OVERVIEW
Nigeria’s livestock resources consist of 14 million cattle, 34 million goats,
22 million sheep, 100 million poultry, 1 million horses and donkey as well as
negligible number of camels. The livestock plays an indispensable role in the
traditional agriculture and largely subsistence economy, the sub-sector
contributes about 15.3% of the total agricultural sector. The sector is
undergoing a massive transformation fuelled by high demand for meat, which
is likely to double in the near future, the major forces behind this, is the
combination of
population growth, urbanization and income growth.
In the recent past, there is a greater emphasis on sustainable beef
production through backyard beef fattening which has its focus on the long-
term health of the environment while maintaining the economic viability of the
farm and addressing consumers’ concern about beef they eat. Cow fattening
simply refers to the preparation of the cattle for marketing. People fatten cow
for the same reason that other men operate factories, namely to make a profit
by converting raw material which are of low value in their natural form into a
product for which there is a good demand and sell for better prices.
In Nigeria, the common breeds used in the fattening program include
Red
Page | 3
Bororo, Ndama, Rahaji, Muturu, Sokoto Gudali, Abore and Mbala. These are
reared mostly in the tropical and sub-tropical regions of the country for beef
production. They have a body characterized by great depth and width; and
they
are bred primarily for the production of meat under special conditions. These
breeds of cattle carry considerable muscle especially around the loin. These
classes of animal possess a greater efficiency of converting poor quality forage
into a good quality protein (meat). The height of the animal has been found to
be a useful indicator of animal performance in the feedlot. Taller animals
generally grow more quickly and lay down less fat than shorter ones.
Beef cattle trade provides the largest livestock market in the country.
Millions of Nigerians made their livelihood from the beef enterprises as
producer, marketers and transporters. Others, as processors of beef products,
feed millers, veterinary services, and, in agricultural machineries. It also
generates a lot of revenue to the government through various forms of
taxations.
In-spite of all the contributions, the livestock sub-sector is a relatively
neglected part of agriculture with its supporting services collapsing well ahead
of others. Though Nigeria plays a vital role in the livestock economy of Africa,
her livestock production is not enough to meet the domestic consumption
Page | 4
requirement. The total supply of livestock products falls short of the overall
demand. In some cases, the domestic production and noted importations are
together still not enough to meet more than 60% of the actual demand.
The economic viability of cow fattening enterprises is not in doubt. This
is because raw materials needed for the venture can be sourced at ease. Also,
the production technology is simple and the man power requirement can be
met with family labour.
However, there appears to be a major constraint to the improvement of
the local beef fattening enterprises and that is finance. The most devastating
problem confronting the African farmers is accessibility to capital. The greatest
need for present day farmers in Nigeria is capital for modernizations and
expanding their operations.
The small farmer with his small land, lack of collateral has made it
almost
impossible for him to be able to access credit.

SWOT ANALYSIS
Aminu Shehu Cattle Fattening do not intend to launch out
with trial and error hence the need to conduct a proper SWOT
analysis. We know that if we get it right from the onset, we would
have succeeded in creating the foundation that will help us build
standard cattle fattening business that will favorably compete
with leading cattle fattening / livestock farms in Nigeria and in
the rest part of the world.
As cattle fattening business, we look forward to maximizing
our strength and opportunities and also to work around our
weaknesses and threats. Here is a summary from the result of
the SWOT analysis that was conducted on behalf of Aminu
Shehu Cattle Fattening;
Strength:
Our strength as cattle fattening business is the fact that we
have healthy relationships with loads of major players
(agriculture merchants) in the livestock farming industry; both
suppliers and buyers within and outside of Nigeria and this
comes from our vast experience of several years in the business.
Page | 18
We have some of the latest cattle fattening machines; tools
and equipment that will help us breed our cattle in commercial
quantities with less stress. Aside from our relationship (network)
and equipment, we can confidently boast that we have some the
most experienced hands in cattle fattening / livestock farming
industry.
