INTRODUCTION
Livestock raising is the centuries old occupation of the people residing in Balochistan
province. Balochistan is the largest province and makes about 44% of the total
geographical area of the country with a landmass of 3,47,190 sq. km. Most of the area
is rangelands with only 5% arable. Livestock is one of the major important sectors
of the Province housing about 20% of the national stock. In Balochistan, in-spite of
ecological limitations and being arid and semi-arid province. The Livestock contributes
55% of Agriculture value added, 11.4% of National GDP of Pakistan and more than
47% in the economy of Balochistan. 93% area of the province comprises
rangelands out of which just 28% are considered fair to good for livestock
production. Hence, barring some portions of upper and lower highlands in North
Eastern part of the province having best ranges of the province which support 76% of
the livestock, the southern plains with big land mass have the poorest ranges support
only 24% of the livestock population. This has resulted that most of the land surface area
does not even support rearing of livestock round the year thus necessitating seasonal
migration of nomadic and semi-nomadic graziers to find feed for their livestock
comprising mostly sheep and goats and lesser number of cattle and camels.
Province is the cradle of many precious livestock breeds and livestock is the part of
the socio-cultural and socioeconomic life of its inhabitants. The biodiversity of the
provincial animal genetic resources play very pivotal role in the economy of the
province and each breed has its own characteristics and socioeconomic
importance in poverty reduction and food security. .
The population of small ruminants in Balochistan is still a significant portion of the total
population of sheep i.e.12, 804,217 (48 %) and goats- 11,784,711 (22 %) of the country
according to latest livestock census of 2006 where sheep are 46% portion in the entire
sheep population of the country. There are a number of factors, which constrain the
productivity of animals in the province, i.e. diseases, scarcity of vegetation on ranges and
poor marketing facilities. The policies relating to livestock agriculture are not always
friendly. No institution has been made for the livestock farmers, where either they may be
trained according to the modern change or their experience shared with the urban
experts. One of the most important constraints in production has been long lasting
drought that caused feed scarcity. This scarcity badly affected fertility, weight gain of
WEB-DOCUMENT 2015

