The meeting approved measures to enhance the cultivation of high-protein “alfalfa” fodder for livestock development, emphasizing the scientific drying and preservation of this nutrient-rich feed. Plans to provide seeds to farmers for cultivating “alfalfa” fodder and exploring various proposals for “Breed Insemination” to boost dairy development were also discussed. The CM directed the full functionality of the Food Research Center in Sargodha to augment the production of high-protein fodder, aiming to capitalize on the potential for increased beef and mutton exports. He highlighted discussions during his visit to the Kuwait, where the export of high-protein fodder and the demand for dry fodder from Kuwait were key points of consideration.

Emphasizing the necessity of modern technology and local expertise for livestock development, the CM Naqvi stressed the importance of attracting local farms to adopt model farming techniques.

Moreover, the CM chaired a meeting focusing on addressing traffic issues in Lahore.
