2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The demand for quality meat is continuously rising all over the world. Therefore export
opportunities of meat from Pakistan are also rising as Pakistan is one of the largest
producers of animals. Markets like Gulf and Middle East have great potential for Halal
meat suppliers.
The pre-feasibility is about setting up a facility where farm animals are slaughtered and
processed into meat products. The animals that are commonly slaughtered for food are
cattle (beef & veal), sheep (lamb & mutton). This slaughterhouse will be set up on
modern standards and promise to provide highly hygienic meat products for export
purpose.
The proposed business venture should preferably be located in the industrial area of
any of the major urban cities of Pakistan. The unit will have a installed production
capacity of slaughtering 240 small animals and 96 large animals per day. However the
initial capacity is assumed at 35% (84 small & 34 large animals per day) whereas
maximum capacity utilization is considered as 80% (192 small & 77 large animals per
day). This production capacity is estimated to be economically viable & justifies the
capital as well as operational cost of the project. However, entrepreneur’s knowledge of
meat industry, development of quality product, competitive pricing and strong linkages
with international networks are factors for the success of this project.
The estimated total cost of the proposed slaughter house is Rs. 210.96 million out of
which Rs. 196.18 million is the capital cost and Rs. 14.78 million is for working capital.
The project is to be financed through 50% debt and 50% equity. The project NPV is
around Rs. 277.62 million, with an IRR of 42% and Payback Period of 3.08 years. The
project will provide employment opportunities to 45 people including owner manager.
The legal business status of this project is proposed as ‘Sole Proprietorship’.
3 INTRODUCTION TO SMEDA
The Small and Medium Enterprises Development Authority (SMEDA) was established in
October 1998 with an objective to provide fresh impetus to the economy through
development of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
With a mission "to assist in employment generation and value addition to the national
income, through development of the SME sector, by helping increase the number, scale
and competitiveness of SMEs", SMEDA has carried out ‘sectoral research’ to identify
policy, access to finance, business development services, strategic initiatives and
institutional collaboration and networking initiatives.
Preparation and dissemination of prefeasibility studies in key areas of investment has
been a successful hallmark of SME facilitation by SMEDA.

Pre-Feasibility Study Slaughterhouse
The meat industry of Pakistan is working mostly on unorganized pattern since its
inception. The street slaughters are the major source of meat for masses, which is poor
in quality and hygiene. In spite of one of the largest animal producer, meat export of
Pakistan is at the lower end due to unorganized industry pattern. However the industry
trend has changed in urban cities since last ten years and modern slaughterhouses
have been installed both by the private and public sector.
This particular pre-feasibility provides the basic details for setting up fully automated
slaughterhouse which will provide quality hygienic meat as per international standards
for export purpose only. The target market for this project will be Middle East and Gulf
countries. The major product line of venture includes meat of small (sheep & goat) and
large (cow & buffalo) animals.
Slaughterhouses should be situated at a distance from the residential areas. This is to
prevent possible inconvenience to the residents, either by way of pollution from
slaughter wastes or by way of nuisance from noise or stench/smell. It is suggested to
establish the project in industrial area where all required utilities are easily available like
sanitation, water, electricity and transportation infrastructure.

Pre-Feasibility Study Slaughterhouse
This proposed unit with modern processing machines including slaughtering plant for
goat & cattle and cold storage plant can be purchased from local machinery suppliers of
different countries. However it is suggested to use Chinese machinery as they are less
expensive and equally good in quality.
The proposed project will provide direct employment opportunities to 45 people initially.
5.1 Production Process Flow
The production process starts with 12 to 18 hours rest of animal before slaughtering.
This process is known as lairage. Animal should be served with water only in lairage.
While in lairage, veterinary doctors use to conduct an anti mortem in which animal is
thoroughly checked. Once anti mortem and lairage are completed slaughtering process
starts by sending animal in cattle tunnel in front of Muslim slaughtering box.
Slaughterer’s will slaughter animal one by one through cattle slaughtering box and
helper hang the animal through chains on Bleeding Automatic Line. Once the blood is
fully drained from animal, slaughterers start removing the skin of animals. This is known
as skinning process. The next step is to cut open the animal body to dislodge the
contents and produce the carcass. It is important that the carcass remains or is placed
in the hanging position on railing. This process is known as evisceration. After
evisceration, veterinary doctors and nutritionist conduct post mortem, in which meat
quality and hygiene examination are conducted as per the required standards.
After post mortem the hanged carcasses are sent to refrigeration plant for required
chilling. After the required chilling process, meat is ready for dispatch. Following is the
process flow diagram for proposed slaughterhouse.

The total installed capacity of the project is assumed at 240 small and 96 large animals
per day. The initial operational capacity of the project will be 35% with an annual growth
of 5%. Maximum capacity utilization of the project is assumed at 80%.
6 CRITICAL FACTORS
Following are the factors critical for the success of this business venture;
November 2014 6
Pre-Feasibility Study Slaughterhouse
Develop strong linkages with animal suppliers for sourcing quality live
animals on time at economical prices.
Time management is very important in slaughterhouse business. Delay in
delivery can cost very high as the product is perishable.
Good relations with the buyers in targeted countries.
Proficient marketing campaign in order to grab new orders from abroad is
crucial for this business.
Efficient management of stock to keep inventory cost at the minimum.
Knowledge about the latest market trends is critical.
Induction of trained human resource for the handling of business
operations especially in operations and sales.
As mentioned earlier this project is export oriented and will sell all of its major products
in foreign markets. The European Countries, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand,
Middle East and Gulf are meat lovers and consume meat on almost daily basis.
The western countries are very much focused on quality meat with all quality and
hygiene standards. They also demand the traceability of animal, which is not being
offered by the Pakistani entrepreneurs due to lack of infrastructure. It becomes a big
hurdle for Pakistani exporters to sell their products in the markets like Europe, America,
Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Due to this most of the Pakistani meat is being
exported to Middle East and Gulf countries at the moment.
Middle East and Gulf countries are a big market for Halal meat. All these countries don’t
have the culture of Agriculture & livestock due to unavailability of fertile land. Therefore
they use to import all the meat from other neighboring countries like Pakistan, India and
Bangladesh due to cost effectiveness.

It is suggested to target Middle East and Gulf market initially. However with the passage
of time, the western countries can also be targeted.
A detailed financial model has been developed to analyze the commercial viability of
Slaughterhouse. Various costs and revenue related assumptions along with results of
the analysis are outlined in this section.
The projected Income Statement, Cash Flow Statement and Balance Sheet are also
attached as annexure.
All the figures in this financial model have been calculated for estimated sales of Rs.
909.73 million in the year one. The capacity utilization during year one is worked out at
35% with 05% increase in subsequent years up to the maximum capacity utilization of
80%.
