Turning pastoralism into a way to earn money is a smart idea for rural residents and land owners. If everything is quite simple with cattle breeding, the demand for the products of such a farm is always great, then before organizing a goat farm, consider the pros and cons. Prepare a goat breeding business plan in advance, given the difficulty of marketing goat meat and milk. Do not jump to conclusions by writing off products from small ungulates from the account. The growing popularity of a healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition will provide the goat breeder with a regular customer base.

Before you start raising goats, familiarize yourself with the nuances of the agricultural business. The profit from keeping livestock should be proportional to the funds spent. Therefore, the organization of a full-fledged farm is beneficial for people living in a village or having a summer cottage, a private house with an adjacent territory sufficient for arranging the economy. If there is space available, as well as funds for the purchase of primary stock, the construction of structures and the provision of necessary materials, start preparing documentation.

Before you tackle the technical side of an enterprise, ensure it is legal. Contact the state tax service and register as an individual entrepreneur. Experienced IP owners do not recommend using the services of an LLC. After that, take official permission to use the area for breeding and keeping livestock from the local administrative authorities. The last preparatory means is a permit for the construction of structures and a BTI technical passport. Upon completion of this paper work, you can start arranging a goat farm.

Room preparation

There are established sanitary and hygienic standards that determine the type and characteristics of production facilities. A complete farm includes:

• indoor goat house;
• paddock for walking livestock;
• utility room for inventory, feed and livestock care products;
• premises for processing and/or storage of finished products.

First, find a suitable location. To obtain high productivity rates, all buildings are located on a flat, dry area, adjacent, if possible, to a pasture. It is desirable to have a forest belt, which will serve as protection from the winds. Even a small yard is suitable for arranging a mini-farm, while large farms require more space.

As a material for buildings, it is customary to use brick or wood. From the inside, the walls are covered with lime and not only for aesthetic reasons: whitewashing protects structures from external factors. The roof is covered with corrugated board, slate or other wear-resistant and rainproof material. Lay the floor at a slight inclination to the drain for waste products. It is better to make the flooring concrete or leave earthen.

Windows and doors are doubled to prevent drafts and heat loss. With year-round maintenance, goats need to constantly maintain a temperature of at least 7 degrees Celsius. The ventilation system and opening windows are designed to remove excess moisture, which reduces the efficiency of the farm.

After the completion of organizational measures, a novice goat breeder should obtain certificates and work permits from the fire service and the environmental inspectorate. After purchasing the first heads, carry out a sanitary and hygienic examination and complete all the required documents with Rospotrebnadzor.

Farm arrangement

When the premises are ready for use, do not rush to buy goats. First take the time to purchase equipment and search for maintenance personnel. As for employees, their need is determined even during the drafting of the project in order to resolve all financial issues in advance. To care for a small livestock of 10-15 animals, additional hands are not needed, employment at such an enterprise is small. Family members can help you take care of a large number of heads, otherwise you will have to hire 2-3 people. When selecting employees, try to select a candidate with veterinary experience, this will save on medical procedures for livestock.

To simplify the cultivation and maintenance of animals, include in the calculations the necessary equipment and inventory. A medium-sized goat farm is not complete without:

• milking machine (if you have dairy goat breeding, then it is necessary);
• feeders and drinkers (their type depends on the chosen method of supplying feed and drinking water, individually or to several individuals at once);
• shearing scissors;
• suction brushes (especially true for Angora and other long-haired breeds);
• tools for cleaning and disinfection of premises.

At present, small business in the direction of the agricultural economy is being formed very rapidly and continuously. Experienced and give special preference to the cultivation of dairy goats. In order for the productivity of production not to fall and grow rapidly upwards, it is necessary to deliberately draw up a business plan for breeding goats and make the right calculations.

• Taking into account other costs and possible loss of milk, the potential income will be up to 6000 dollars / month.
• With such indicators, we get a net profit: 6000 - 4050 \u003d 1950 dollars.

The profitability of the production activity is 48%. If we take into account the lactation period, then the business plan for breeding goats will pay off in 2-2.5 years. With the right planning, you can create a .

Goat milk is an amazing drink, it has so many useful substances that it can be called the elixir of life.

Goat milk is healthier than all other types of this product - it is well absorbed and does not cause stomach upset, and due to the fact that it contains almost no alpha-1s-casein, it is considered to be hypoallergenic.

Goat milk contains a large amount of cobalt, which is part of vitamin B12, which controls and normalizes metabolic processes, and also participates in hematopoiesis. Due to this, the use of goat's milk helps to improve digestion, strengthens the immune system and protects against diseases such as anemia.

