INTRODUCTION
The production of livestock is changing in all over the world to meet the production of
meat, milk and eggs (Seré et al., 2008). From first two decennia of the 21st century because of
anthropogenic activities, finance, urbanization as well as consumer choice livestock demand
is increases twice (Delgado et al., 2001). In 2008, financial crisis limited the livestock
production but in developed countries production of livestock and its intensification is
improved (Delgado et al., 2001; Devendra and Chantalakhana, 2002).
During 2010-11, livestock provides agriculture value about 55.1% o and GDP 11.5%.
Milk production is the huge element in the livestock gives 46.44 billion liters (GOP, 2011). In
2009, Pakistan ranked second number in the milk production of buffalo and 12th in cow in
the world in (FAOSTAT, 2011).

Livestock gives numerous products including animal protein in human diets food,
employment, income, organic manure means of transportation, storage of money to poor and
low standard farmers It is also fundamental in developing countries that is rapidly growing
countries (Garcia, et al., 2003).
In Pakistan population is increases day by day and the demand of dairy products also
increase. Milk is our daily requirement and need in all its form cheese, butter, yogurt etc.
(Bilal et al., 2008). Livestock provides milk, meat production as a source of income and
employment for smaller farmers landless and the poor needy farmers. (Faraz and Waheed,
2016;Faraz et al., 2018). It has significant role if production of crop gives loss in its yield in
this way it has ecomomic as well social role in villages and poverty of a country is also can
reduced ( Faraz and Waheed, (2016; Faraz et al.,2018).
Pakistan stands 5 th in the production of milk all over the world and earn large
foreign exchange by milk and its byproducts (Nestle, 2003).It was estimated that Rs.1075
million were earned by import th milk and its by product during the 1998-1999 and the
estimated growth rate of population is 2.8 % hence milk requirement also require (IUCN,
2002).
In Pakistan livestock is divided into smaller subunits as farmers have ruminants i.e.
cattle 55.5% and buffaloes 60% and a house have less than six animals. For goat small herd
have less than fifteen animals in this way 45% livestock is balanced (Anonymous, 1996).
2
gives 38 % milk production by small farmers and the sales milk for money or use of milk in
home (Ahmed et al., 1996).
Pakistan has about 67% milk production by buffalo a huge dairy animal (GOP.
2005).Buffalo is tolerant in very harsh conditions, Population of buffalo is enhanced 0.106-
0.2 in 1989-2000 million in Italy (Catillo et al., 2002). Pakistan two fascinated buffalo breeds
Nili-Ravi from Ravi and Sutlej rivers in Punjab and also seen in all over Pakistan
Baluchistan, Sindh, Kashmir and KPK.This indicated that it adapt numerous ecological
fluctuations that’s why it shows good results than native and crossbred in Muzaffarabad,
Azad Jammu and Kashmir (Kuthu, 2007).
In Pakistan the province of Punjab is known to agriculture that play a potential role to
meet the food security that provides total production of milk is 73 %, Sindh provides 23%
and others province provides 07% of milk production (Arain and Somroo, 1998).
Factors affecting the production of milk is essential to increase the productivity, there
are two parameters lactation length and milk yield depends upon their hereditary which is
done by selection and non–hereditary by quality and quantity of feed, season and
management that affect the lactation periods and milk production.it was estimated that
