The Punjab government, under the leadership of Caretaker Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi, has recently enacted a ban on the slaughter of productive female animals across the province. This decision, announced during a meeting in Lahore, reflects a strategic move to preserve and enhance the livestock sector’s productivity.
Citing the importance of creating animal disease-free zones, Chief Minister Naqvi underscores the significance of safeguarding the health of livestock. This initiative aligns with global standards and ensures the quality of exported products, particularly targeting markets in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates.
The ban on slaughtering productive female animals not only protects valuable assets crucial for breeding and sustainability but also contributes to the establishment of a robust and thriving livestock industry. Chief Minister Naqvi’s vision extends beyond domestic concerns, as he urges the development of a prompt and effective plan to boost livestock exports. Recognizing the potential in international markets, this strategic approach aims to position Punjab as a key player in the global livestock trade, benefiting the province economically while maintaining a sustainable and responsible agricultural sector.
