Over the past time, provincial sub-Department of Animal Husbandry, Veterinary and Fisheries along with other specialized agencies in the province, regularly conducted inspections to ensure compliance with environmental protection regulations at animal husbandry facilities on contract. They also collaborated with farm owners to effectively carry out vaccination programs for cattle and poultry, preventing widespread outbreaks of diseases, contributing to the stable and effective development of the province's animal husbandry sector.