In addition, goat milk contains choline, lecithin, albumin, globulin and biotin. These biologically active substances improve complexion, slow down skin aging and make it more elastic. The advantages of a business built on goat milk are obvious: high market price, low competition, relatively cheap farm organization.

Growing goats for meat is considered a less profitable area, although goat meat is considered the most valuable meat food product. After all, it contains many nutrients and important trace elements. Due to its fast digestion, this product can be consumed at any age.

Goat meat is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, minerals, amino acids and contains a minimum of cholesterol.

Goat meat is easily and quickly absorbed by the body and is useful for people with heart disease, blood vessels and atherosclerosis. Also, this product has a beneficial effect on the immune system, increasing the protective functions of cells.

Goat meat is also useful for people with spinal problems, it helps to restore connective tissues. The introduction of goat meat into the diet for hernia can improve well-being.

Regular consumption of goat meat has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the liver and reduces the risk of its diseases, contributes to the prevention of liver diseases due to chronic alcoholism, hepatitis.

From all this, we can conclude that a properly drawn up business plan, a goat farm built on the production of goat milk and meat, will generate income.

Goat breeding as a business

Until 2015, there were no official statistics on the goat milk market in Russia, and the number of goats and sheep was considered by the Ministry of Agriculture together (the total number of goats and sheep in the Russian Federation as of January 1, 2014 was 23.9 million heads, according to the ministry). The difficulties are connected primarily with the fact that this business is concentrated mainly in individual farms (90%) and is not always calculable. The consumption of goat milk in Russia is also extremely low - there are no such traditions. There are about 100 goat farms in Russia, the number of goats varies from 50 to 3,000. The total number of goats in the Russian Federation is about 2 million, according to Soyuzmoloko. The largest number of goats is bred in the Republics of Tyva, Dagestan, Tatarstan and Bashkortostan, Volgograd, Orenburg, Rostov regions and in the Altai Territory. Agricultural organizations produced approximately 5.9 thousand tons of goat milk in 2014.

Russia remains one of the few countries in the world where there is not a single meat goat breed. At the same time, according to statistics in Russia, there are about 1 million goats bred for goat meat. These are mostly outbred animals of woolly and coarse-haired breeds. There is no high-quality goat "gene pool" in Russia. The breeding base of the industry is very weak and is represented today by only three breeding reproducers for breeding Saanen goats: Lukoz LLC (Mari El), Prinevskoye CJSC (Leningrad Region), Rus-1 Farm Farm (Stavropol Territory) and one gene pool farm GNU SNIIZhK (Stavropol) with a total number of no more than 3 thousand heads.

The production of mutton and goat meat in Russian agricultural enterprises in January-February 2016 amounted to 1.32 thousand tons in slaughter weight (2.9 thousand tons in live weight) - this is by 14.5% (by 0.23 thousand tons in carcass weight) is less than was produced in January-February 2015.

With the start of subsidizing the direction of goat breeding, small farms began to appear in many regions, specializing in the production of goat milk and cheese. However, goat milk is not yet interesting for large dairy enterprises.

Goat milk is extremely rare in the assortment of modern supermarkets. And in the markets where farmers and villagers bring their products, it costs several times more than cow's. And this is explained simply - from the standpoint of useful properties, goat milk has almost no competitors. There are much more vitamins and microelements in it than in cow's. As a causative agent of allergic reactions, it does not act. Plus, it is also perfectly absorbed by the body. All in all, a wonderful product.

Due to the peculiarities of production and the limited area of ​​​​distribution, goat's milk, unfortunately, has become a rare guest in the diet of a modern person. And many, having tried a low-quality product once, are afraid to buy it again. To save yourself from disappointment and enjoy delicious goat milk, you need to buy it only from trusted manufacturers and be sure to check its freshness.

The state program of subsidizing goat breeding in many Russian regions should stimulate farmers and serve as an impetus for the organization of goat farms that will directly specialize in the production of goat milk and cheese. That will make it possible to profitably set up a business for breeding goats and producing goat milk. Not so long ago there was no market for goat's milk, but now the demand greatly exceeds the supply. Despite a very high demand rate, the supply is very small. This is due to the fact that in Russia there are very few large goat farms that produce products in large volumes. Therefore, it is long overdue to create large specialized goat-breeding complexes from farms and mini-factories specializing in the production of baby food based on goat's milk.

