Over 115 lakh cattle and goats were bred
domestically to meet the market demand, Dr Md Abdul Halim, chief veterinary
officer at Central Veterinary Hospital (CVH), said.
He was providing a panaroma view of the
animal market at a programme amid general concerns over cattle supply in the
backdrop of a raging flood in the north.
Last year, around 105 lakh animals were sacrificed, Vet Halim said.
This year 44.57 lakh cattle and 71 lakh goats and sheep have been bred, he said. Over 11 lakh animals have been fattened in a scientific process.
A five-member veterinary team will be deployed to check animal health at each of the 24 cattle markets under both north and south city corporations in Dhaka, he said.
The teams will be equipped with steroid-detecting devices.
