Reproductive Efficiency Improvement

Advanced reproductive technologies deployed to reduce calving intervals, improve conception rates, and maximize herd productivity — growing Pakistan’s livestock base sustainably.

Project Profile

Maximising Every Animal’s Productive Potential

Low reproductive efficiency — characterized by long calving intervals, poor conception rates, and high calf mortality — is one of the most significant constraints on Pakistan’s livestock productivity. A cow or buffalo that calves every 18–24 months instead of 12–15 months represents a massive economic loss.

LDDB’s reproductive efficiency program introduced proven AI (Artificial Insemination) technologies, reproductive health monitoring, and farmer training to systematically improve these metrics across participating farms.
