June 19 2023: The Livestock Research and Extension Division (LRED) and the National Livestock Research Center (NLRC) finalised the draft of the Livestock Research Strategy (3rd Edition) and identified key research priorities for the 13th Five Year Plan (FYP) period.
Held from June 15th to June 17th, 2023, at the NLRC in Bumthang, the researchers from the Department, provided a platform for in-depth discussions and collaboration among livestock research experts, fostering a shared vision and mission for the future of Bhutan’s livestock sector. The write-shop focused on finalising the Livestock Research Strategy Guideline, specifically addressing the third edition. This guideline serves as a roadmap for livestock research activities and provides a framework for conducting research aligned with national priorities.
The Livestock Research Strategy Guideline and the identified research priorities for the 13th FYP period will be subject to further scrutiny and validation through consultations with the Department, commodity central programs, and the district livestock sectors. The involvement of stakeholders across the sector ensures that the final research agenda represents the collective efforts and aspirations of Bhutan’s livestock community.
