II. INTRODUCTION

In rural areas of developing municipalities, the contribution of goats is highly valued and

has an important role in feeding the populations, an item that is often not adequately recognized

when comparing goats with sheep and cattle. In fact, goats are extremely intelligent animals, very

agile, and independent, with a high level of resistance to diseases, much better than other ruminant

species. Goat farming in Philippines is ideal in the lands where there is lots of leguminous crop

and grasses are grown, goats require low maintenance since they consume tree leaves, weeds,

grasses and agricultural by-products. Goat farming in the Philippines requires only a small capital

to start with, goats are hardy and will adapt to most of the climatic conditions. Goats are easy to

train and handle and maybe raised together with other livestock.

IX. SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL FEASIBILITY

Goats have always been considered very useful animals. Due to their great adaptability

to difficult environment conditions and to different diets, they have always been considered

very useful animals for their good productivity and easy to handle and they do not compete

with man for food and eat cheap feeds.

Goats do not have as many breeds as sheep, and unlike them, they easily adapt to the

harsh environments if they have the opportunity. Like the sheep, goats were probably among

the first animals to be domesticated by man. These animals are also considered to be one of

the first helpers of man, for in addition to providing manure, meat and milk for food.

X. SOCIAL IMPACT ANALYSIS / SOCIAL FEASIBILITY

 The project will provide goats to poor/indigent families in our project area in Barangay.

Tinang, Concepcion, Tarlac. Goats are mainly grown to produce milk and meat, for the

sustainable supply of milk and meat for human consumption is unquestionable, and their

contribution to improve the nutrition of rural populations is likely to increase. Goats are ready

insurance and cash for the family during emergencies and money for everyday use.

The family whom we have given goats will sell the breed kid goat for a very low price

for added income to sustain their daily needs and will turn pass-on-the-gift to other qualified

indigent families of the barangay by way of providing 1 kid for every goat we provide and in

this way sustain and continue the process.

XI. IMPACT OF THE COMMUNITY PROJECT TO THE PEOPLE

The long-term impact of this project is the improvement of incomes and well-being of

poor families. There is also pride in being able to stand independently and know that there

is source of income by way of goats. Each participant who received goats was trained in

how to properly feed and care for their animal. They also agreed to pay a goat back to the

program after their female goat had its first babies.

In this way, the benefits could continue to spread. The gift of a goat starts a cycle of

hope in a community in need. The project can also be a model for other similar projects

such as utilizing chickens, pigs or cows.

XII. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Concerning difficult environmental conditions, goats are probably the most well‐

adapted farm animals, and due to its cheap management and good meat and milk production,
goats have been considered one of the ancient animals to be farm all over the municipalities.

These animals also contribute to a sustainable farming, a very ecological way of living which

enables to use their waist to fertilize crop fields.

The promoter hereby respectfully recommends the approval of the “Kambingan sa

Tinang” project for the qualified indigents of Barangay. Tinang, Concepcion, Tarlac.