For a successful goat breeding in Russia, there are all the conditions and prerequisites, and the need and prospects for this branch of agriculture have long been known.

The total daily demand for goat milk in Russia reaches 50 thousand tons. Today, the domestic industry does not produce so much goat's milk and does not cover the needs of the Russian population in it. Even import deliveries are only enough for 8%.

If goat milk consumption increases to 1 liter per capita per year, then production volumes will increase to 140 thousand tons per year. Thus, the prospects for the market are not bad - the domestic goat milk market can increase by 20 or more times.

Based on the market analysis, the goat milk and meat production segment in Russia, including the Tambov region, has sufficient capacity, which indicates a great demand for the products planned for production in the peasant farm, and also opens up potential prospects for increasing the number of livestock and goat milk production and meat on the farm.

The main aspect of profitability in breeding goats will be a well-written business plan.

*Based on the materials of "Tambov RICC APK"

The high demand for organic food has affected. Goat breeding as a business is of interest not only to beginner entrepreneurs, but also to experienced breeders. Goat breeding is a labor-intensive occupation, but with a competent approach, the farm will bring high income, and the investment will pay off within a year and a half.

Goat breeding as a business has several directions:

• Sale of meat;
• Realization of milk and dairy products;
• goat trade;
• Sale of goat hair.

Goat meat is not very popular among buyers, but is a valuable dietary product. It contains proteins, minerals, vitamins, amino acids. Goat meat is eaten by adherents of a healthy lifestyle, people with weakened immune systems, and lactating women.

Goat wool is used as a raw material in factories for the production of clothing, yarn, bedding. In addition, leather items and shoes are made from goat skins.

Breeding goats for milk is the most. Dairy products are in high demand due to their beneficial properties. In addition, many buyers trust home-produced goods, so they opt for rural products.

Growing goats for sale is considered. For this direction, it is not required to buy expensive equipment and obtain permission to manufacture food products. The cost of a breeding goat on the market is several times higher than the cost of growing it.

Note! The first thing to do before opening a farm is to decide for what purpose the goats will be bred. If an entrepreneur has sufficient knowledge in the field of animal husbandry, he will be able to organize a business for the production of several types of products at once.

Is it profitable to keep goats?

Among the large number in the field of animal husbandry, many entrepreneurs are interested in
specifically breeding goats. The attractiveness of this business is as follows:

• Goats are hardy animals. They breed well in a personal compound and do not require special nutrition;
• The cost of keeping a goat is minimal;
• The state provides support and grants subsidies to private farms;
• Low competition in the market;
• Virtually waste-free production.

As in any other area of ​​animal husbandry, raising goats as a business has its drawbacks. The main ones include:

• The entrepreneur's lack of necessary knowledge about goat breeding, which leads to numerous mistakes and the closure of the farm;
• Difficulty in selling products. Retail chains prefer to work with large suppliers;
• Difficulties with the purchase of young animals. Some popular goat breeds are not sold in Russia.

Before implementing the project, the entrepreneur must decide on priorities, study the basics of animal husbandry and the product sales market. A correct and serious approach to the organization of production will avoid unjustified financial losses.

Preparing to open a farm

How to start a goat breeding business? At the first stage, you will need to choose a place for the construction of a goat farm. If an entrepreneur plans to do business on a small scale, outbuildings on a personal plot are suitable as premises. In addition, it is necessary to have a place for walking animals and storing food.

Note! In order to build a modern complex, it is necessary to provide for all the features of animal breeding. A typical goat farm project will help to optimally place buildings on the site and properly equip the premises.

Requirements for the premises

To open a large farm, you will need to find a spacious room, next to which there will be pasture areas. The building must be connected to electricity and water supply. Without these communications, the entrepreneur will not be able to obtain permission to operate from Rospotrebnadzor.

The goat housing should be dry, warm and clean. The area of ​​the goat's rue is calculated depending on the livestock. For one adult, it is necessary to allocate from 2 to 4 sq.m. in the corral. Accordingly, a small farm for 50 heads can be placed on an area of ​​at least 100 sq.m.

Goats do not tolerate cold well, this factor must be taken into account when building a farm. It is not recommended to fill the floor with concrete in the goat house. Straw is used as bedding, which must be changed 2-3 times a month. In the stall, it is necessary to provide compartments for young animals, milking goats and a maternity room.

Farm Registration

The second step towards the implementation of the business idea will be the execution of documents in the Federal Tax Service. When registering, you must present codes from the OKVED list that are suitable for doing business.

It is preferable to register a small goat breeding farm as an individual entrepreneur. When opening a large enterprise, it is more profitable to register an LLC.

