2.  The important component of Pakistan’s economy
is agriculture sector,

cotton as well as sugarcane, even if during recent
day, 2011-12,they undergo progress.
 In 2011-12 growth rate of agriculture sector is
3.1%.
 Recently agriculture sector gives more profit.

3.  Throughout 2011-12, generally routine of crop
growing zone exhibit development of 3.1
percent due to development of agriculture
subsectors.
 The major development inside chief crop
through rice, cord plus sugarcane with 27.7%’
18.6% as well as 4.9% correspondingly.
 There are two seasons of crops in Pakistan.
 One is the ‘KHARIF’ as of April to June, with
harvest time October to December,
 Rice, sugarcane, cord, maize, mange, pulp,
bajra, jawar are kharif crops.

4.  Second is the ‘RABI’as of October
toDecember,with harvest time April to May,
 Whaet, Gram, Masoor, Tobacco, Barley ,
Mustard are Rabi crops.
 The water availability in 2011-12 is 10% less
than normal availability,but 13% higher than
kharif 2010 season.
 Pakistan has diversed form of livestock.
 It contribute 11.5%in GDP and 55%
contribution towards agricultural GDP

5.  The population of livestock is approximately
163.0 millions per heads according to
Economic Survey of Pakistan.
 It is increasing @ 4.2% in every year and
requirement of feed also increases,
 The major problem in Pakistan ,the shortage
of fodder’
 About 2% fodder production decreases in
every year,
 One season is winter and other is summer .

6.  Now a days,grown fodder crop is 10.3% and
total crop area is 22.6 million hectars.
 In Punjab,82.56% area is shared.
 2.31 million is area under fodder crops and
51.92 million tons fodder production per
year;
 Average production of fodder is 22.5 t ha1.
 The average production of fodder is too
low(15-30%)

7. CONTRIBUTION OF DIFFERENT SOURCES TO
FEED LIVESTOCK IN PAKISTAN.
Sources Contribution (%)
Fodder and crop residues 51
Forage/grazing 38
Cereal by-products 06
Post harvest grazing 03
Oilcakes, meals, animal protein 02

8.  The region by means of slight changes decrease since
2.6 million hectares during 1976 to1977 toward 2.31
million hectares during 2009-2010.
 Though, whole manufacture within the consequent
time enlarged since 45.10 toward 51.92 million tone.
 likewise production for every unit region too bigger
since 17.4 to 22.5t/ha.
.
