Bangladesh launched a cattle vaccination program across four districts on Friday. Fisheries and Livestock Adviser Farida Akhter spoke at the virtual event from Joynagar Government Primary School. The program aims to prevent lameness and other diseases that affect farm animals. Akhter stressed that stopping disease outbreaks remains a major challenge for cattle farmers. Officials hope the vaccines will keep animals healthy and productive.
Akhter told veterinary workers to provide better services to farmers across the country. She explained that vaccines protect animal health rather than just boost meat production or exports. The adviser wants medical staff to focus on disease prevention as their main goal. Local farmers need more support to maintain healthy livestock herds. Government officials must work harder to reach rural communities with veterinary care.
Milk farmers face serious financial problems because they cannot sell their products at fair prices. Akhter called for government-funded chilling centers at key locations nationwide. These facilities would help preserve milk quality and extend storage time for dairy products. The adviser asked private organizations to help build these important storage centers. Better infrastructure would improve income opportunities for dairy farmers.
Acting Ministry Secretary Tofazzal Hossain praised farmers for their important role in national food security. He said agricultural workers provide the foundation for economic growth across Bangladesh. Farmer cooperation determines whether government projects succeed or fail. Their production efforts ensure adequate food supplies for the entire population. Strong farming communities create stable economic conditions for future development.
