LAHORE (Daily Point) — Under the stewardship of Caretaker Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi, the Punjab government has recently imposed a ban on the slaughter of productive female animals throughout the province.

This decision, unveiled during a meeting in Lahore, signifies a deliberate effort to safeguard and improve the productivity of the livestock sector.

Emphasizing the creation of disease-free zones for animals, Chief Minister Naqvi highlights the importance of ensuring the health of livestock. This move is in alignment with global standards, with a particular focus on maintaining the quality of exported products destined for markets in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates.

The prohibition on slaughtering productive female animals not only shields valuable assets essential for breeding and sustainability but also contributes to the establishment of a resilient and flourishing livestock industry.

Chief Minister Naqvi’s vision extends beyond domestic considerations, urging the prompt development of an effective plan to bolster livestock exports.

Recognizing the potential in international markets, this strategic approach aims to position Punjab as a pivotal player in the global livestock trade, bringing economic benefits to the province while upholding a sustainable and responsible agricultural sector.
