A nationwide ban on oxen and bull slaughter in India could significantly disrupt agriculture, livestock rearing, and the economy by reducing milk supply and increasing reliance on imported milk products. Such a ban would lead to job losses in the beef and leather industries, increased prices for alternative meats, and possible health threats from unregulated stray cattle. Historical data indicates that livestock populations have increased without slaughter bans, suggesting that such a prohibition may not be necessary for growth in the livestock sector.
