Approximately 35(M) people in rural areas are attached with Livestock Sector. The average distribution of livestock holdings per family is 2-3 cattle/buffalo, 3-4 sheep /goats and 10-12 poultry, and its share in the income of those families is approximately 40% (Ministry of Finance, 2020). Development strategy for livestock sector in Pakistan requires technological production, scientific processing and establishment of proper collection/ distribution networks with improving cattle market facilities. Livestock development on scientific basis i.e. adoption of modern techniques of breeding, selection of proper breeds of animal and availability of modern veterinary services at town level will also open enormous avenues for increase in exports of livestock and its by-products. The market of Middle Eastern dominated by countries like India, European Union and Canada could be captured by Pakistan by adoption of proper planning and appropriate policies in accordance with international standards and best practices. In Pakistan livestock sector is struggling with certain issues and challenges which needed to be surfaced out so that these issues could be addressed by the different stakeholders in collaboration of each other. |