The farm will not be able to operate without the permission of the regulatory authorities. The entrepreneur must contact Rospotrebnadzor and obtain a certificate from the Sanitary and Epidemiological Service. In addition, you will need permission from the fire service and the supervisory authority for the environment.

Equipment

In order to receive milk, the farm must be equipped with milking machines. If an entrepreneur plans to sell cream and sour cream, you need to additionally purchase separators and mixers. Technique can be both manual and electric. When purchasing equipment, preference should be given to foreign manufacturers. Feedback from farmers suggests that foreign devices are more reliable and durable than domestic ones.

The goat's rue is equipped with refrigerators for storing products, heaters and fans.

goat diet

In summer, goats eat grass, and in winter they eat hay. In addition to vegetation, the diet of animals includes root crops, cereals and vegetable crops. If the farm is raising goats for meat, mineral supplements and vitamins are added to the feed.

Particular attention should be paid to drinking. Water should be fresh and not cold. In hot weather, goats are watered three times a day, at normal times - 2 times.

An important part of any project is the preparation of a business plan. It allows you to assess risks, analyze the sales market, and understand
Is it profitable or not to breed goats. According to experienced entrepreneurs, a goat farm with at least 100 heads is considered break-even. The farmer and his family members will be able to independently service the enterprise, while saving on staff.

Large-scale production requires impressive financial investments. In Russia, for a long time, the beneficial properties of goat's milk and meat were underestimated, so large complexes for 1000 heads were a rarity. However, the food embargo and state support for agriculture influenced the development of this area of ​​animal husbandry. Investments in opening a plant with stall keeping of goats amount to at least 50 million rubles.

As an example, consider a family farm with 100 heads. The entrepreneur plans to sell milk, meat, young animals and goat hair.

Note! The first season is the most difficult. This is due to the fact that goats begin to give milk from 10 months. Therefore, you will need to be patient and wait until the young grow up.

Calculate the income that 1 goat brings:

• 700 liters of milk per year, at a price of 150 rubles per 1 liter;
• 50 kg of meat, the average cost of 1 kg on the market is 200 rubles;
• 500 grams of wool - 400 rubles per 1 kg;
• 2 goats per year - 20,000 rubles.

When drawing up a business plan, you should take into account the monthly costs of maintaining the farm. One goat brings up to 100,000 rubles of income if the farm has permanent distribution channels and continuously sells its products. The payback of a properly organized business comes on average in 1.5 years.

Goat breeding: profitability

The beneficial properties of goat milk are undeniable, so this product is used not only in nutrition, but also in cosmetology and medicine. But in addition to milk from livestock, you can get meat, wool and fat. Full-fledged offspring is a guarantee of a successful business, and in this case, mixing breeds is not recommended.

The most popular breeds for raising goats are:

• alpine;
• Nubian;
• dairy Saanenskaya;
• British;
• Russian;
• Gorky;
• Megrelian.

When creating a business plan, you need to follow the following aspects:

• breeding goats with the subsequent sale of dairy products;
• breeding healthy offspring for the purpose of sale.

How to get started in your chosen business? First you need to get reliable information about the level of demand for a particular type of product. And also scrupulously assess the scale of production of competitors. There is a pleasant moment in this business: the demand for products is always high, and the competition is small.

Sample business plan for a goat farm

When counting for 100 heads of a goat mini-farm, an amount will be required for:

1. Acquisition or repair of a finished farm - 1,000,000 rubles.
2. Purchase of young livestock for growing full-fledged offspring - 1,000,000 rubles.
3. Milking room - 800,000 rubles.
4. Purchase of equipment, installation and purchase of tools - 200,000 rubles.
5. Tanker for the sale of milk - 500,000 rubles.
6. Purchase of feed - 50,000 rubles.
7. Business registration (other expenses) - 100,000 rubles.

Also, the financial business plan foresees not only one-time expenses, but also permanent ones. These include:

1. Payment of utility bills.
2. Payroll for employees.
3. Payment of monthly land taxes.
4. Feed costs.
5. Insurance deductions.
6. Other expenses.

According to preliminary estimates, a goat farm of 100 heads will produce approximately 1,000 liters of milk every month. Selling even at the lowest price will allow you to receive a stable income.

Taking into account unforeseen expenses and all kinds of losses, the revenue can be in the range of 500,000 rubles. With such indicators, the profitability of the business will reach the level of 48%. And this says that after 1.5 years of stable operation of the economy, the business at home pays off. It is not difficult to draw up a business plan for 50 heads, systematically dividing all expenses by half.

