Animal Husbandry – Overview

Active Villages Under the Animal Production Division are 80 and producing cow's milk, goat's milk, quail eggs, goat meat and pork, animal feed as well as honey. Under this, the main products including milk, eggs, meat as well as value-added products such as yoghurt, ice cream and pasteurised milk will be introduced to the market. It is hoped that this will increase the consumption of the rural population, which is currently at a low level, to meet their protein needs and empower them economically.
