Description
Summary:AbstractWe conducted a comprehensive review of livestock farming in Bangladesh to unveil current challenges and potential opportunities in this agriculture sector. Six challenges were selected as the major constraints to livestock farming in Bangladesh: climate change and natural hazards, poor veterinary care, breeding and management resources, marketing and international trade, and the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Solutions to these challenges (such as hazardous weather shelters, intensified surveillance of biosecurity for farms and markets, and non-government, government, and private organizations working together to educate and assist farmers) must target specific regions where the solutions would have the greatest effect.
