Resumen
Descripción
Pakistan has a large livestock population, contributing with 11.2 percent of Pakistan’s gross domestic product (GDP). However, it has not been able to maximize its potential. The country exports to the Gulf countries and some Southeast Asian countries, and it has great potential to increase meat exports to many other countries such as China and other south-eastern countries. However, specific sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) conditions, such as animal disease control, are needed to meet trade requirements. Animal identification and traceability systems are increasingly used in many countries around the world to support livestock production, animal health, trade and veterinary public health, as they are good indicators of improved food safety and quality control.
