During 2008 09, Pakistan produced a total of 42 billion liters of milk worth US$ 18 billion (at retail price of Rs 35 / liter). In view of this the country is the 4th / 5th largest producer of milk in the world yet it is a net importer. In terms of retail value, milk produced in the country is more than 11% of the countrys total GDP (US$ 165 billion - CIA Fact book) Milk production has created millions of jobs in production, collection, processing & distribution.
Total herd size is 62.9 million animals Average number of animals per household is less than 3 More than 90% farmers are small producers
Average daily milk production per animal is less than 4 liters as opposed to 33 liters per day for the developed world
On the average, 8 Pakistani milk producing animals are equal to 1 animal of the developed world.
Low yields & small average herd sizes have resulted in sub-subsistence level living for millions of people in Pakistan
Unlike the developed world, research & development on local breeds has been marginal over the past 6 decades

Meat production is an important byproduct of dairy farming In 2009, Pakistan produced 2.88 MT meat, dairy animals contributed 48% of total meat produced Exotic beef breeds are more suitable for meat production

Improving animals productivity is vital for uplifting the dairy and beef industry
Animal genetic potential Access to credit Supporting Drivers Industry / Academia Linkages Human Resource Availability External Support Cycle
Sahiwal & Cholistani cattle breeds are amongst the most hardy & extreme weather tolerant animals in the world
Dairy farmers in Central Punjab, South Punjab & Upper Sind mostly have these types of breeds because of their high temperature tolerance Although breed yield averages are around 1,750 liters but there are animals with milk production potential of over 30 liters per day
These elite animals are available in very small numbers and held by private individuals around the country
It is unfortunate but no concerted effort has been undertaken to develop these breeds & thus they are withering away
With 29.9 million animals, nearly 48% of Pakistans total milking herd producing 64% of the countrys milk requirement is the buffalo
With high maintenance cost and low milk production, this animal offers negative returns to its owners currently This animal is least researched upon yet much talked about by Academia & Government Although breed yield averages are around 1,700 liters but there are animals with milk production potential of over 25 liters per day Since this is a local animal, there is no imported semen available for genetic up-gradation
Buffalo Semen Available: - Public Sector Production - Private Cottage Industry Production - Imported Semen Total Available Artificial Insemination Rate Cattle Semen Requirement
Cattle Semen Available: - Public Sector Production 400,000 Poor - Private Cottage Industry Production 200,000 Very Poor - Imported Semen** 1,000,000 Acceptable Total Available 1,600,000 Artificial Insemination Rate 4.4% * Source: Economic Survey of Pakistan 2008 - 09 ** Imported cattle semen is mostly being supplied to the public sector or to the large progressive farmers by the importers / distributors as selected few can afford it
Genetic Up-gradation What Are The Pakistani Dairy Farmers Current Options
With just 6% semen availability, Pakistani farmers use natural service for their animals 94% of the times A cursory evaluation of the 6% available semen will reveal:
Government produced semen is priced at Rs 35 to 65 per dose but has marginal to very poor quality Private cottage industry produced semen is priced at Rs 50 to 250 per dose but has very poor quality Imported semen is only for cattle & not buffalos and is priced prohibitively at Rs 300 (for acceptable quality) to upwards of Rs 8,000 (for top quality)
Locally produced semen is of marginal quality while high quality imported semen is beyond affordability hence artificial insemination rate is only 6 %

Sustainable Development:
About 2/3 of Pakistan comprises of rural areas and development has been marginal and uneven Jassar Farms business model seeks to achieve economic and social returns at the same time
Projects Partners:
Jassar Farm has partnered with Acumen Fund in an embryo transfer program to bring in world class genetics in Pakistan Acumen Fund is a USA based social impact venture capital fund that only takes equity positions in projects that have a social significance and economic sustainability.

Produce elite bulls through embryo transfer for semen processing unit The processing unit will produce world class semen for dairy and beef animals locally for onward sale to poor farmers at affordable rates
Key Achievements
Produced progenies of worlds best dairy animals As of May 2011, 8 male & 5 female calf births have taken place (this is the highest number of animals produced through imported embryos in Pakistan) Team will be fully equipped technically to flush, produce & transfer embryos locally in 2011

Use world class semen to obtain high yielding progeny from local animals Build awareness about genetic up-gradation & its advantages The dairy unit will ensure financial sustainability of the project till semen unit establishes its market
Key Achievements
Using world class semen, by end of May 2011, Jassar Farms has successfully produced more than 375 cross breeds animals (i.e. F1s & R1) from local cows

Thank You
supporting the dairy industry through superior genetics can lead to a social
& economic soft revolution in the country on an economically sustained basis.