animals and caused diseases and production losses. It also increased cost of production
and decreased breeder’s interest.
Meat is the major product of the local livestock breeds and may be turned as the largest
entrepreneur of the livestock industry in the province. Halal food especially the meat and
its increasing demand in Muslim countries, Balochistan possesses good prospects of
entering into the trade. With global demand for livestock products, which is rising rapidly?
Brief History:
In the year 1884 Gumbaz (Chutali Shrif) tehsil Duki an area of Balochistan, first Veterinary
Unit was established by the British Empire through the experts of Ghilzai and Katiwar tribes of
the then India for providing animal health facilities to equines of British Army. Thereafter,
Veterinary Units / Dispensaries were established at Barkhan, Duki and Pishin in 1904, the
name of the Department was Civil Veterinary Department. Which was administered through
Director residing at Bombay (India) with Deputy Director for Sindh and Balochistan at
Karachi. At that time Mr.Vacha was working as Deputy Director of the Department. There
were only 12 Civil Veterinary Hospitals (CVH) and 9 Civil Veterinary Dispensaries, looking
after mainly the animal units of British Army only (Mules, Horses and Donkeys). These CVHs
were at Quetta, Pishin, Zhob, Muslim Bagh (Hindu Bagh) Loralai, Barkhan, Duki, Sibi, Sohbat
Pur, Naseerabad, (Usta Muhammad), Jhat Pat and Chaghi (Nushki) districts only. All the
Balochistan State Unions Kalat, Kharan, Mekran and Lasbela were without any government
Veterinary Hospital or Dispensary. However, small units were established at Mastung, Kalat
and Dhadar for the studs of Khan-e-Kalat. In 1947 the budget of the department was Rs.
6,000/-.
Rapid development was started with the formation of one unit in 1958, and implementation
of 1st five-year plan for bringing the area of Balochistan at par with rest of the country. During
1st five-year plan, poultry, sheep, goats and cattle farms were established. Also, disease
diagnostic facility and animal health coverage was started to facilitate private flock owners /
farmers. As a result of these developments the number of livestock increased rapidly.
In 1970 when Balochistan got the status of province, the livestock department was comprised
over the following:-
Directorate of Animal Husbandry
32 Veterinary Hospitals and one A.I Centre
250 Veterinary Dispensaries
WEB-DOCUMENT 2015
Page 6 of 74
The name of the Department was remained as “Animal Husbandry Department” from
1955-56 to 1975-76.
In the year 1976-77 the post of Director was up-grated to Secretary Cum Director General, the
name of the Department was also changed as Livestock Department, and Dr. Abdul
Hamid Babar (late) became the first Secretary Cum Director General.
The Livestock Sector was comprehended by the Government. It was brought into light that
most of the rural population raised the livestock on ranges and earn their livelihood. From
1981-82 to 1985 Balochistan Livestock Department Project (ADB Loan) remained in
execution, with the aim to increase livestock production. One thousand (1000) Friesian Cattle
were imported from Netherlands to increase the milk production. Breeding Program was
initiated in non-descript low milk producer cows for high milk production. Veterinary
Research Institute was established for the production of Vaccines. Feed Mill was also
established.
In the year 1992 Livestock Development Project (EEC grant) was started The main activities
were sheep and goat production through Rangeland Development, Irrigation structure, lamb
/ kid fattening and continuation of Artificial Insemination in cattle. Directorate of Planning
Development was established. A medium type slaughter-house was also established. The
project was ended in December, 1998.
Feed Resources Development Project was started in the year 1992-93 and ended in the year
1996-97. A feed Resources laboratory was established to analyze the different feed
throughout the province. Farmers were provided awareness about the various bushes and
plants which have high nutritive value. Farmers were also demonstrated feed usage /
preparation.
In the year 1994-95 the name of the department was changed as Livestock and Dairy
Development Department, Balochistan to match the name of the department with
other provinces.
The issue of raising livestock for human benefit fosters the concern of the relationship
between humans and animals, in terms of the status of animals and obligations of
people. Animal welfare is the viewpoint that animals under human care should be treated in
such a way that they do not suffer unnecessarily. What is ‘unnecessary’ suffering may vary.
Generally, though, the animal welfare perspective is based on an interpretation of scientific
research on farming practices. By contrast, animal rights are the viewpoint that using animals
for human benefit is, by its nature, generally exploitation, regardless of the farming practices

used. Animal rights activists are consistent with the animal welfare perspective to eat meat,
depending on production processes.
Chapter – 2 Economic Importance
of Livestock

The Livestock
‘Livestock’ are defined, as the production of food, fiber and/or labor. The economic value of
livestock includes:
Meat
The production of a useful form of dietary protein and energy
Dairy products
Mammalian livestock can be used as a source of milk, which can in turn easily be processed
into other dairy products, such as yogurt, cheese, butter, ice cream, kefir, and kumis. Using
livestock for this purpose can often yield several times the food energy of slaughtering the
animal outright.
Fiber
Livestock produce a range of fiber/textiles. For example, sheep and goats produce wool and
mohair; cows and sheep skins can be made into leather and bones, hooves and horns of
livestock can be used.
Fertilizer
Manure can be spread on fields to increase crop yields. This is an important reason why
historically, plant and animal domestication have been intimately linked. Manure is also used
to make plaster for walls and floors, and can be used as a fuel for fires. The blood and bone of
animals are also used as fertilizer.
Labor
Animals such as horses, donkey, and yaks can be used for mechanical energy. Prior to steam
power, livestock were the only available source of non-human labor. They are still used for
this purpose in many places of the world, including ploughing fields, transporting goods,
and military functions.
Land management
The grazing of livestock is sometimes used as a way to control weeds and undergrowth. For
example, in areas prone to wild fires, goats and sheep are set to graze on dry scrub which
removes combustible material and reduces the risk of fires.