Weakness:
Our weakness could be that we have not been practicing
with up to date trends in the business. We are aware of this and
from our projection will overcome this weakness with time and
turn it to a major advantage for the business once we obtain the
financial loan sought by the purpose of this business plan.
Opportunities:
The opportunities that are available to us cannot be
quantified, we know that there are loads of homeowners, and
industries that will source for cattle, beef, and milk and also
industries that will source for the raw materials from our
livestock farms both in Nigeria and other parts of the world.
Page | 19
Threat:
Some of the threats and challenges that you are likely going
to face when you start your own cattle fattening are global
economic downturn that can impact negatively on household
spending, bad weather cum natural disasters (draughts,
epidemics), unfavorable government policies and the arrival of a
competitor (a commercial farm that rear same animals) as our
cattle business within same location. There is hardly anything
you can do as regards this threats and challenges other than to
be optimistic that things will continue to work for your good.

MARKET ANALYSIS
MARKET TRENDS
One of the common trends in the commercial cattle
fattening or livestock farming line of business is that most
players in the industry are no longer concentrating only on
farming a particular species of livestock or just livestock / cattle
farming alone.
They now find it easier to run both livestock farming and
crop cultivation. Some even go ahead to include meat and milk
processing and packaging business alongside their product
offerings; it helps them maximize profits in the agriculture
industry.
Despite the fact that commercial cattle fattening / livestock
farming has been in existence since time immemorial, that does
not in any way make the industry to be over saturated;
commercial cattle farmers are exploring new technology to
continue to improve cattle fattening processes and also meat and
milk preservation and packaging process. The fact that there is
always a ready market for cattle (cows, oxen, bulls, bullocks,
steers, heifers and calf et al) makes the business ever green.
Page | 22
As a matter of fact, one of the new trends in livestock
farming industry is that with the recent advancement in
technology livestock farmers can now improve the various breeds
of the animals they are breeding. As a matter of fact, it is now
easier for livestock farmers to comfortably import the kind
of breed of domestic animal they want to breed from any
country of their choice and also advancement in technology
has made it easier to cross – breed different animal.
OUR TARGET MARKET
Naturally, the target market of those who are the end
consumer of livestock farm produce and also those who benefits
from the business value chain of the agriculture industry is all
encompassing; it is far – reaching.
Every household consumes produce from livestock farms be
it meat, milk, and the skin (leather) used for bags, belts and
shoes production et al. So also, a large chunk of manufacturing
companies depends on livestock farms for some of their raw
materials. In essence a cattle farmer should be able to sell his or
her farm produce to as many people as possible.
Page | 23
We will ensure that we position our business to attract
consumers of agriculture produce not just in Nigeria alone but
also other parts of the world which is why we will be exporting
some of our farm produce either in raw form or processed form to
other countries of the world.
OUR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
It is easier to find entrepreneur flocking towards an industry
that is known to generate consistent income which is why there
are more cattle farms in Nigeria and of course in most parts of
the world.
As a matter of fact, entrepreneurs are encouraged by the
government to embrace commercial farming / livestock farming.
This is so because part of the success of any nation is her ability
to cultivate her own food and also export foods to other nations of
the world.
Aminu Shehu Cattle Fattening is fully aware that there are
competitions when it comes to selling livestock and meats all over
the globe, which is why we decided to carry out thorough
research so as to know how to take advantage of the available
market in Nigeria and in other parts of the world.

Page | 24
We have done our homework and we have been able to
highlight some factors that will give us competitive advantage in
the marketplace; some of the factors are effective and reliable
livestock farming processes that can help us sell our livestock at
competitive prices, good network and excellent relationship
management.
Page | 25
SALES AND MARKETING STRATEGY
Over and above, we have perfected our sale and marketing
strategies first by networking with agriculture merchants and
companies that rely on raw materials from the livestock farming
industry who are likely to refer or become our customers.
In summary, Aminu Shehu Cattle Fattening will adopt the
following strategies in marketing our cattle fattening produce;
Introduce our business by sending our brochure to stake
holders in the agriculture industry, companies that rely on
the livestock farming industry for their raw materials, hotels
and restaurants and agriculture produce merchant et al.
