Stock in Pakistan:
The agricultural sector in Pakistan could fail without its livestock industry, which plays an
essential role in the country's economy. There are several animals in Pakistan, include sheep,
goats, chickens, and buffalo. Millions of people, particularly in rural regions, rely on livestock
production as a source of income and contribute to the country's gross domestic product (GDP).

rural regions, they are also used as draught animals for ploughing fields and pulling
vehicles.

 Mutton and goat meat are produced for their flesh, whereas sheep and goats are kept for
their wool. Small ruminant livestock production is widespread in suburban and rural
locations alike.

 roughly 11% of Pakistan's GDP comes from the livestock industry, which accounts for
roughly 60% of the total value of agriculture in the country.

 Live animals, meat, and leather items are only some of the livestock and their products
that Pakistan sells to other nations.

 Especially in less developed regions, the livestock industry's many subsectors including
herding, breeding, transport, and processing employ millions of people.

sourcing feed and fodder are just a few of the difficulties faced by the cattle industry.

and changes in how people eat have all caused a rise in demand for chicken and egg products.

production. It helps satisfy the rising demand for affordable meat while also being an
important source of animal protein in the nation.

optimize egg output and quality, the laid hens are housed in carefully controlled
conditions.
