CHAPTER 2

INTRODUCTION OF COMPANY

2.1 Farm Establishment

Generating ideas from the Felda citizen at Jengka Pahang, Haji Noor Azzuddin

determined to start his own bussiness in selling cattles. In the year of 1998, he opened

a cattle breeding farm at Pahang. It was a farm which was collabarated with a palm oil

plantation. After 3 years, the oil palm tree has grow taller thus prevented the sunlight to

reach the grass to grow. This situation leads to an unsuitable area for the animal to

graze. After lots of thinking, Haji Noor Azzuddin decided to closed his farm. Despite he

had to closed his farm, he already gained a lots of profit.

Using the profit that he gained from previous farm at Pahang, he found a new

and strategic area at Gombak. Gombak Agrofarm was opened in the year of 2000. At

first, no animal house was build. The animal which was imported from Thailand was

placed inside an area that covered only by cyclone fencing. The business scope was

also changed. He was no longer breed the animal but trade the animal. This farm was

build to supply the increasing demand of cattle for the Gombak citizen for festival

purposes only which is during Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

After 5 years running his bussiness, Haji Noor Azzuddin decided to officially

opened his bussinesses. He started by applying approval to use the lands which was

owns to the state government and Selangor water company corporation. He also rent a

piece of land which was own by the villager there. After legally own all the pieces of

land, the sum of the total area of the farm is approxiamately 2.5 acre. One acre for the

infrastructure area and another 1.5 is for razing area. Then, he started to build all the

infrastructures that needs for a farm to run including cemented cattle area, workers

houses and office. He also had broaded his bussiness in selling sheep and goat. The

cost for opened the farm is around RM80000.

The main objective of the farm is to help the government in increasing the protein

sources and halal food supply for Lembah Klang citizen especially for Muslim. This is

because, the core business of this farm are based in Aqiqah1 and Qorban2.

occurred and managing in buying of the animal. The animals are bought from exporter

from Thailand and Australia.

The secondhighest position is Vice Manager and Catering Manager. The tasks

for Vice Manager are to manage all the permit application and order from the

government tender. As for Catering Manager, her tasks are in managing in catering

services such as cooking.

One supervisor is placed in this farm. His jobs are to supervise all the

workers and manage the records keeping. The records that been supervised are date of

slaughter, number of animal dead and many more. There are only two workers in this

farm. Their jobs are to manage all the animals, housing, sales, slaughtering process

and the promotion3.

2.3 Farm Principal

In order to make sure that this farm is continously to supply the demand for meat

and making profit, this farm has four principal that must be followed. The first principal is

to make a strong foundation. A strong foundation can be produce by make sure that all

the cost to setup the farm at the beginning has been covered. This farm was build using

the profit from the previous farm business. So, this farm already has a strong foundation

at the beginning of its establishment.

The second principle is capital turnover. Capital turnover is when the the return

capital that gained from selling the first batch animals is use again as capital to buy the

second batch of animal stocks. This principal will ensure that there is always inflow of

money to buy animals. Thus, this will make sure that there will always animals stocks

for the customer to choose or to book first.

3The concept of the campaign as one of the high investment in terms of profitability in the future. This is due to

the campaign has a strong synergy to increase sales through consistent branding. Look: Mohamed sulaiman and

Aizuddinur Zakaria. 2010. Jejak bisnes Rasul. Selangor: PTS Profesional Publishing Sdn.Bhd. m/s: 213.

The third principle is practices. The practices that always have been applied by

this farm are never buying anything using credit. Haji Noor Azzuddin never even once

buy the animals, vehicles and animal feed in credit. This include in all the payment such

as for animal permit and bills. He paid all of them in cash. This principle is the most

important principle for him because he was focusing in Qorban and Aqiqah businesses.

This is to make sure that his customer have fully own on on their animal.

The last principal is profit. Profit only can be classified as profit when all the debts

are being paid and the capital for turnover are already being seperate. Profit earn can

be use to expand the businesses. Profits gained have been used to broaded a Haji

Noor Azzuddin business which is in agricultural businesses. It also can be used for

individual purposes.

