Bajwa said the Punjab government was committed to providing employment to a maximum number of youth in the state. He said with the recruitment of new veterinary inspectors, the work of the animal husbandry department would be further accelerated and better services would be provided to animal keepers.

The minister said the animal husbandry department was providing elite breed and foreign semen/embryos which would significantly increase milk productivity.

He said the state government was committed to doubling the income of farmers and appealed to livestock owners/farmers that apart from agriculture, they must engage in allied occupations also like dairy farming, goat and pig rearing which would definitely increase their income.

Special chief secretary of the department Ravneet Kaur said the animal husbandry department was taking new initiatives for the improvement of the livestock so that the animal husbandry and dairy profession could be further developed in the state.
