China Supports Pakistan’s Livestock Health
China has donated 300,000 doses of veterinary vaccines to Pakistan to help prevent two major livestock diseases: lumpy skin disease and brucellosis.
The vaccines were handed over at the National Agricultural Research Centre in Islamabad after arriving in the capital. The donation follows a veterinary vaccine cooperation agreement signed between Pakistan and China in 2025.
The support comes at an important time for Pakistan’s livestock sector, which provides livelihoods for millions of people and plays a significant role in the country’s rural economy.
Livestock diseases can affect animal health, reduce productivity and create financial challenges for farmers. Vaccination helps strengthen disease prevention and can reduce the impact of outbreaks on rural communities.
The donated vaccines target lumpy skin disease and brucellosis, providing additional support for Pakistan’s veterinary disease control efforts. A field demonstration of vaccination procedures was also conducted at the research centre.
For farmers, healthier livestock can mean greater productivity and more secure livelihoods.
Pakistan also hopes to benefit from China’s experience in livestock development, veterinary services, agricultural research, biotechnology and animal disease control.
The vaccine donation reflects growing cooperation between the two countries in agricultural and veterinary sectors.
Beyond the immediate supply of vaccines, knowledge sharing and technical collaboration could help Pakistan strengthen its long term disease prevention systems. For rural communities, stronger veterinary support can mean healthier animals and greater economic stability.
