March 18, 2024 (MLN): Pakistan's livestock sector is set to witness a significant boost as the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) has signed an agreement with Najd Gateway Holding Company of Saudi Arabia in the livestock sector.

According to the latest news post by the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, the agreement includes the cultivation of 5,000 acres of alfalfa cattle fodder, which is later exported.

This fodder serves as a major source of protein for livestock and is also a staple diet for dairy cattle, beef, horses, sheep, goats, and other domestic animals.

Pakistani soil has great potential for breeding high-quality livestock products with high nutritional and protein content.

This crop is cultivated in many countries around the world and is considered a fodder crop of great importance.