2.4 Farm infrasructures

Below is the farm layout of Gombak Agro Farm that has been captured by

satellite image. All the farm infrastructures were build on 1 acre lands. Another 2.5

acres are for the grazing area. The infrastructures are include of office, garage, dining

area, workers house, abbatoir, feed store, cattle feedlot cemented area, sheep and goat

slatted house, skin preserving house. The most important facilities in the farm are cattle

feedlot, plus sheep and goat house. The area of cattle feedlot cemented area is 100

feet times 15 feet. The maximum number of cattles that it can hold is around 400 to 500

cattles. This situation only occurs during festive season such as Eid Fitri and Eid Adha.

This area consists of resting area, feed bunk, water drinker and places of hanging for

mineral block. The area for sheep and goat slatted house are around 2400 square feet.

The maximum number of animal that can be placed around 2000 sheep and goats.

2.5 FARM MANAGEMENT

2.5.1 Permit Application

Permit is very essential for the entire farm in this country. According to the Animal

Act 1953 (The Rules of Animal (Control of Slaughtering) 2009) permit are required when

the animals are required to transfer from one country to another country and when the

animals are needed to be slaughter.

There are few steps in application of these permits. These permits must be applied

at least 2 working days before slaughter. If the animals are being slaughter outside the

slaughter house, Form 5 must be filled. There are different fees for different animals. Ahead of cattle, sheep or goat are RM 35 and RM 25 respectively. Certificate of animal

health is also necessary. There are RM2 each for every animal.

Gombak Agro Farm had merged to a seasonal business farm to a daily business

farm. There are problems to get slaughtering permit for every slaughtering session.


8/26

Animal that had been booked before the slaughter day can be applied for the permit.

Unfortunately, slaughter may occur every day. Animal might be select and slaughter

during the same day. There is no time for the farm to apply for the slaughter permit. In

other circumstances, the number of the animal that might be slaughter for the next 2

days will be never known. This will lead to a problem which is; how many permit needs

to be applied. If the farm applied for only 2 permits for the next 2 days, but the animal

that will be slaughter is none; this will lead to loss to the farm.

Furthermore, the amount of fee to get for slaughtering permit is quite high. In a

month, the lowest number of animal that been slaughtered are 44 ferrals and 4 cattles.

This will cost around one thousand Ringgit Malaysia slaughter permit just for a month.

Below are the examples of slaughter and health permit.

2.5.2 Buying Animal

Depend on the demand and supply of the products, the number of animal stock in

the farm will be determined. Although the demands of the product are high, if the

number of the animal supply is low, only small number of animal can be requested. This

situation occurs in the late of 2010 when Australia is attack by flood. Even though the

demands for the animals are high, only small number of goats was supplied to Gombak

Agro farm.

There are various sources of animals that this farm applied their animal from.

Beef cattle are obtained from Thailand. Beef cattle that being bought is majorly thin.

This is because; Gombak Agro Farm will undergo a fattening process for the beef cattle.

This is to make sure that the animals are in a good shape before they are being sold. As

for sheep and goats, the animals are obtained from Australia and local farms. Sheep

and goats that come from Australia and local farms must be in a good health and ready

to be sold.

Ten days of quarantine are required for all the sheep and goats that come from

Australia before they are ship to Malaysia. At the beginning of its businesses, Gombak

Agro Farm does their own importation of animals. After few years, they find that being

an animal importer is very difficult. This is because; they have to sell the animals for

wholesalers for lower price. Addition to that, the wholesalers tend to paid in credit and

late. Nowadays, they will buy the animals from Kamran Farm. To reduce the costs, they

will fetch the animals at the LCCT, KLIA.

Beef cattle from Thailand will be quarantine at Padang Besar or Rantau Panjang.

After days of quarantine, the animal will be transported using Lorries to Gombak Agrofarm. Each animal that come to farm will have its own certificate of health. All the

animals that come to the farm will be reached at night to reduce heat stress to the

animals.


12/26

12

Only animal that reach one year old above will be buy. This is because, the

minimum animal age that can be slaughter for Aqiqah and Qorban is one year old for

goat and sheep. As for cattle, the age required is 2 years. After fattening, the animal will

reach around 2 years old.

Processes of buying the animals are done in proper way. Despite of all the

quarantined process and presence of health certificate, some animals are still affected

by some diseases such as Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) and cataract.

