The livestock sector faces a range of complex and diverse challenges. One of the primary issues is the inadequate quality of animal feed, which often leads to poor health, reduced productivity, and an increased risk of disease among livestock. Additionally, animal health challenges, such as diseases and infections, remain major concerns that compromise animal welfare and diminish production outcomes. Productivity is further hindered by factors such as inefficient management, suboptimal genetic quality, and limited land availability.
Financial constraints and lack of access to funding resources pose significant obstacles for farmers, while insufficient knowledge and skills in modern livestock management slow down the industry’s progress. Moreover, limited access to profitable markets and inadequate marketing infrastructure are barriers to the growth of livestock businesses.
Lastly, unsustainable farming practices can negatively impact the surrounding environment, contributing to pollution and climate change. By addressing these pressing issues, the livestock sector can strive to implement effective solutions to enhance its sustainability and promote overall welfare in the industry.
