    Abdullah Al Mamun
    This document summarizes an introductory animal science lecture on livestock production in Bangladesh. It outlines the objectives of understanding the scope and trends of livestock in Bangladesh's economy. It notes that Bangladesh has a large livestock population including over 240 million cattle and 261 million goats. While milk and meat production have increased, per capita availability still lags demands. Livestock also provides draft power for farming and manure for organic agriculture. Challenges include disease, lack of high quality feed, weak veterinary services, and unorganized markets. Recommendations are made to address yields gaps and improve genetic resources, services, training, and research.

    Scope of Livestock in Economy of Bangladesh, Livestock Census, Trends in Livestock


    Production

    Livestock population in Bangladesh:


    Livestock production performance has been more impressive than that of food grain
    production. Milk, egg, meat, and fish showed impressive growth. Livestock represents the
    only way in which the natural vegetation that covers large parts of Bangladesh can be
    converted in to products that can be used by man. It provides drought power and manure to
    the crop enterprise and this in turn provides feed and fodder. The value of output from the
    livestock sector was 1.54 % of the Total (GDP, 2017-18).

    Fortunately Bangladesh is blessed with a tremendous livestock wealth. The cattle population
    of Bangladesh is very large. According 2017-18, census the cattle population was estimated
    at 240.86 lakhs, 14.85 lakhs buffaloes, 34.68 lakhs sheep and 261.00 lakhs goats. The poultry
    population constituted a 3379.98 lakhs (Chickens- 2821.45 lakhs and Ducks-558.53 lakhs).

    Scope of Livestock production in Bangladesh:

    Milk production:
    It is a matter of sadness to mention that the per capita availability of milk to the Bangladeshi
    people is estimated at 158.19 ml per day in contrast to demands of 250 ml per day. It has
    been the only source of sufficient energy, minerals, vitamins and animal proteins.

    Meat production:
    Flesh foods are rich in protein and are good sources of vitamin B12 which is absent in plant
    food. The per capita availability of meat is 122.10 gm /day whereas the demand is 120
    gm/day. This is our achievement that we have 2.1 gm/day/head surplus of meat in
    Bangladesh.
    Broiler production in Bangladesh is recent rearing poultry for meat purposes started only in
    seventies, but the growth is significant. The poultry industry has achieved a spectacular
    growth during last thirty years.

    Demand, production, availability and deficiency of milk, meat and eggs (2017-18)

    Animal draught power:


    The bullock pair may be regarded as the backbone of Bangladeshi Agriculture. The
    horsepower obtained from 1 bullock is equivalent 0.75 H.P. Mechanization in Agriculture has
    been to the tune of 20% only whereas 80% of the agriculture/farm operations are done by
    bullock drawn .implements. It is estimated that 40,000 megawatts, of Energy (Traction
    power) is made available through the use of draft animals.

    Farm yard manure for organic farming:


    A minimum of 10-20 kg dung is obtained on an average from every cow or buffalo. This is
    an excellent source of F.Y.M. or compost manure. This is badly needed to improve the
    inherent soil fertility, and to have the extended manorial effect on the crops parts. Dung cakes
    are utilized as a source of fuel in rural parts of Bangladesh. Besides the cow dung, goat
    excreta and poultry dropping can also be better utilized for organic manure.

    Employment generation and Women Empowerment:


    Animal Husbandry & Dairying may be regarded as a source to create the employment in rural
    areas all-round the year. Many of the operations in Animal Husbandry and Poultry Farming

    Lecturer, Department of Animal Science
    Lecture 02 AGR 17th Batch

    can be done by the rural women. It is estimated that this sector has created on an average
    20% employment opportunity directly and 45% indirectly.

    Export opportunity:
    Bangladesh started export of day old chicks, beef (Bengal Meat) and feed to other countries
    during 2002-2007 and it is temporarily stopped due to AI. However if we control the AI, we
    will be in position to export not only the chicks and feed but also poultry meat.

    Increased demand for processed meat and processed food:


    The international restaurants (KFC, Macdonald, Nandos etc.) have been operating in
    Bangladesh since last 5 years. Besides, fast food shops are also increasing every year. There
    is a demand of hygienically slaughter meat in these shops

    Contribution of Livestock & Poultry in the National Economy of Bangladesh (2017-18)

    Present Trends of Livestock Production in Bangladesh:

    As a result of various dairy development programmers the country is having presently many
    processing plants and milk products factories. Various cattle improvement project have been-
    started in community blocks. The country has now intensive cattle development programs,
    cattle breeding farms, and frozen semen banks in operation.

    Major Problems of Livestock Productions in Bangladesh:

    1. Wide yields gap between the traditional and intensive and semi-intensive farming;
    2. Lack of availability of high-breed animals and also the lack of knowledge and
    technological knowledge how of maintaining the high-breed varieties;
    3. Animal Diseases are also among the most important constraints to livestock
    development in Bangladesh.
    4. Lack of organized market for selling farm produce is an important problem,
    particularly for the smallholders in Bangladesh;
    5. Inadequate coverage of animal health services;
    6. Low investment in livestock research and its poor management are matters of major
    concern also.

    Actions may be taken into consideration for the development of Livestock sector:

    1. Ensuring sustainable management of animal genetic resources, and emphasizing the


    localised nature of livestock production as well;
    2. Improving diagnostic capacity and veterinary clinical and extension services
    3. Ensuring feed and fodder at affordable prices to the small holder and poor farmers;
    4. Providing training to the farmers regarding improved animal farming;
    5. Managing the processing and value chain of livestock products efficiently, and
    ensuring better market linkages
    6. Providing long-term credit at affordable rate to the small-holder and poor farmers;
    7. Investing in research and development
