The document summarizes the livestock and poultry sectors in Pakistan. It finds that livestock contributes 11.4% to Pakistan's GDP and provides livelihoods for over 8.5 million families. The main livestock populations are cattle, buffaloes, sheep, and goats. Poultry production has both traditional rural and intensive commercial systems. The dairy, meat, and poultry industries have potential for growth but face constraints like inadequate feed, disease outbreaks, and a outdated regulatory system. The livestock development policy aims to increase productivity and move towards more commercial, market-oriented, and value chain-based systems led by the private sector.
