21. Major diseases in Livestock
• Large animals Small ruminants
– FMD - PPR
– Anthrax - Goatpox
– BQ -parasites
– Mastitis - Enterotoximia
– HS
• Poultry
– ND
– IBD
– AI
– Coccidiosis
23. Opportunities
• Large number of animal population
• Integrated agricultural farming
• Fertile land
• Transformation from subsistence to
commercial farming
• Due to awareness and education, animal
protein consumption increasing
24. Challenges
• High prevalence of economically important
livestock and poultry diseases
• Low productivity of farm animals
• Severe scarcity of livestock and poultry vaccines
• Unnecessary uses of Antibiotics and hormones
• Maintain of Sanitary and Phytosanitary standards
(SPS )
• Decreasing of grazing land
• Scarcity of feeds and fodder
• Competition between human and animal feeds
25. Challenges
• Disorganized marketing system of livestock and
products
• Climatic change and environmental pollution
• Lack of quality slaughter facilities
• Lack of Quality livestock breeds
• Unskilled human resources
• Lack of financial support and insurance
• Indiscriminate breeding
• Lack of biosecurity and biosafety
• Transboundary diseases
26. Way forward
• Forging partnership with ILRI for livestock research and
development in Bangladesh specially in the areas of
– Animal breeding and genetics
– Animal production, Feed and Fodder research
– Animal Health, Food safety and Zoonotic Diseases
– Climate resilient livestock production
– Livestock value chain development
– Food safety
– Women integration in livestock sector
– Strong Networking for cooperation, surveillance
– Capacity Development
27. Conclusion
• Increasing population, urbanization and disposable income
in developing countries are fuelling a strong growth in
demand for animal products.
• A gradual substitution of cereals and other basic foods by
meat in the diets of developing countries
• Make the sector catalytic the stimulating the rural
economics needs policy support to small-scale producers
• Building of institutional and infrastructural capacities to
allow small-scale producers to compete and integrate
successfully within the developing industry
• Conducive environment is need in private sector
investment
• Effective reduction of environmental, animal and human
health threats