breeds in household exhibited same factors cattle and buffalos regarding milk production and
lactation period such as days, season, year, herd, parity and age(Cady et al., 1983).
In Pakistan livestock is also involve in the rearing of camels species that stands at
eighteenth position in its population which is about one million and development should be
done in Thal desert for camels’ production (FAO, 2016).
Pakistan’s largest province by area is Baluchistan has hyper-arid climate (desert).
arid and semi-arid lands. The rainfall varies from Chagai district to 400 mm in the North-
Eastern 50 mm in coastal areas by time, season, topography and ecological regions that
provides wide range of livestock farming to their native peoples. (GOB, 1999).Rangeland
comprises of 93 percent and 28 percent is good for the production of livestock and north-
eastern parts gives 76 percent population of livestock while Southern parts gives 24 percent
population of livestock (Nagy, et al., 1991).
Five percent is arable land of 44 percent is the total geographical land and livestock
play its role which is approximately 20 percent that provides huge rangeland than other
3
provinces of a country (FAO, 2002).Livestock is important for social, economic as well as
cultural values for the peoples. So that there is no optimum value for the animal genetics is
estimated that results livestock’s stunt growth. It is necessary tore view the policies to
maintain production of livestock (Nagyet al., 1991).
In livestock and agriculture development in Pakistan is well furnished by the females
in rural areas (Rasheed, 2004; Waters-Bayers, 1985). Females with males worked (16-18
hours) for agricultuire and livestock production and reared dairy animals by participating 60
to 80% of labour (McCorckle, 1987; Younas et al., 2007).Females perform their jobs like
fodder chopping, watering of animals feeding of animals animal shed cleaning, fodder
cutting, looking after the health of the herd, milking, and making dung cakes (Ishaq, 1998).
In Pakistan about ninty percent of peoples in rural areas have livestock animal look
after marketing of animals and primary medication (Ishaq, 1998). In most of areas females
solely or with their males play a pivotal role in decision making specially related to
production of animal (Timsina et al., 1989).Female farmers have limited resources that limits
the productivity they faced problems for accessing financial services receiving the kind of
extension services resources owning livestock, and securing land tenure rights (Amin et al,
2009).In male dominating society in decision making females are ignored because of they are
uneducated unawareness lack of funds by the government(FAO, 2003; Habib, 2000; Ali,
2007).
There are various problems regarding livestock. So, it is essential to review the problems
including requirements of the increasing socio-cultural change and livestock production and
population and make policies to solve them. Other problems through which livestock
becomes under-developed are deterioration of rangelands, scarcity of sources, high mortality
rate, lack of value addition facilities, policy constraints, poor extension services inadequate
marketing systems and feed scarcity (Anonymous, 2010).
The aim of the study is to develop the livestock production such as meat milk, and
marketing, to provide veterinary services to farmers, improve delivery mechanism system to
livestock farmers, and improving animal quarantine services, prevention of different diseases
of livestock poultry, and for improvement of extension services (Anonymous, 2010)

