EPP 12
Expansion of Cattle in Feedlots
This project requires an anchor company to manage end-to-end
operations of 71 satellite feedlot farms built by the Department
of Veterinary Services. This project requires 100 per cent privatefunding
by the respective project owners.
Achievements
Given the lack of a strong anchor company to manage and
operate all the satellite farms, the Department of Veterinary
Services identified 57 operators under four companies located in
Negeri Sembilan, Johor and Kelantan. These four companies cover
the operations of 53 feedlot farms. The Department of Veterinary
Services is still identifying operators for farms in Terengganu, Perak
and Kedah.

operations of the paddy fields will be applied to 1,054 hectares in
the other granaries (Kemubu Agricultural Development Authority
area in Kelantan and all Integrated Agriculture Development
Authorities) to ensure the full value chain will be captured in an
organised and profitable manner.
Moving Forward
The Department of Veterinary Services is tasked to monitor the
implementation of the existing satellite farms to ensure that the
project meets the expansion target of 240,000 heads in terms of
feedlot capacity.
Upon re-evaluation, it was found that the GNI impact of this
project does not justify the amount invested in the long run. As
such, no further development will be done on this project from
2012 onwards. Nevertheless, the Department of Veterinary
Services will continue to monitor the participating 57 operators.
