LAHORE: The Punjab caretaker government has decided to export high-protein fodder to Kuwait.

The government also approved measures to enhance the cultivation of high-protein “alfalfa” fodder for livestock development, emphasising the scientific drying and preservation of this nutrient-rich feed.

Caretaker Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi says: “Plans to provide seeds to farmers for cultivating alfalfa fodder and exploring various proposals for breed insemination to boost dairy development were also discussed.”

He said the Food Research Centre in Sargodha should be made fully functional to increase production of fodder to capitalise on the potential for increased beef and mutton exports.
