1 Policy: Increasing production and quality of livtock products to satisfy local demand and to boost rural income with the objective of making our farmers affluent to complete in local and international markets. Strategi : A B C D E F G H I J K Increasing livtock production through a sound breeding programme in view of enhancing the animal productivity. Making available high quality breeding materials and upgrading native herds to have higher production capacity. Encourage the development of alternative animal feed rourc as free grazing is not viable in certain areas at certain time periods. Encourage the private sector to improve marketing, procsing and value addition of livtock products through financial and fiscal incentiv. Safety improvement in livtock production chain. Strengthening veterinary servic and human rource improvement. Addrs Livtock and Environment related issu focusing conservation of genetic materials of native breeds and threatened breeds having favorable qualiti. Health management of livtock population for increased production. Established efficient disease surveillance and monitoring system. Farmer oriented rerach in line with national prioriti. Continuous review of livtock industry for policy formulation.
