abscessesby running your hands on the neck, abdominal, and pelvic

    regions. The presence of lumps/abscesses indicates caseous

    lymphadenitis and there is a high possibility that these

    could infect the herd. Also check for the presence of wartlike

    lesions in the mouth

    Provide good housing. It should be elevated, ladderized, and

    can be cleaned easily

    Deworm newly bought animals with an effective dewormer

    (e.g., Vermisantel, Ivermectin, Levamisole) upon arrival in the

    farm and isolate these for 30 days

    Deworm animals when signs (diarrhea, loss of weight,

    ruffled hair coat, pot bellied, etc.) of parasitism is observed.

    For pregnant does, deworming is done 34 weeks prior toexpected kidding

    Provide rehydration fluids (oresol) to sick and weak animals

    In regions where foot and mouth disease (FMD) is prevalent,

    vaccinate the animals with FMD vaccine. Likewise, if

    hemosep vaccine is available, vaccinate them as well

    Check for the presence of lice. A practical way to do this is

    to observe the haircoat of the animals. If haircoat is alwaysruffled and the animals are always scratching their body

    using their head, horns, or against the wall, it could mean

    that they have lice. Delouse the animals with an effective

    insecticide (e.g., asuntol, ivomec, and neguvon powder, and

    follow the instruction for application)

    Marketing

    Marketing Tips Know the prevailing market price Sell during periods when prices are most favorable or when

    the demand is high

    Organize and plan your marketing strategy to do away with

    unscrupulous traders

    Raise only good-quality animals (e.g., upgraded) to gain

    higher profits. Upgraded animals have bigger body

    conformation and grow faster than native animals; hence,turnover of capital is faster

    Castrate male kids that are intended for slaughter

    Dispose all marketable animals readily. There is no

    advantage in keeping disposable animals; these will just add

    up to your expenses

    Do not market diseased and pregnant animals

    Know the buyers preference in terms of weight, sex, breed,

    and age

    If possible, sell animals based on weight rather than on a per

    head basis
