Goat Fattening Guide for Eid ul Adha 2026 — Maximize Weight & Profit
Goat fattening (bakra mota karna) before Eid ul Adha is one of the most profitable short-term livestock businesses in Pakistan. With the right feed formula, schedule, and management, you can add 15-25 kg to a goat's weight in just 60-90 days. This guide covers everything you need to start fattening goats for Eid 2026.
When to Start Fattening for Eid 2026
Eid ul Adha 2026 is expected around June 7-8, 2026 (10 Zil Hajj 1447 AH). For optimal results:
- 90-day plan: Start by early March 2026 — best results, gradual weight gain
- 60-day plan: Start by early April 2026 — faster pace, still effective
- 45-day plan: Start by late April — aggressive fattening, higher risk of digestive issues
Selecting Goats for Fattening
Choose the right animals for maximum profit:
- Age: 6-12 months old — young animals gain weight faster
- Breed: Beetal, Teddy, or their crosses respond best to fattening
- Health: Deworm before starting. Vaccinate against PPR and enterotoxemia
- Body frame: Select goats with large frames (long body, wide chest) — they can carry more weight
- Buy price: Calculate your target sell price and work backwards. Aim for 40-60% profit margin

Important Tips
- Always deworm goats on Day 1 before starting the fattening program
- Increase concentrate feed gradually — sudden changes cause bloat and diarrhea
- Provide shade and ventilation — heat stress reduces feed intake
- Keep the pen clean and dry to prevent foot rot
- Weigh goats weekly to track progress
