THE GOOD GOAT PROJECT

OBJECTIVE

• We are looking for support to establish a goat farm for milk and cheese products.
• We are purchasing 12 goats from Thailand Department of Livestock Development.
• The kids’ parents are from France and the goat breed is Saanen.
• We will be transporting them to our school in August and preparing them for breeding and milk production.
• It is proposed to produce goat cheese which is a popular delicacy in Thailand.

FARMING & PRODUCTION

• We are providing 2,500 SQM. for the goat pens and grazing area surrounding the pens.
• An additional 4,000 SQM. is provided for goat feed cultivation. This is located close to the existing organic farm. 
• We will supplement the feed stock with nutrients and food production by-products which contain the necessary ingredients for a balanced diet, higher yield and enhanced flavour of the cheese.
• The facility will include separate pens initially for 10 female goats and 2 male goats.
• Pens for goats with aliments will also be provided.
• The pens are elevated for ease of cleaning and the facility will include an area for milking, milk storage and cheese production with aging rooms.
• The pens have large overhanging roof for shade.
• Each goat can produce up to 6 litres of milk per day - this capacity can increase further with natural and organic dietary enhancements.
• 10 litres of goat milk is required to manufacture 1 KG. of goat cheese.
• We anticipate full production in 18 months once we have our first kids’ offspring.