Sheep Breeds of Balochistan
Sheep belong to the suborder Ruminantia of the order Artiodactyla of genus Ovis in the
family Bovidae. Sheep, are grazing mammals that may be either wild or domesticated; the
domesticated varieties are the most widely distributed Sheep were probably domesticated
about 11,000 years ago in northern Iraq. Goats belong to the family Bovidae. They make up
the genus Capra. The bezoar goat is classified as Capra aegagrus, and the domestic goats as
Capra hircus. Goat, common name for any of eight species of cloven-hoofed, horned
mammals closely related to the sheep

Facts of Sheep and Goat Milk
The milk obtained from Sheep Goat is widely consumed throughout the Tropics. Sheep and
Goat’s milk is a valuable source of amino acids is rich in histidine, aspartic acid and tyrosine
compared with cow’s milk and has a larger amount of non-protein nitrogen. The sodium, iron
and copper contents of goat’s milk are relatively high. Goat’s milk has a higher content of
vitamin A, nicotinic acid, choline and inositol compared with cow’s milk, but lower amounts
of vitamin B6 and ascorbic acid (Vit-C).

The economic role of Sheep and goat
1. They remarkable adaptation under the tropical condition
2. They can perform better in humid and dry regions
3. They can be maintained in range lands hilly tracts and places where larger livestock
cannot be managed
4. Their feeding habits allow them to perform well on wide varieties of grasses, weeds,
leaves, branches of bushes and trees
5. Women and children can look after them well because of their small size and gentle
behavior
6. Goats have shorter gestation period, which enable them to reproduce more efficiently
WEB-DOCUMENT 2015
Page 21 of 74
7. Goats are important also because of their contribution to special quality of skins
MOHAIR fiber and by products such as blood and bone meal
8. Manure of Sheep and Goat is a useful product with commercial value and is used in
many parts of the Tropics. The manure has a higher content of nitrogen and
phosphoric acid than that of either cows or buffaloes. Also the urine is rich in nitrogen
and potassium. In many Asian countries including Pakistan goat manure fetches a
good price
Sheep and Goat Market in Balochistan
Sheep and goat are marketed at “PERI” mainly located in big towns. Peri is held on daily basis,
where sheep and goat are sold on bargaining system. Facilities of livestock services at Peri are
very primitive. No meat grading exists. Butcher sold the mutton according to prices fixed by
Government but often these rates were not followed.

ZOONOTIC DISEASES
AVIAN INFLUENZA
Avian influenza, or "bird flu", is a contagious disease of birds caused by viruses that
normally infect only birds. While all bird species are thought to be susceptible to infection.
Disease in birds has two forms. The first causes mild illness, sometimes expressed only as
ruffled feathers or reduced egg production. The second form known as highly pathogenic
avian influenza. This form is extremely contagious in birds and rapidly fatal, with a
mortality approaching 100%. Birds can die on the same day that symptoms first appear.
MODE OF TRANSMISSION
1. Movement of contaminated vehicles, equipment, feed, cages etc. from one farm to
another can carry the virus.
2. Technical personnel visiting various poultry farms in a day consecutively without
changing cloths could be a source of spread.
3. Droppings from infected wild birds can introduce the virus to backyard as well as
commercial poultry flocks.
4. “Wet Markets” where live birds are sold are an important source of spread of
infection. In these markets, birds caught or bought are placed in cages under stress
and in close proximity which serve as an ideal place of spread of infection.
5. Domestic/backyard poultry is at continuous risk as it frequently comes in contact
with wild birds sometimes even to the level of sharing the water sources etc.
6. Migratory waterfowl are the natural reservoir of bird flu viruses and these birds are
also most resistant to it. They can carry the virus over great distances.
7. Scavenger animals or birds can play a part in the spread of infection.
8. Movement of live infected birds from one place to another can spread the virus.
9. Mechanical vectors like rodents, flies and other insects can also carry the virus
from one place to another.
10. Non effective poor quality vaccination.
11. Ability of virus to increase its pathogenicity if allowed to circulate in poultry
populations.
12. Climatic conditions also play a part as highly pathogenic viruses can survive for long
periods in the environment especially when temperatures are low.
WEB-DOCUMENT 2015

