ISLAMABAD: The Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) has signed an agreement with Najd Gateway Holding Company of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) in the livestock sector.

The agreement includes cultivation of 5,000 acres of alfalfa cattle fodder, which is later exported, according to a Radio Pakistan’s report. This fodder is a major source of protein for livestock, and is also a staple diet for dairy cattle, beef, horses, sheep, goats and other domestic animals.

Pakistani soil has great potential for breeding high-quality livestock products with high nutritional and protein content. This crop is cultivated in many countries of the world and is considered as a fodder crop of great importance.
