2. Introduction
Livestock products such as milk and meat have been
playing an important role as food to the human kind
since ancient times. As these products are obtained from
animals, it gave a reason for the progress and scientific
approach in the livestock sector. However, in developing
countries, this sector is facing a threat of unorganized
handling as a major part is being handled by non
organized sectors. Therefore, there is a need to develop
more plants to handle livestock products in an organized
manner. The present chapter describes the points to be
considered when planning to open a processing plant for
milk ormeat.

3. Project Planning and
Implementation
 An appropriate plan of project is a must before
establishing a food product plan.
 It should cover various aspects and should be given
due importance while preparing an efficient project
report like-
1.A consultant may be appointed to plan and design
the project as perthe proposed market.
2.An architect and structural consultant should be
contacted.
3.A detail market survey should be conducted which
will help in-
Estimating the product volume and range
Deciding the capacity of the plant.

4. 4.The requirements for raw ingredients has to be
quantified.
5.Formulations of plant specifications should also be
done which includes space requirement, list of
equipments, etc.
6.Preparation for plant construction should be well
planned and include –
 Selection of site
 Survey of availability of essential services like water,
electricity, roads, communication, etc.
 Tender for civil works, equipments supply and
installation.
7.Formulation of marketing plans for
 brand name
 Packaging and its procurement
 Labeling materials

5. 8. Appointment of core staff as plant manager,
administration and marketing personnel.
9. Arrangement for sanctions or approvals from
Central/local statuary authority.
10.Coordination of civil construction work with the
suppliers.

6. Preparation of Project
Report
The following information should be provided in the project
report prepared forestablishing a new plant-
 Introduction- the report should have brief information
about the importance and potential of the area
 Objectives- Purpose of the should be mentioned clearly in
terms of proposed food products, size of the unit, etc.
 Entrepreneurs- information of the entrepreneur(s) should
be mentioned such as experience and financial strength.
 Location- information regarding the specific site/location
should be clearly mentioned.

7.  Management- a brief information about the
management process at various levels viz production
management, marketing management and financial
management, should be mentioned in the project report.
 Marketing- information regarding specific marketing
arrangements should be mentioned and include aspects
like-
 annual contracts with any organization
 selling of the product in the wholesale market, etc.

8. Investment Requirements of
a Dairy Plant
For estimation of cost and expenditures, following
aspects should be taken care of-
 Civil cost- it includes-
 land and land development
 production block
 ancillary structures
 effluent treatment plant
 furniture and fixers.
 Plant and equipment cost- includes
 Processing section
 Production section

9.  Packaging section, etc.
 Utility service section- includes
 watertreatment section
 refrigeration section
 installation, etc.
 Miscellaneous items- like fire fighting equipment.
First aid box, workshop tools, lab equipments,
glassware, chemicals, etc.
 Village milk procurement section- that covers the cost
of all aspects concerning the milk collection centers.
 Requirement of personnel- as per the size and
capacity of the plant.

10. Meat Plant Requirements
There may be establishment of an abattoir or a meat
product processing unit. Therefore, the project report
should be prepared accordingly and include aspects like-
 Abattoir- complete drawings should be included with
clearspecifications in terms of
 size and capacity of the plant
 building construction
 watersupply
 drainage system
 ventilation
 details forpest control, etc.
 Site- this plan should include the complete premises,
surrounding and nearby associated locations.

11.  Floor- includes layout of walls, doorways, windows,
partitions, staircase, ventilation fans, work position of
operatives, conveyorbelts, etc.
 Plumbing- should cover the details of the drainage
system.
Required Facilities- To make abattoir a place for efficient,
hygiene and safe working, following facilities should be
provided-
 adequately large slaughterpremises
 separate rooms forcleansing stomach and intestines
 separate room fordressing guts and tripe
 separate room forstorage
 working room
 large chilling rooms

12.  facilities forpropercleaning
 room forveterinary services and inspection
 a clearcut separation between clean and contaminated
parts
 appropriate protection from pests
 changing rooms
 control on to and exit to the abattoir
 adequate ventilation
 an overhead system of rails for further handling of
meat
 facility forcleaning and disinfecting vehicles.

13. Meat Products Processing
Units
 Meat products are considered to have high nutritive
value and very good sensory acceptability.
 As there is variety of meat products having good
scope for business purpose, meat products processing
units can be established for preparation and marketing
of selected meat products.
 For preparing the report on thus aspect, economics
have to be worked out according to the
 product selected
 quantity of the product to be produced
 its marketing

14.  Various aspects details of which should be given in the
project report are-
 Cost of civil work- requirements of building and land
space according to different operations along with effluent
disposal facilities.
 Raw material cost- these are the basic ingredients
required in the manufacturing of meat products. It includes-
 market cost
 availability and source of supply of raw materials
 Cost of processing equipments- the essential equipments
that are required should be listed along with
 estimated cost of equipments
 expected suppliers.

15. Some common equipments required are-
 Meat mincer  Weighing Balance
 Mixer  Vacuum packaging machine
 LPG Stove  Drying cabinet
 Pressure Cooker  Freezer
 Steamer  Furniture
 Geyser  Utensils, Knives, etc.

16.  Other aspects to be mentioned in project report
include-
 Cost of electricity
 Packaging cost
 Laborcost
 Cost of LPG
 Maintenance cost
 marketing cost
 Insurance cost
 Total expenditure- sum of all above cost account for
total cost for the production of decided amount of
selected meat product perday.

17. Conclusion
 Thus, to establish a processing unit, all the aspects
mentioned and discussed above should be considered.
 A suitable or standard proforma may be used for
preparing a project which may be submitted to the
financing agency accordingly.
