KARACHI: The government should take long-term measures to control the beef prices and slaughtering of female animals.
This was stated by FPPCI Standing Committee for Livestock Senior Vice President Shaukat Mukhtar, while talking to media. He said that a comprehensive strategy for female animals slaughtering can play a vital role to strengthen the industry. It is necessary to define the different slots for the animal slaughtering with the proper specification of a animal, he said.
Shaukat Mukhtar said, “Average female animal has six recycling or lactation periods during the life. If it has used for slaughtering before the completion of the cycles it is a loss in term of breeding and milk production that ultimately brings price hike for consumers.”
