Status and scope of small ruminats production in dry areas of Pakistan - Review -

Abstract

This paper describes small production systems in dry areas of Pakistan. Formal and informal surveys had identified that poor feed resources, as a result of harsh climatic conditions, is a major factor responsible for low sheep and goats production. In view of their recommendations, use of approaches like supplemental feeding and pasture production through an introduction of improved forage species in the country, are reviewed. The improvement in sheep production and associated socioeconomic benefits, are discussed.

Keywords: Dry Areas; Poor Nutrition; Low Sheep Production
