Boosting lamb farming to meet protein demand stressed

RAJSHAHI, Jan 18 (BSS): Boosting lamb farming can be the best way of meeting the existing demands of animal protein besides improving living and livelihood conditions of the people, particularly the marginalised and ethnic minorities, in the region.
Promotion of commercial sheep farming can also be an effective means of exploring the vast opportunity to boost woolen fiber and production of more meat and milk.
Academics and experts made the observation while distributing certificates among participants of a two-day intensive lamb farmers training here Wednesday afternoon.
On behalf of the 'Up scaling of Small Scale Sheep Rearing Model for Lamb Production in Barind area' project, the Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences in Rajshahi University organised the training at its Narkelbaria campus supported by Krishi Gobeshona Foundation (KGF).
