1- DISCLAIMER
This information memorandum is to introduce the subject matter and provide a general idea
and information on the subject. Although, the material included in this document is based
on data / information generated from experiments and field testing by a team of relevant
scientists; however, it is based upon certain assumptions which may differ from case to
case. The contained information may vary due to any change in any of the concerned
factors, and the actual results may differ accordingly from the presented information. The
PARC and its employees do not assume any liability for any financial or other loss resulting
from this memorandum in consequence of undertaking this activity. The prospective user of
this memorandum is encouraged to contact qualified consultant/technical expert, especially
designated focal person(s) of this enterprise for reaching to an informed decision.
2- PURPOSE OF DOCUMENT
The purpose of this document is to facilitate potential investors in by providing them with a
general understanding of the business, with the intention of supporting potential investors
in crucial investment decisions. The project pre-feasibility may form the basis of an
important investment decision and in order to serve this objective, the document/study
covers various aspects of project concept development, start-up, production, finance, and
business management. The need to come up with pre-feasibility reports for undocumented
or minimally documented sectors attains greater imminence as the research that precedes
such reports reveal certain thumb rules; best practices developed by existing enterprises by
trial and error, certain industrial norms and well established research findings that become
a guiding source regarding various aspects of business set-up and it’s successful
management. Apart from carefully studying the whole document, one must consider critical
aspects provided later on, which form the basis of investment decisions.
3- Introduction to scheme
Prime Minister’s Youth Business Loan Program, for young entrepreneurs, with an allocated
budget of Rs. 5.0 Billion for the year 2013-14, is designed to provide subsidized financing at
8% mark-up per annum for one hundred thousand (100,000) beneficiaries, through
designated financial institutions, initially through National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) and First
Women Bank Ltd. (FWBL). Loans from Rs. 0.1 million to Rs. 2.0 million with tenure up to 8
years inclusive of 1 year grace period, and a debt: equity of 90: 10 will be disbursed to SME
beneficiaries across the Pakistan, covering; Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,
Balochistan, Gilgit-Baltistan, Azad Jammu & Kashmir and Federally Administered Tribal
Areas (FATA).
4- EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Beef from young male calves (12-18 months old) of buffalo and cattle is one of major source
of proteins of high biological values and foreign exchange through production of milk, meat
and hides. However quality of beef due to their stunted growth rate and poor carcass yield
is not satisfactory. Farmers prefer to feed to female calves for replacement of herd. Male
calves become neglected due to malnutrition, emaciation and diseases leading to low
weight at marketing age and less carcass yield when slaughter. Growth rate and quality of
beef and economic return from calves can be improved by fattening. Domestic and
international literature has revealed a growth rate of 700 to 900 g/day when calves are
fattened with a variety of protein supplements along with appropriate health cover and
management.
Such fattening trials can be successfully carried in rural as well as urban areas of Sindh,
Punjab, Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Balitistan, AJ&K and FATA. Such a project
can be easily completed by conducting series of trials, each on 25 calves (12-18 months old)
for a period of 120 days. Fattened calves can be sold as live or as carcass or cut pieces in any
part of the country. A loan of Rs 1.059 offers a good opportunity for an economic
investment not only for the production of quality beef but also jobs for our talented youth.
Given the cost assumptions, Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and
payback period are Rs.3,308,171, 29% and, 4.63 years, respectively.
• Product: At the moment most of beef is coming from slaughtering of spent animals which
is and low quality compared with that from young calves. Fattening of young calves with
quality supplements will yield of high grade. Production and use of quality will not only
improve our own health but also socioeconomic conditions with foreign exchange earned
through export of surplus.
• Target Market: In addition to major cities, such as Quetta, Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad,
there is an enormous export potential for Middle Eastern countries.
• Employment Generation: The proposed project will provide direct employment to two
individuals. Financial analysis shows the profitability of proposed business within first year
of its operation.
6- CRITICAL FACTORS
The commercial viability of the proposed project depends on the following factors:
• Selection of calves of local breeds of buffalo and cattle, balanced feeding, proper housing,
management, appropriate health cover, well defined marketing and dedicated supervisory
staff will play very important role in exploitation of genetic potential local breed and will
ensure the success of the project.
• Farm may be positioned near to market so that supply of inputs and disposal of final
products could be managed easily.
• It should have enough elevation, so it can be drained easily during the off season.
• Calves should preferably represent local breed and disease free with a desirable body
conditions.
• Farm is required to maintain the complete record of inputs and out puts (Calves, fodder
production or purchase, Feed intake, body weight, morbidity, mortality, sale of animals
and manure) and infrastructure like buildings, equipments and fuel for successful
marketing and traceability.
• Farm should have strong market linkages for effective disposal of produce.
Description Details
Net Present Value (NPV) 3,380,171
Internal Rate of Return (IRR) 29%
Payback Period (years)
Factors that influence the profitability of calve fattening are farm management, quality of
inputs, environmental factors and market situation.
Following table provides list of Furniture and Fixture required for fattening calves.
Total: 50,000
Final product of the trial is 25 fattened calves ready for sale in market that will generate
revenue. Trial will be repeated at least thrice a year with sufficient generation of funds.
