Preparing for wintering. Tajikistan continues to stockpile livestock feed

According to the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Tajikistan, livestock feed is traditionally stocked from early summer to late autumn. The aim is to help supply the domestic market with meat and milk during the winter period.

By 14 August this year, 222,859 tonnes of rough feed and 32,017.6 tonnes of succulent feed had been collected, and work is still under way. In the context of climate change and limited water resources, timely feed collection and sufficient reserves are regarded as important for food security and the sustainable development of livestock farming.

Tajikistan has 3.8 million hectares of pastureland. To improve productivity, the country has adopted the “Pasture Development Programme in the Republic of Tajikistan for 2023-2027”. Source: Khovar National News Agency.
