Sindh Livestock Breeding Services Authority – LBSA Sindh
The Sindh Livestock Breeding Services Authority (LBSA Sindh) was established under the Sindh Livestock Breeding Act 2016. The mission of this authority is to regulate and elevate livestock breeding practices in Sindh. The authority aims to improve genetic potential, conserve indigenous breeds, and foster sustainable livestock development.
The Purpose and Goals of LBSA Sindh
The primary objective of LBSA is to enhance the quality of livestock in Sindh through modern breeding services and best practices. The organization focuses on genetic improvement, sustainability, and protecting the biodiversity of indigenous breeds. By introducing advanced technologies like artificial insemination (AI) and embryo transfer, LBSA focuses on livestock performance and productivity. Additionally, the authority emphasizes the development of breeding programs tailored to enhance the genetic quality of livestock in Sindh.
Vision and Mission of LBSA Sindh
The vision of LBSA under Sindh Livestock Breeding Act 2016 aligns with alleviating poverty and enhancing the living standards of Sindh’s rural communities. By enforcing the Sindh Animal Breeding Act, the authority aims to promote the production of milk and meat, ensuring food security and economic stability. The mission focuses on providing high-quality livestock products, supporting rural livelihoods, and protecting the unique genetic traits of local breeds. Strengthening veterinary care and disease prevention measures are also integral to LBSA’s goals, ensuring a consistent supply of healthy animal products.
Key Functions of LBSA Sindh
To achieve its vision, LBSA undertakes several vital functions. These include regulating livestock breeding services, licensing livestock farms, and registering AI practitioners, companies, and training centers. Standards and procedures for breeding animals under the Sindh Livestock Breeding Act 2016 are issued to ensure compliance and excellence. Furthermore, the authority is responsible for parentage verification of breeding males and the registration of breeders’ associations. LBSA also maintains performance records of animals to identify bull mothers and implement genetic evaluation programs.
One of LBSA’s critical objectives is the conservation and propagation of Sindh’s indigenous breeds. These include the Thari, Kankrej, and Red Sindhi cattle breeds, as well as the Kamori and Pateri goat breeds and the Kundhi buffalo. By fostering breeding associations for each of these breeds, LBSA aims to preserve their unique genetic characteristics and promote sustainable livestock practices.
