Good article about Livestock in Pakistan. No doubt Dairy business is more economical for rural and urban areas. For dairy if we follow some instruction we grow well: Our Rural people think more No rather than few but good herd status. Specially in Rural areas people is reluctant to spend money on good feed .

People do focus on Balanced ration and breed improvement for animal efficiency. In Rural areas if we trained women in dairy sectors we own more benifits b/c dairy need deep observation and more care.
