From fisher­men to livest­ock farmer­s, the focus must be on meetin­g the demand­s of the indust­ryVast under-utilisation has kept the country’s livestock sector far below its rich and deserved potential. Pakistan can reap higher profits if it only turned to more modern but unconventional methods as opposed to traditional facilities in this sector. From fishermen to livestock farmers, the focus must be on meeting the demands of the industry. From a total yield of 15.5kg/ha, Pakistan could be aiming for 100kg/ha through stocking of hatchery-raised seeds and other useful methods. Pakistan has a decent population of farm animals — consisting of 45 million buffaloes and cattle, 24.24 million sheep and 49 million goats.
