Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb’s report also highlighted growth in other livestock populations, with cattle reaching 57.5 million and goats hitting 87 million.

Stable for five years, the populations of horses and mules remained at 0.4 million and 0.2 million, respectively. Camels, however, saw a slight increase from 1.1 to 1.2 million last year.

Animal husbandry is crucial for Pakistan’s rural economy, supporting over 8 million families.

Livestock contributes 60.84% to the agricultural sector and 14.63% to the GDP, growing 3.89% in 2023-24.

It forms the backbone of agricultural growth, contributing significantly to rural livelihoods and comprising 35% to 40% of rural family incomes.

The sector’s gross value addition rose to Rs 5,804 billion in 2023-24 from Rs 5,587 billion the previous year.

Livestock also plays a key role in Pakistan’s economy through net foreign exchange earnings, accounting for about 1.6% of total exports.

The government focuses on enhancing this sector for economic growth, food security, and poverty alleviation, promoting private sector development supported by public policy interventions.

Efforts include improving veterinary health, farming and breeding practices, and disease control to boost productivity.
