Pressing issues will be resolved by collaborating with related ministries, government and non-government organizations, as well as businesses. Fulfillment of assignments has to be promptly reported,” As of past week, herdsmen prepared some 740 thousand tons of hay, 6,300 tons of soiling food, 6,700 tons of produced fodder with overall animal food preparations going at 53 per cent nationwide.
