PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1.

BACKGROUND/RATIONALE:

Goat production is one of the ideal farm enterprises if properly managed in the farm. This project is easy to handle and can utilize family labor and which also requires lesser capital to start in backyard raising. Goat raising is undertaken mostly by small farmers mostly backyard raisers. An average of one or two heads is raised by every farmer. Only a handful of commercial-scale goat farms can be found in the locality. The optimum potential of the goat as one of the main sources of milk and meat has not been fully tapped in the Philippines. Considering the farmers’ resources and preferences for technology, goat could supplement the income of small farmers and brings the undernourished children a cheaper source of meat and milk to improve their diet. The goat is popular known as the poor man’s cow because children and old folks who cannot afford cow’s milk prefer drinking goat’s milk. Aside from being cheap, goat’s milk is more digestible compared to cow’s milk. In a study conducted by a government agency, it was found out that goats are multi-purpose ruminants producing 58.4% milk, 35.6% meat, 4.3% hide and 1.7% fiber. According to them, these small ruminants can provide the answer to improve nutritional requirements of the predominantly rural farm families scattered all over the country. On the other hand, the need to integrate the farmer’s farm to enhance productivity is the best way to solve the poverty problem. The introduction of this enterprise could greatly help solve the financial constraints of the farmers. Today local market can be easily developed due to the scarcity of this commodity. With the ever increase of meat products, goats’ meat could be readily sold in the market because of its low fat and cholesterol content.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The project will be implemented in the 22 barangays of Mabini, Bohol. There are 50 farmers as target beneficiaries who are all members of the Barangay Farmers Association. The beneficiaries will implement the project with the assistance from the Municipal Agriculture’s Office. This project will serve as an income-generating activity for the beneficiaries since this animal can be sold in the local market or even outside the province, live or in meat. Each beneficiary will be given one (1) packet of this animal, one (1) buck and five (5) does, as their initial capital. This project will be confined in one area with housing at the center as shade-house of the goats and surrounded with fences. The beneficiary will provide his own area of at least 2,000 sq. meters. Expenses for the housing and cost for one (1) packet will be shouldered by the funding institution and the counterpart of the beneficiary is the expenses for the fences and the planting materials for improved grasses, because he will be required to plant improved grasses for pasture and forage, aside from supplemental feeding for the goats, inside his confined area. This project is under the supervision and assistance of the Local Government Unit through the Municipal Agriculture’s Office. 3.
