Greetings from Peshawar, Pakistan. I was pleased to see about the Halal Science Center at CU Bangkok. I have been at the University for International Training Course on Swamp Buffalo Reproduction. The training course was organized by Prof Peerasaak Chantaraprateep and taught by Profs Annop, Prachin, Mongkul, etc. Recently, I organized the International Workshop on Dairy Science Park at Peshawar. Details are available at http://www.aup.edu.pk/dairy-science-park.php. The conference was
attended by +450 delegates from all four provinces of the country and Azad
Jammu and Kashmir belonging to a variety of
segments of the society. During the three days of the
workshop, experts from academia, research, extension and industry, policy
makers and farmers community presented 35 papers and exchanged ideas to work
out a comprehensive plan for the development of dairy industry of the province.
The workshop was inaugurated by the Honorable Minister for Agriculture, Arbab
Muhammad Ayub Jan and concluded by Haji Hidayatullah Khan, Minister for
Livestock. Ninety one Abstracts and 13 titles were published in an abstract
book, ISBN-978-969-422-001-7. Another volume of the book was published covering
recommendations, daily proceedings and pictorials.
A committee shaped up the recommendations into various
components including Business Support, Infrastructural Support, Legislative And
Policy Support, Animal Production Support, Animal Health Support, Environment
And Energy Solutions, Institutional Strengthening and Coordination. Various
activities have been proposed for productivity enhancement and industrial
applications. Some projects have been identified for implementation at AU
Peshawar and the Livestock Trainers and Consultants. Besides the support
already provided to the Faculty of AHVS, this University is also willing to
sponsor some additional activities under endowment fund and will provide a
liaison office to KPCCI for supporting commercially viable projects. The provincial
government and other local and international donors are expected to sponsor
some viable projects. This University would like to establish collaboration with the CU Halal Science Center for supporting mutton export from Peshawar, the headquarter of Northern Pakistan. Prof M Subhan Qureshi Peshawar http://www.aup.edu.pk/dean.php?f_id=3