SIGN OF DISEASE IN ANIMALS
The disease presents following symptoms.
1. Respiratory distress
2. Labored breathing
3. Diarrhea
4. Swollen head
5. Eye discharge
6. Cyanosis and
7. Swelling of wattles and combs
8. Subcutaneous hemorrhages on un-feathered skin/cyanosis of shank and toe.
9. In layer flock marked decline in egg production
SIGNS IN HUMAN BEINGS
1. Respiratory distress
2. Pneumonia
3. Multi-organ failure
PREVENTION AND CONTROL MEASURES IN POULTRY
1. Proper vaccination schedule against all common infectious diseases for commercial
as well as domestic poultry.
2. The birds should be properly vaccinated against H7 and H9 subtypes of influenza
Viruses already reported from Pakistan.
3. In the face of outbreak if rapid destruction (“culling” or “stamping out”) cannot be
carried due to economic reasons, vaccination is first option to check the infection
spread.

Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF)
Virus Description
It is “Crimean Congo Virus” and it spread through the ticks (HYOLOMMA MARGINATUM)
found on the hairs and skin of sheep and goat and this virus is spread by biting of the ticks
to the infected animal or by the biting of infected ticks to the animals. The spread only
during summer to autumn seasonal gap. When infected ticks bite to the animal or human
being, it is present in the blood for 5-7 days. The virus has a vertical transmission that is
transmits to eggs or semen of the animal too. Tick life cycle has four stages and it spread
from human to human through contact, sputum, blood or any wound or injection.
Control
This virus can only be controlled when the life cycle of the ticks is broken. And it is only
possible by the spraying / dipping of the Ectoparasite.
Note: This virus is not transmitted to the human being by eating of meat or drinking of
milk. But several measures have to be adopted, especially for the butchers.
Preventive measures
1. Butchers must have not any cut or wound on their hands while slaughtering.
2. Butchers while slaughtering must avoid the intact of blood to the human body.
3. Butchers while slaughtering must wear gloves and masks to prevent transmission of
virus from animals to butchers.
4. Animals only be slaughtered at Slaughterhouse.
5. In slaughterhouse, the bleach water must be used for the blood.
6. Lime must be sprinkled in the slaughterhouse.
7. Never kill the tick with hand and for killing of tick, it must be dipped in kerosene oil.
8. Dogs must be killed in the surroundings of the slaughterhouse.
9. As there is no evidence of Congo Virus in poultry, but poultry butchers must also
follow the same practices as of animal’s butchers. They also must wear the gloves
and masks during the slaughtering of birds.
10. Before selling of meat, the slaughtered animal must be hanged for 5-6 hours and
then it is sale out.

MIGRATORY ROUTES OF LIVESTOCK
North-South migratory routes of nomads and transhumant
Generally, the Loralai ranges are a focal point for the autumn movements of animals
moving south and south-east from the Afghan border and the northern Zhob ranges
(Musa Khel areas) to the west, animals move southwards from Muslim Bagh and Killa
Saifullah through the Shangloona To the east, in Zhob, animals come directly to Musa Khel
and move down through Lakabund and Murgha Kibzai

5. Sulaiman ranges Loralai, Killa Saifullah
East-West migratory routes of nomads and transhumant
Brahvi nomads and transhumants follow west-east routes. Their winter areas are in Sibi
and Kachhi plains: the main sites are Bibi Nani, Gorgtang, Sunni, Gandawa, Khost and
Bhag. The Kacchi plains constitute a very specific eco-system, characterized by low
altitudes, excessive heat in summer and scarcity of water. Most of the water received in
Kacchi derives from six main river courses, which originate in the bordering plateau areas
(Nari, Bolan, SukIeji, Mula, Lehi and Chattar). Summer quarters for most groups are spread
in Nushki and Kalat areas (in the latter, the main sites are Mangocher and Johan). Other
groups spend summer in areas, such as Dasht (in Mastung district), Panjpai and Spin Karez
(near Quetta), and winter around Sibi. From Kalat, about 50 % of the total local sheep and
goat population move eastwards into the Kacchi plains in winter.

