Livestock
A Strong Support,
For Rural Families
Raising livestock provides an additional income source through the sale of milk, eggs, and other by-products, reducing financial dependency on crops alone.
Livestock products like milk, eggs, and meat offer essential nutrients, ensuring better health and nutrition for farming families, especially in rural areas.
Livestock manure naturally enriches the soil, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers and supporting long-term soil health and productivity.
Proper livestock management helps maintain environmental balance, ensuring a steady income while preserving natural resources for future farming.