The aim of the study is to develop the livestock production such as milk, meat and
marketing, to provide veterinary services to farmers.
Improvement in the veterinary as well as feeding techniques for livestock production.
By assessing the specific techniques of improving livestock production in various
areas of Pakistan, it can determine the high prevalence, incidence and mortality rates
which are basically due to the lack of awareness and money.

CHAPTER-2
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Sarwar et al. (2002) estimated that the principal component in Pakistan's livestock
area progress is poor nutrient accessibility. The nutrient pool such as rangelands is exposed to
decline, and yet no precise attempt is made to stand up and advance their efficiency.
Livestock farmers are unaware of the methods that are helpful because they are unaware of
these methods. They adhere strictly to the traditional feeding patterns. The ever decreasing
area under the cultivation of fodder coupled with its time of shortage is the key factor that
deteriorates the usual supply of fodder. Livestock policies in Pakistan favour the horizontal
expansion of livestock rather than the sector's vertical expansion, which poses further
challenges. At present, 121.1 million animal heads in Pakistan need approximately 10.9 and
90.36 million tons of crude protein (CP) and total digestible nutrients (TDN), respectively,
per year. Nevertheless, the respective supply of these two nutrients is 6.7 and 69.0 million
tons and thus CP and TDN are deficient per annum at 38.10 and 24.02 per cent. Today,
livestock earn 51, 38, 3, 6, and 2 percent of nutrients from green feed, crop residues, grazing
barren fields, post-harvest grazing, commodity cereals, and oil-cakes and meals, respectively.
The difference between nutrient requirement and availability could be minimized in terms of
improved seed quality, seed intensity, improved agronomic practices and improved inputs
(fertilizers, water, and pesticides) both through proper fodder research and extension policies.
Rangelands account for 60 per cent of Pakistan's total area, and proper management and
development of the range, community organization, etc. may bring about change. If farmers
are trained to do so, agro industrial by-products and non-conventional feed resources could be
used for livestock feeding. The situation could be further improved by introducing fodder
conservation techniques in livestock feeding systems.
Hashmi et al. (2007) investigated that the goal of this study was to measure
the role of livestock in poverty reduction in the Punjab province's rural areas. Due to its
central location in the Punjab Province, district Toba Tek Singh was selected for the present
study and a sample of 600 small farmers was taken from the district's three Tehsils. A
majority (58.0 percent) of sample area farmers indicated that livestock was their first
preference to increase their income while 27 percent and 11 percent of farmers put livestock
second or third respectively. In other words, the role of livestock in poverty reduction was
6
recognized by a very huge majority (96.0 per cent) of farmers. The results showed that crops
& livestock combination was the main source of income for the respondent and shared about
69 per cent of total income. As the participation of women in various animal-related activities
increased, the proportion of income from this source also increased, and consequently
poverty decreased. The comparison between poor and non-poor farmers showed that poverty
reduction among small farmers was significantly related to animal husbandry in conjunction
with growing crops.
Amin et al. (2010) investigated that the Livestock contributes about 50% of
agricultural GDP. Women are actively engaged in livestock development activities in most of
Pakistan's rural areas. Present study was planned to explore the role of rural women in
livestock production in Tehsile Faisalabad. A multi-stage random sampling method was used
to collect data on animal production activity in the 8 villages. Pre-testing was used to collect
7
relevant information and develop the timetable for the interviews. Analysis was carried out
on data from the 768 respondents to obtain the frequencies; these frequencies were used to
evaluate the variance. Most families (70.6 per cent) had a common family system intact.
More wives (37 5 percent) participated in livestock production activities compared to
husbands (17 percent) out of a total of 768 respondents.
Shafiq et al. (2017) investigated that the Livestock is the most critical
sector in Baluchistan's economy. Nomadic families have their wives and children engaged in
livestock rearing. Women's role in rural livestock is generally never to be ignored. Women
8
are paying attention. They are also involved in milking and processing milk, selling poultry,
and eggs. Women play a significant role in the development of Baluchistan's livestock sector.
Given that livestock plays a major role in the agricultural sector, their role can be broadened
by allowing women to participate in this field commercially. Its services must be recognized
in this respect. Baluchistan consists of two important belts, the Baluch and the Pashtun belt.
Women, living in the belt of Baluchistan, are more active and agile in the handling of herds
of livestock. Women who live in Pashtun, Belt also participates predominantly in livestock
activities, which are within the boundary walls of the house. The extent to which women
have access to livestock benefits depends on the approval of the men. The role that women
play in the marketing of livestock is best addressed by improving their general access to
animal development activities. This paper aims to highlight the role of women in Balochistan
and to discuss the problems that they face. Paper also includes an author's survey research on
two separate areas of Balochistan, i.e. Pashtoon and Baloch belt, which would eventually
assess women's position in Balochistan.
Faraz et al. (2019) investigated that the study was conducted in District Bhakkar's
Mankera tahsil to assess the socioeconomics and associated constraints that affect camel
production. A questionnaire was created and used by a single-visit-multi-subject diagnostic
survey to collect the information from a total of 100 farmers. Camel herders / pastoralists
have been enhancing their living status. Camel plays an important role in the study region
socio-economic importance of the nomads. To boost camel production, the department for
livestock and dairy development and local NGOs should realize and take into account the
camel importance and the prevalent constraints in the study region.

