Agro firms gear up cow fattening drive ahead of Eid

Commercial beef cattle farming has gained prominence in the country targeting the Muslim Eid festival.
The country cattle farming went through a boom after the supply of cows from India dried up following stringent moves led by the Indian government in recent years.
This has created an ample opportunity for cattle farmers in Myanmar, Nepal and Bhutan from where Bangladeshis bring cows through formal and informal channels to meet the demand for Eid-ul-Adha.
With the largest Eid-ul-Adha, the festival of animal sacrifice just around the corner, local beef cattle farmers are now extremely busy.