Workroom equipment

For the smooth operation of a typical goat farm project and obtaining the highest quality milk, you need to take care of the purchase of equipment. To do this, you must purchase:

• milking machines;
• separators for milk processing into sour cream, butter, cream;
• space heaters;
• means of ventilation.

Breeding and keeping heads

For start-up entrepreneurs, breeding and keeping goats in a personal backyard is not an easy task. If you have never encountered
agriculture, then you should study the special literature on how to grow, feed and maintain fertile offspring. Having secured all the necessary knowledge, only then can you start breeding itself.

Goats are herbivores. For them, the green pasture is expanse for rapid growth and weight gain. Therefore, the farm area should be spacious enough for them to walk.

Also, one should not forget that goats are afraid of frost, but at the same time they quickly adapt to heat. The room for placing animals on the inside must be dry and insulated. It needs to be equipped with a water supply, sewerage and heating appliances.

Animal feed can be stored in a separate room. And the milk processing workshop must be kept clean and tidy according to environmental standards.

More milk yields can be obtained under conditions if the animals are grazing every day in the fresh air. In the summer, it is better to equip livestock with special pens so that they are not kept tied.

Animal feeding

The number of milk yields and the taste of milk directly depend on the diet of the animal. Therefore, they need to provide good nutrition with a vitamin complex.

In winter, goats receive dried hay, branches of young trees and bushes as food. Feed must be included in the daily menu. A healthy pet needs up to 2 kg of hay per day, so in the summer, take care of its preparation in large quantities.

In summer, the cost of keeping a goat in terms of nutrition is small, because for her the main food is juicy green grass, fresh branches of young trees and their leaves.

In any season, to strengthen the immune system, the body of animals requires vitamin supplements. We should not forget about mineral complexes for the prevention of diseases in livestock.

home farm maintenance

It will not be possible for one person to breed and maintain a goat farm. Even for breeding goats for milk, not to mention other related products, helpers will be required. In addition to care, cleaning of premises, feeding animals, and supplying products for sale are required.

As workers on the farm you need:

• milking operators - 2 people;
• handymen - 2 people;
• accountant - 1 person;
• veterinarian - 1 person;
• supplier (seller) of products - 2 people.

In order to save money, the services of an accountant and a veterinarian can be used periodically. You have to make an agreement with them.

Please note: for 1000 heads, more staff will be needed, because this fact is due to an increase in production volume.

Opening a mini-farm: is it profitable to keep goats

Goat dairy products are rich in vitamins, calcium and protein. Milk is also an excellent folk healer for serious diseases (asthma, tuberculosis and bronchitis). And goat fat successfully treat chronic cough.

For cosmetic purposes, the animal product with the result is used to make creams, masks and mousses for the body and face. Cleopatra's rejuvenating baths are proof of this and have been used by beauty connoisseurs for decades.

And if a future entrepreneur thinks whether it is profitable or not to start such a production, then there is always an advantage in the direction of business profitability. Goat milk can be sold, handed over to specialized collection points, or milk can be processed to make products (sour cream, cream, cheese).

All of this listed item is sold at a higher cost, so there will certainly be a profit from its sale.

How to register your business

Starting a business in agriculture requires legal registration.

1. Choose the legal form of business. For a novice entrepreneur, as an option, IP (individual entrepreneurship) is a convenient form.
2. The code of the selected activity OKVED (goat breeding) is provided to the statistics authority.
3. Extract of the OGRN certificate (state number).
4. An application from a farmer for the purchase (lease) of a plot of land.
5. Help-permission to sell products from SES (sanitary and epidemiological service).
6. Help-permission from the fire department to operate the premises.
7. Extract from the permit from the environmental service.
8. Registering your own business.

It will take about 3 months to collect all the necessary documents. To save your time, seek the help of a competent lawyer.

Additional farm income

If you have taken up goat breeding on a serious basis, then you can increase your income from the farm, based on the proposed options.

1. Sale of young animals.
2. Realization of meat.
3. Surrender to the harvesting points of the skin.
4. Manufacture of products based on milk.

Numerous reviews of farmers do not give doubt that with the right business building, you can achieve significant success in the field of agriculture.

Conclusion

The farm will be profitable if the entrepreneur has the necessary knowledge in the field of animal husbandry.

Skillful approach to business - guarantees a constant income and high profitability, provided that you are a villager. For the urban population, you can choose an alternative option that does not require finding territory and meadows for grazing.