4.0 Management of the slaughtering process in Gombak Agro

Gombak Agro is a company that supplies and imports livestock to be made as an

akikah and qurban. Also, Gombak Agro supplies a livestock for customer that makes

catering, wedding or any festival and ceremony. Gombak Agro just import the

appropriate male cattle intended for slaughter. Because of that, Gombak Agro

provided service for slaughter at their farm. Most customers come to buy the

livestock and want the worker at Gombak Agro to perform the slaughtering process

although some customers make slaughter on their own. Most customers of Gombak

Agro Farm come at weekend because as we know, only during the weekend

Malaysian people are free. The slaughter process at Gombak Agro is done manually

and not using mechanical methods.

According to the survey authors during the conduct of industrial training in the

Gombak Agro Farm, slaughtering process done there is according to Islamic law. To

identify further, the author focuses on four aspects regarding slaughtering. They are

butcher, animal, place and matters of slaughter.

4.1 Butcher

Based on the experience of the author during a training industry there, the butcher at

Gombak Agro has met the conditions as a butcher. As we know, butcher is one of

the conditions of lawful slaughter. Requirements to be a butcher is a Muslim,

understanding that good or bad, and not crazy. Slaughterers in Gombak Agro are

Muslims, baligh and understands and have gone to slaughtering courses organized

by the state religious department. Also, butcher from Gombak Agro know how to do


19/26

19

a slaughtering. Some customers want to do slaughter by their own. It is not false but

they must know how to slaughter and most of them expert about it.

4.2 Animal

For the animal aspect, all animals that are imported into the farm, the animal will be

quarantined to ensure that animal health is in good condition. When passed health

tests during quarantine, the animal will be put into the Farm. Before the slaying

occurrs, the management of Gombak Agro would apply permit the slaughter and the

health of the domestic animal department for the purpose of slaughter and the

animal health status. After the permit application process finish, the process of

slaughter will do. It claimed in Islam because the animal to be slaughtered must be

in good health to avoid diseases that can cause harm to the public. In conditions of

slaughter, animal that want to slaughter must be in good health.

4.3 Place of slaughter

According to observation of the author, the place of slaughter at Gombak Agro is

always clean. After slaughter, the workers will clean the blood, skin, born or anything

related to the animal. It is because, they want the place to always be clean and they

dont want flying to come and swarm the place. Also, they dont want any animal like

dogs, chicken came and dirty the place. Besides that, the place faces the direction of

the qiblah. Facing that direction is one of the things recommended while

slaughtering.

4.4 Matters happen at Gombak Agro while process slaughtering

However, there are some problems and shortcomings that need to be resolved to

enable the system and processes in the Gombak Agro more systematic and more

efficient. Among the problems identified before and during the slaughter process are:


20/26

20

4.4.1 The permit slaughter

Each slaughter must have a valid permit from the animal department. However, the

Gombak agro can not meet those conditions if the customer comes and wants the

animal is slaughtered immediately. This is an issue that needs resolution and

discussion of the Gombak Agro and animal department.

4.4.2 Place the open slaughter

Slaughter purposes is open, the place is not open to the public but open to the

animals at the farm. Slaughtering in front of other animal is a makruh.

4.4.3 Shortage of slaughterers

At Gombak Agro, only one person has credentials of slaughter. It is one thing that

management of Gombak Agro must overcome because every week around 10 to 20

animals are being slaughtered. Management of Gombak Agro must hire one or two

person that has credentials of slaughter.


21/26

21

CHAPTER 5

Suggestions to improve and solve the problems of slaughtering at Gombak

Agro:

1) To solve the matter of permit for slaughterers, Gombak Agro can apply for

slaughtering house service from the reliable source. This way, the slaughtering

process can be done quickly and meet with the standards.

2) Gombak Agro has to build walls to divide the slaughtering place from animals

pen to avoid being seen by other animals during the slaughtering process.

3) For the problem of shortage of slaughterers, the company can hire an

undergraduate that has followed the course for slaughtering or send their

workers for this course.

5.1 Conclusion

As an undergraduate of Quranic and Sunnah studies, the author hopes that the

university can cooperate with Gombak Agro to expose students in involving

themselves to do practical slaughtering. This way, it offers a career option for

students in this course.

For Gombak Agro, this suggestion can widen the target market and sales target

to all coners of the country. Besides that, it can help undergraduate who are

interested in this business to know more about this industry.
