First consignment of high breed Brazilian cattle under SIFC reaches Pakistan

Consignment consists of nine different breeds, integrating both Pakistani and Brazilian varieties

In a significant boost to Pakistan’s agriculture and livestock sector, the first batch of high-breed cattle imported from Brazil has arrived in the country.

The importation, facilitated by the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC), is part of the Green Pakistan Livestock Initiative (GPLI) aimed at enhancing local livestock quality and productivity.

The arrival of these cattle marks a crucial step in the GPLI, with the goal of distributing genetically superior cattle to local farmers to meet the increasing demands for meat and milk.

The consignment consists of nine different breeds, integrating both Pakistani and Brazilian varieties, to improve the genetic pool of the local livestock population.

Upon arrival at Sialkot Airport, the cattle were transported to Okara, where they are undergoing a two-week quarantine period as a precautionary measure to ensure they are free from diseases.

The logistical feat was accomplished with a Boeing 747, chartered for this specific purpose, that traveled from Sao Paulo to Sialkot, covering a distance of 9,044 miles.

The journey included stopovers in Angola and Oman, setting a record for the longest livestock transport in history.

According to sources, the initiative is spearheaded by Fongrow, a subsidiary of the Fauji Foundation, which boasts a management team with extensive experience in livestock management.

  1. many inputs for dairy and meat sectors are imported such as soya bean, I suggest SIFC to look into growing local variety of soya bean.

  2. Any other corrupt generals tactic to loot whatever is left in Pakistan.

    These bastards corrupt generals don’t know anything abt war games but making porn videos of peoples and now indulging in any other business

  3. should have imported in bulk and distributed to local farmers whom r capable and knows all about it,too much cost by Airlift doesn’t make any economic sense,again a miscalculated project with 0 input by some faujees and incompetent guys

  4. who imported these animals ? how cam you help farmers ? how can we see and purchase animals for breeding purposes ?

  5. good step, now old breeds in Pakistan must be replaced with hybrids as we are purely relying upon freezian Australian jersey gir and sahiwal the Brazilian Girlando is one of the most excellent milk producer cow.
    excellent step

  6. it is just wastage of foreign exchange. the farmers will get nothing out of it. another way for corruption by Boot.
    we have our local breeds and we should improve their production and genetic merit through selection. we lost our local breed resources by cross breeding with Freisien and Jersey. Now farmers are facing problems regarding high nutritional requirements and reproduction failures.

  7. which bases & what breeds has been selected. Holstien , Frezien & Jersey breeds are famous for milk production & Brangus, beef master breeds are for meat purpose. Selection is done on pedigree, progeny & concerned animals performance if in milk animals are selected. For selection of animals economic traits analysis is imperative like at at maturity, calving interval, number of insemination per fruitful conception, Herd ave of milk in 305 days. The best milking animals blood is Canadian, UK, Dutch, US. Australian & Newzelanders are not best blood, poor pedigree record due to animals raising in ranges. Brazilian blood, something new