CHAPTER-3
The study was conducted in Pakistan which is composed of four Provinces such as
Punjab, Sindh, Baluchistan and KPK. The data were composed with the support of a pre-
tested and authenticated interview program. Computer software can help to calculated the
Weighted scores, rank order, mean values and standard deviation i.e. Numerical File for
Social Sciences.
10
major purposes of rearing livestock of majority of the respondents were domestic as well as
commercial.
There are various methods to conduct this kind of studies, but for this study due
to serious resource constraints case study method was adopted. Because the case study is also
considered as interactive learning method using real scenario that focus on a specific issue,
topic, or problem. For data collection, a systematic and well-structured interview schedule
was designed. In designing the instrument the orders of the questions was specially taken care
of so that farmers may easily recall their memory and provide the required information with
confidence. Practicability and workability of the interview was given priority for smooth
running of the interviewing process. So, before implementation, the research instrument was
pretested and modified keeping in view the workability and systemization of ordering of the
information gathered. The collected data were edited and standardized by applying some
statistical tests like range, consistency and some thumb rules. Due to the nature of collected
information, the analysis part mostly comprised percentiles for frequency and averages of the
information for central tendency representation.
A list of livestock farmers was prepared with the consultation of local farming
community and livestock department. From each of five tehsils, 400 respondents were
selected through simple random sampling technique. Making a total sample size of 2000
respondents. Different qualitative and quantitative methods were used for the collection of
data from subjects/respondents. The quantitative data were collected with the help of
structured interview schedule (research instrument) comprising both open and close ended
questions. The interview schedule was designed with the consultation of teaching staff at
University College of Agriculture, University of Sargodha, in accordance with the research
emphasis of the study. Five point likert scale was used to identify the level of constraints
faced by the respondents. On the other hand, qualitative data were collected through
interview guide1. The data thus collected was coded in Microsoft Excel, and then analyzed
with the help of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Both inferential and
correlational statistics were used to interpret the results.
Using a platinum loop, 0.01 ml of each milk sample was streaked onto Esculin-
blood agar and MacConkey’s agar plates. Four quarter milk samples were cultured on a 100
mm plate by plating individual quarter sample on one quadrant of plate and incubated at 37°C
11
for 48 hours. A quarter was considered to be infected if 5 or more similar colonies were
present on the plate (Robinson et al., 1988).
Six hundred lactating buffaloes from organized, small holding and individual
holding private dairy buffalo farms in four districts of Punjab (Narowal, Lahore, Okara and
Sahiwal) were screened for subclinical mastitis. A total of 2400 milk samples were collected
in sterilized screw caped test tubes. An on-farm screening was performed and milk samples
declared positive for sub-clinical mastitis were transported to the laboratory. White Side Test
(WST) was performed for screening of subclinical mastitis as described by Barnumt and
Newbouldt (1960). A drop of 1N Sodium Hydro Oxide solution (NaOH) was mixed with 5
drops of milk on a glass plate and stirred with an applicator for 10 seconds. The gel formation
immediately after mixing was considered as positive and no gel formation as negative
forsubclinical mastitis. Collected milk samples were primarily cultured on blood agar using
‘spread out technique’ as described by Lafi and Hailat (1998).

CHAPTER-4
RESULTS & DISCUSSION
Education has a key role for the human development. Pakistan is a developing under
country and most of its population lives in rural areas and education is also the basic
component for rural development. Educational status of livestock farmers is given as follows.

The data showed that a majority (55.7%) of respondents’ rear livestock for semi-
commercial purposes. During interviews/discussion with respondents, it was observed that
majority of rural people rear livestock for a variety of purposes. They utilize some part of
meat, milk, draught and other by-products that are utilized at their homes and some of these
sell to the market. The findings of qualitative data confirmed the findings of quantitative data
16
that the major purposes of rearing livestock of majority of the respondents were domestic as
well as commercial.

CHAPTER-5
SUMMARY
Pakistan is an agriculture country. Its economy is based on the agriculture. livestock is the
subsector of agriculture that provides important role in the economy of the country including
Milk, Egg and meat production of animals which are valuable because of their skin, manure,
bones and wool.
29
Livestock is very important for the economy of a country. Education is the key role
for the human development Livestock in Pakistan comprises of cattle, sheep, goats,
horses, and camels.
The educational status of livestock farmers is very poor. About 39.20% farmers of
livestock are illiterate.
The educated farmers improve the quality and production of Milk, Meat and Egg
through their education.
Livestock gives numerous products including animal proteins in human diets food
,employment, income, organic manure means of transportation, storage of money to
poor and low standard farmers.
The aim of the study is to develop the livestock production such as milk, meat and
marketing, to provide veterinary services to farmers.
Pakistan has about 67% Milk production by buffalo a huge dairy animal then cow and
goat.
Factors affecting the production of milk is essential to increase the productivity, there
are two parameters lactation length and milk yield depends upon their hereditary
which is done by selection and non–hereditary by quality and quantity of feed, season
and management that affect the lactation periods and milk production.
In Pakistan about ninty percent of peoples in rural areas have livestock animal look
after marketing of animals and primary medication.
In the abundance of livestock animals in Punjab province the percentage of buffalo is
higher (65%).
In the abundance of livestock animals in Sindh province, the percentage of camels is
very high (30%).
The production of milk, meat type in Million Metric Ton & eggs in Billion. The
production of milk is 41.13, meat is 03.53, Egg poultry is 14.45.
