According to FAO nearly 30-40 % protein production in developing countries is lost due to livestock diseases. Various studies have shown that livestock /poultry diseases has been causing a sharp decline in livestock production and thereby depriving the nation with more than one billion rupees worth per annum. Furthermore, there is a critical shortage of fodder and pasture in most of the areas. Improvement in the fodder, pasture and animal health situations in Nepal would therefore have visible impact in the livestock production resulting in:
