Description

Byline: M. Ishaque, M. Ahmad , M. H. Baloch, M. Hussain, F. Nosheen and M. Azhar ABSTRACT: Herders depending on agro-grazing were evaluated during the year 2008 in Muzzafar Garh district of the Punjab province. All the herders were illiterate and landless and had their own herds. The average family size of the herders was 8 persons and the average herd size was about 50 animals. The herders had an average annual income of about Rs. 70,000 from livestock and their products. Agro-grazing was their major occupation and they fed their animals mainly on farmland (after crop harvest) and on the natural vegetation growing along rivers, canals, railway lines and roads. Non-cooperative attitude of the Forest/Irrigation departments and lack of forage were the major grazing problems of all the herders. The other grazing problems of the herders were livestock diseases, poor veterinary facilities and non-cooperative attitude of local farmers. Agro-grazing in the district can be promoted provided above problems of the herders are alleviated.