EARLY WARNING OF DROUGHT IN THE PROVINCE
Due to very little rainfall and even no precipitation throughout Monsoon Season during
the year. PDMA Balochistan has assessed that almost 29 district of the province can be
under a threat of coming drought if province will not receive rainfalls during January to
March. Livestock Farmers / raisers are not been able to feed their livestock properly on the
ranges due to non-availability of enough grazing grasses and bushes Due to no
precipitation the vegetation growth become scanty. These ranges are highly dependent
on seasonal rains. Pastoral communities in arid and semi-arid regions always live with the
expectation of drought. They continue to suffer, and possibly increasingly suffer,
catastrophic losses of livestock during drought. Livestock is a major source of income for
these people and they are extremely dependent on it. Drought management and
mitigation will be important for the future sustainability of pastoral livelihoods. In drought
pastoral households sell animals in order to buy staple animal feed; this causes a fall in the
prices substantially. The low value represents loss of a key capital asset to the seller
household, and a common reason for household descent into poverty. Distress sales
would be the same as estimated mortality losses. Helping them out of poverty will in the
future carry a significant cost.
Livestock are the poor people’s mobile automated teller machines (ATM). In good times
people build up their herds and in bad times they sell livestock to generate cash. Every
animal we save is a productive asset that poor families can use to rebuild their lives. The
main priority – and challenge – is to enable the herds to rebuild quickly during the next
breeding season. It is also imperative to get medicines to animals that have fallen weak or
sick because of the catastrophe
Livestock feed is their most urgent need, to preserve their remaining livestock and in
addition to this animal health coverage is most vital for curative and maintenance of
emaciated animals. Concentrates and wheat straw are preferred to roughages for drought
feeding because of higher nutrient density and ease of transport and storage.
Supplementary feeding is mandatory before animals have lost more than 15% of their
normal mature body weight due to less feed and water intake during the drought
conditions. The objective of drought feeding is often aimed at survival or maintenance.
Sheep and goats will normally be fed just sufficient feed to maintain their weight in a
drought condition. Protein-rich concentrates, enough to satisfy about half of the animals’
maintenance requirements, should be given provided that there is still some poor quality
WEB-DOCUMENT 2015
Page 50 of 74
vegetation available. If the drought worsens, the complete maintenance requirement will
have to be fed by means of supplementary feed. If the protein content of the available
concentrate is low, it may be necessary to feed a protein supplement such as urea.
Feeding should start well before sheep/goats become weak. It may take some time before
they become accustomed to a new feed supplement. If animals have lost too much
condition before feeding has begun, it may be hard to lift their live weight back to
desirable levels.
The Animal Feed consisting over Concentrate Ration and Wheat Straw will be provided to
sheep and goat as maintenance ration to coup the drought condition and be able to
withstand in breeding season. The Veterinary Camps will be established in the drought
affected pockets through mobile veterinary vans and maximum animals will be cater for
treatment to avert further livestock losses. The Emergency Relief Assistance Program will
be consist over the following:
1. Provision of Concentrate and Wheat Straw Ration for a period of three
months
2. Animal Health Coverage (Veterinary Support)
Mal Nutrition is prevailing due to heavy drought non-availability of fodder in the drought
affected areas leads to anorexia and emaciation amongst the small ruminants; as a result
the reproductive efficiency decreases and even female are failed in conception. The feed
assistance will maintain the animal health and their reproductive efficiency.
Veterinary support to all animals of drought affected areas is most significant for avoiding
any major outbreak. The Weak health may lead to worm infestation (lung worms, liver
fluke, stomach worm, mange, mites and ticks); Anthelmintic are therefore mostly essential
in addition the antibiotics will also be given to the animals.

