Jaba Sheep Farm, Mansehra (Wool, Mutton Production & Processing Unit)

Hazara and Malakand divisions of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan, are well known for transhumant livestock production, specially the wool and mutton animals. Rambouilett Sheep Farm established in 1954 at Jaba, in District Mansehra of Hazara division, is located on the main Mansehra-Naran highway at the gate way of Naran Valley and adjacent to the Silk Road leading to the Republic of China. Rambouilett sheep flock at Jaba farm is the only one of its kind in the south Asia. Rambouilett sheep are famous for fine wool production. The Ramghani sheep breed developed as a result of crossing the local Kaghani sheep with the exotic Rambouilett is spread all over Hazara and Malakand divisions, and the one million population in the region is producing over 2250 metric ton fine wool. Due to lack of wool processing facilities (grading and scouring), the best quality wool is never profitable to the farmers.

The region also offers large base for small ruminants for organic mutton production, comprising 0.87 million sheep and 4.14 million goats.  The natural minerals and trace elements that passes on to the meat of these animals through the fodders and grasses grown in these regions, give it a unique flavor, color, texture and taste, that is not match- able by meats from other parts of the world.

To enhance / increase the production of fine wool and mutton on commercial basis the KP-BOIT in collaboration with Agriculture (Livestock) Department intends to invite private sector for establishment of modern / international standard sheep farm at Jaba (Mansehra). To set up a modern/international standard wool and mutton processing facilities at  Jaba (Mansehra) to promote wool and mutton production. Farming of Rembullet Sheep for fine wool production and to keep intact the nucleus breed for further production of the captioned Sheep. Small ruminants farming for mutton production
