Livestock development in Bangladesh: some reflections
1991
Haq, Shamsul
The statistics on livestock resources are scarce, therefore, it is difficult to establish the trends of growth in the animal numbers. According to the agricultural census of 1983-84, there are 134.63 million of livestock and poultry heads, while cattle range increased about 0.5% only during the period. The number of young stock of both cattle and buffaloes are relatively small, only 32 and 17 percent respectively, which may lead to the decline in their populations in the near future. Therefore, the herd dynamics of cattle and buffalo need detailed study to establish the pattern of population for future planning.