The Sibi Horse & Cattle Show
Sibi, The Hot Bowl of Asia lies 160 km away
from Quetta valley to the south east. This
historic Bolan Pass connects these two leading
cities of Balochistan province. The name Sibi
derived from word sewi (a Hindu lady of Sewa
Race) which is still popular and native name of
the city being used by people.
Sibi Mela has historical background, the winter
and spring seasons of Sibi always attracted
inhabitants from colder parts of the province.
Hence, 15th Century, this town has been the convention place for tribal leaders from all areas
of the province. With the ceremonies goings on, they use to organize market for sale and
purchase of their animals. Gradually it gets profile into an annual event with enormous gala.
When British Rulers occupied the territory, they realized the importance of this tradition. To
remain nimble, they functionalized the annual traditional Darbar or meeting, combining it
with a ‘Mela” (fair) where thousands of Baluchi tribesmen gathered along with their animals
in mid-February. Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah also honored this annual event and
addressed the annual Sibi Darbar in 1948. This tradition still carries on and every year during
February. The salient features of this “Mela” are horse and cattle and cultural shows. The
mela is characterized by a meeting of a stream of the livestock farmers, breeders, and
veterinary professionals. They congregate in the mid February along with their cattle/animals
from Balochistan, Sindh and Punjab to participate in this grand event. The event includes
cavalcade of camels, cows, sheep, goat, horses and cattle, folk cultural shows, exhibitions
reflecting the local traditions, tent pegging, animal markets for selling and purchasing cattle,
tribal costumes, handicraft etc. The Sibi Mela generates economic activity for the province.
Before leaving Sibi for another season, they would make purchases on a large scale in return
for livestock, which would be of great benefit for the livestock farmers and traders.
Sibi Mela is not confined for the sake of amusement; the major advantage is that this Mela
results in the interbreeding of Bhag Nari cattle and other species resulting in out crossing
and improving the genetic potential of animals throughout the country. People trade cattle
at sibi mela because of many advantages, as they can purchase at a reasonable price and a
wide range of livestock species are available at one place.

Thousands of the livestock farmers raise their animals for their lively hood during the year.
The Horse and cattle show Sibi provides them a vast market not only for selling but also
getting awards for their outstanding animals. They feel pride when their animal got first, 2nd
and 3rd position. In the sphere of practical involvement and as an official icon, Livestock and
Dairy Development Department Balochistan have the central position in Mela’s Activities.
The source of economic activity of the region is Bhagnari Cattle. These cattle are the heaviest
draught breed of Pakistan. It has natural ability not only to resist and survive in harsh climatic
conditions of the region but also to maintain on poor feeding and husbandry practices. The
inhabitants of the region are directly or indirectly related to this cattle breed. It is an
unearthed grey gold which has shown significant potential. Progressive farmers
affectionately rear this breed to participate in the Mela because it bring pride, prestige and
wealth for them. Unfortunately, prizes amount given for Bhagnari cattle competition by the
Livestock & Dairy Development department are very minimum and disgracing with need.
The subsidy which is provided to the livestock farmer for rearing the cattle for wining award
is also very minimum which should be revised and enhanced according the increasing rates
of feeding. This minimum amount of award and subsidy boost up the courage and motivate
them to grow their animals for the competition. For keeping this motivation it is highly
recommended that the amount of subsidy and awards needs to be enhanced. During the
Mela, farmers sale their show animals at premium prices amounting to millions of rupees.
This Mela is especially for the promotion of livestock of the province.
The Livestock & Dairy Development Department plays a key role in organizing the Historic
and famous Sibi Mela. The Department has allotted a piece of land out of 500 acres of Beef
Production Research Centre Sibi in the year 1959 for the purpose of establishing Stadium,
Football ground, Hockey ground and for sheds where animal are kept during the course of
Mela so that the activities of the Sibi Mela can be further expanded. The Historic Sibi Mela
had been organizing through Livestock & Dairy Development Department Balochistan since
many decades. Due to its Name, “Horse and Cattle Show Sibi”the Livestock & Dairy
Development Department has a key role in organizing the Mela in its full swing. The entire
activities of the Sibi Mela had been managed in the past very efficiently, professionally and
competently in an economical manner keeping in view the resources of the provincial
government.
Food security is the major concern of any nation in which animal protein has a key role.
Livestock & Dairy Development Department has an important role in improving livestock in
the province hence producing, Milk, meat, eggs and poultry. The provision of the animal