Advertise our business and livestock farms in agro – allied
and food related magazines and websites
List our commercial livestock farms in local directories.
Attend related agriculture and food expos, seminars, and
business fairs et al
Leverage on the internet to promote our business
Engage in direct marketing
Page | 26
Encourage the use of word of mouth marketing (referrals)
SOURCES OF INCOME
Aminu Shehu Cattle Fattening is in the livestock fattening
industry for the purpose of maximizing profits hence we have
decided to explore all the available opportunities within the
industry to achieve our corporate goals and objectives. In essence
we are not going to rely only on the sale of our livestock to
generate income for the business.
Below are the sources we intend exploring to generate
income for Aminu Shehu Cattle Fattening;
Sale of Cattle
Sale of processed meat (beef) / can – beef
Boarding services
Breeding services
Dairy support services
Livestock health services
Livestock farming related consultancy and advisory services
Page | 27
SALES FORECAST
From the survey conducted, we were able to discover that
the sales generated by commercial livestock farm / cattle
fattening business depends on the size of the feedlot and the
network of the business.
We have perfected our sales and marketing strategies and
we are set to hit the ground running and we are quite optimistic
that we will meet or even surpass our set sales target of
generating enough income / profits from the year of operations
and build the business from survival to sustainability.
We have been able to critically examine the cattle fattening
industry cum commercial livestock farm business and we have
analyzed our chances in the industry and we have been able to
come up with the following sales forecast. The sales projection is
based on information gathered on the field and some workable
assumptions as well with respect to the nature of cattle fattening
business that we run.
Below are the projections that we were able to come up with
for the first three years of running Aminu Shehu Cattle
Fattening;
Page | 28
 First Fiscal Year-: =N=-66,840.00
 Second Fiscal Year-: =N=5,161,632.00
 Third Fiscal Year-: =N=6,552,998.00
N.B: This projection is done based on what is obtainable in the
industry and with the assumption that there won’t be any major
economic meltdown that can impact negatively on household
spending, bad weather cum natural disasters (draughts,
epidemics), and unfavorable government policies.
PAYMENT OPTIONS
The payment policy adopted by Aminu Shehu Cattle
Fattening is all inclusive because we are quite aware that
different customers prefer different payment options as it suits
them but at the same time, we will ensure that we abide by the
financial rules and regulation of Nigeria.
Here are the payment options that Aminu Shehu Cattle Fattening
will make available to her clients;
Payment via bank transfer
Payment with cash
Page | 29
Payment via online bank transfer
Payment via check
Payment via bank draft
In view of the above, we have chosen banking platforms that
will enable our client make payment for farm produces purchase
without any stress on their part.
Page | 30
FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS AND COSTING
When it comes to calculating the cost of starting cattle
fattening business / commercial livestock farm, there are some
key factors that should serve as a guide. The most important
expenses is the construction of the chain links / cages / fencing
as the case may be.
For example, the start – up cost for a fish farm is different
from the start – up cost for mechanized crop farming, so also the
start – up cost for poultry farming is different from the start – up
cost of cattle ranch (dairy farm) et al. As a matter of fact, if you
choose to start a mechanized crop farming, then you should be
willing to raise huge capital base to start the business. This is so
because some cultivation machines / equipment can be pretty
expensive.
Below are some of the basic areas we will spend our start –
up capital in setting up our cattle fattening business:

SUSTAINABILITY AND EXPANSION STRATEGY
The future of a business lies in the numbers of loyal
customers that they have the capacity and competence of the
employees, their investment strategy and the business structure.
If all of these factors are missing from a business (company), then
it won’t be too long before the business close shop.
One of our major goals of starting Aminu Shehu Cattle
Fattening is to build a business that will survive off its own cash
flow without the need for injecting finance from external sources
once the business is officially running.
We know that one of the ways of gaining approval and
winning customers over is to sell our farm produce a little bit
cheaper than what is obtainable in the market and we are well
prepared to survive on lower profit margin for a while.
