06Machines and items you need
The basic goat farming unit needs these items. Total cost is ₹1.5 lakh — building/civil ₹45 thousand, machinery ₹91 thousand and working capital ₹15 thousand.
| Item | What it is for |
|---|---|
| 10 does + 1 buck | Osmanabadi, Sirohi or a good local breed — the main cost |
| Raised (machan) shed | Airy, dry floor — less disease |
| Feed trough and water | Separate, above the ground |
| Chaff cutter | To cut fodder |
| Animal insurance | For every animal |
| Medicine kit | Dewormer, wound care, thermometer |
| Feed for the first months | Working capital |
Before the DPR, take fresh quotations from 2–3 suppliers — the bank asks for them.
07How the work is done — from start to sale
- Choose the breed: A good breed for your area, healthy and vaccinated.
- Build the shed: Raised, airy and protected from rain.
- Grazing and fodder: Grazing + green fodder + a little concentrate and minerals.
- Vaccines: PPR, ET and others; deworm every 3–4 months.
- Breeding: With a good buck; the model counts about 14 kids a year.
- Sale: Sell 7–8-month-old males (~18 kg) around festivals.
- Improve the herd: Cull weak does, keep the best ones.
08Monthly view (year 3)
Yearly figures divided by 12, so you can see what comes in and goes out each month.
| Item | Per month |
|---|---|
| SalesMonthly average | ₹8 thousand |
| Total costRaw material, labour, power, interest and depreciation | ₹5 thousand |
| Net profitSales − total cost | ₹2 thousand |
| Loan instalment (EMI)₹1.4 lakh loan, 11% interest, 6 years (after 1-year moratorium) | ₹2,596 |
The bank checks that profit and depreciation cover the EMI comfortably. Sales will vary by season — keep 2–3 months of expenses aside.
09What if things change? (year-3 profit)
| Situation | Yearly profit |
|---|---|
| As estimated | ₹29 thousand |
| Selling price 10% lower | ₹20 thousand |
| Selling price 20% lower | ₹10 thousand |
| Selling price 10% higher | ₹39 thousand |
| Costs 10% higher | ₹23 thousand |
Costs are kept the same when price changes. The biggest risk is the selling price — fix buyers and prices first.
