Reasons for under development of livestock sector in Nepal
- Malnutrition:- Especially in hills 90 % of feed is used to keep the animals just alive i.e. only 10 % productive feed
- No meaningful research in the field of c/s
- resource is thinly spread
- present animal health services are inadequate to meet country’s massive (large) livestock population
- large number of indigenous breed caused malnutrition and undernourishment
- ‘forage cultivation is almost unknown to a majority of farmers
