LAHORE: The Punjab government intends to export 400,000 animals after rearing under feedlot fattening programme and helping 80,000 livestock farmers to achieve the goal set by the government through “livestock kissan card” over next two years.

The Minister said that institutions like the University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences are providing such education and training to our youth that they can play their role in the livestock sector in their practical life. He said that the livestock sector is a top priority of the government, and practical steps are being taken for its development.

A good initiative. It would be better if a local meat processing industry was also developed as part of the plan. However, I hope this won't make the local price of meat go up further.