Forward Approach
The Strategy for forward approach and improvement of Livestock Sector Balochistan is
encompasses over following main disciplines:
1. Disease Control
2. Veterinary Education
3. Research
4. New Interventions
Disease Control
Disease Control is the major responsibility of the Livestock & Dairy Development Department.
In fact it is the responsibility of the Provincial Government to establish an efficient Veterinary
Services in the province to Address Animal Health Issues, Food Borne Diseases, animal
welfare and Zoonotic Diseases. Veterinary Services are needed Physical and Financial
Resources, Technical Authority with capability. Veterinarians are not primarily concerned
with the increase in production by treating the sick animals and poultry but their important
job is to ensure quality (residue free) edible animal products such as milk, meat and eggs to
the public The Veterinary Services should be independent and immune from political
pressure from all sources. The main activities of the Veterinary Services are Animal Disease
Diagnosis, Treatment, Prevention, Prophylactic-Vaccination, Inspection of meat and
Production of Biologics. These relate to provision of preventive and curative animal health
coverage in the province. Although a network of district Veterinary Hospital and
Dispensaries exist in the province however, Regional Disease Diagnostic Laboratories are still
lacking with respect of protocols of operational funds and mandatory equipment. Veterinary
Hospitals of Divisional Headquarter should be upgraded with provision of better facilities and
equipment to widen the scope of diagnosis and prevention of disease control. Facilities of
Zoonotic disease such as Congo Heamorrhagic Fever, Avian Influenza should also be
addressed separately at least at Divisional level. Certain Food Borne Disease which come
from the product of the animals should be addressed separately.
The Strategy is to ensure the Animal Health as well as to protect the human beings from
Zoonotic Diseases and Food Borne Diseases.
The Action Plan is to Strengthen and widen the scope of Animal Disease Diagnosation at
least at District and Divisional Headquarter through: Provision of latest Equipment for diagnosation and treatment

Control of Trans Boundary Animal Diseases. The formal and informal trade from
neighboring countries with improper quarantine be addressed at provincial level
and Necessary policies be adopted in order to minimize the risk of Trans boundary
Animal Diseases.
Veterinary Education
Education in any field plays the major role in development. Our Veterinarian are well trained
but our farmer is not as trained as it should be. Farmer do not understand the disease its
prevention, control and even he is not much aware about vaccination. Animal Sciences
Institute is functioning at Provincial and catering only in-service training to Stock Assistants
and Veterinary Compounders.
The Strategy is to widen the scope of veterinary education through initializing vocational
and farmers training.
The Action Plan
To strengthen the existing Animal Sciences Institute Quetta.
To Establish Veterinary Training Institute at Divisional Headquarters for starting
vocational and farmer training and awareness programs. The latest knowledge
pertaining to disease control, livestock farming and livestock products should be
disseminated amongst livestock community.

poultry, sheep and goat farming, management, Dairy Technology, wool collection
and sorting, hide & skin collection, preservation and marketing.
Women Training in rural poultry farming.

Veterinary Research
Livestock & Dairy Development Department had established Vaccine Production Laboratory
in the year, 1984 under the Balochistan Livestock Development Project with the financial
assistance of Asian Development Bank. In May, 2005 the Veterinary Research Institute was
converted in to “Centre of Advance Studies in Vaccinology and Biotechnology (CASVAB)”
and the entire services were handed over to the University of Balochistan, on the
recommendation of Higher Education Commission to the Governor of Balochistan. The
conversion of VRI into CASVAB has handicapped for Livestock & Dairy Development
Department Balochistan in many aspects; with the growth of the livestock census it is
important that emergent diseases should be addressed at provincial level by catering more
pathogens into vaccinology to produce new vaccine for the prevention against the
threatening diseases. The department has a vast potential in the field of veterinary
education and many personnel are Masters in veterinary profession.
The Strategy is to establish “Livestock Research Institute/Livestock Vaccine Production
Laboratory” where the potential of highly qualified personnel could be utilized for the
betterment of the livestock in various aspects, like vaccine production, genetic potential and
Breed improvement of the native breeds. In Veterinary Medical Profession the Research
Institute is like the Backbone of the body. Livestock Department badly needs a well-
established Livestock Research Institute to provide a platform for new researchers to explore
the new horizons through their knowledge and skills.
The Action Plan
To Establish “Livestock Research Institute/Livestock Vaccine Production Laboratory”
at Quetta.
To Establish Semen Production Unit at Sibi
To Strengthen Semen Production Unit Quetta
To Strengthen AI Centers in the Province for Breed improvement for high Milk
Production.
