Farmers are spending a busy time ahead of the sacrificial animal. Every year, the demand for sacrificial animals is met from 4,000 small and large farms established across Madaripur district. Farmers are spending their last minute busy time fattening cows in these farms using completely indigenous methods. Marginal farmers are also dreaming of selling in different districts by fulfilling the needs of the district. It is known that in addition to farms in Madaripur district, farmers at the marginal level raise cows every year for the occasion of sacrificial animal. There is also a lot of demand for these cows in the country’s market.
\nThese cows are known as ‘Gersthar Goru’ in the local language. In addition, numerous small and large farms have been established across the district. Seema Begum and Moktar Chokdar, a couple from Barakandi area of \u200b\u200bDudhkhali union of Sadar upazila, have gradually built a cow farm. The husband and wife look after the entire farm together. Ahead of Eid-ul-Adha, they have prepared 35 domestic and foreign animals for sale. They are fattening them using a completely domestic method. This time, they hope to sell all the cows on Eid.
\nMeanwhile, the largest cattle farm in the upazila is ‘Naeem Agro Farm’ in Munshi Kadirpur area of \u200b\u200bShibchar upazila of the district. At least 150 cows have been prepared for sacrifice here. There are also some buffaloes.
\nAccording to the district livestock office, there are 72,495 animals in the district against the demand of 66,880 animals. 16 medical teams have been formed around the permanent and temporary fifty haats for selling animals. In order to meet the needs of the district, the farms have increased their busyness at the last minute ahead of Eid-ul-Adha. Farmers expect that if cows are not imported illegally from India, the cattle will be sold at a high price. This will help them recover their losses last year.
\nFarmer Moktar Chokder said, I wait for Eid-ul-Adha all year round. That is why we are fattening the animals in the farm using a completely indigenous method. If cows are not imported from India, we are expecting good profits this time. Then we will be able to raise more cows in the future.
\nAnother farmer, Sohag Khan, said, we are fattening the cows by feeding them hay, husk and grass. I have a big dream of selling all the cows on the farm at a good price this time. I am preparing to take the cows to the market.
\nNaeem Agro Farm owner, Mojibur Rahman Khan, said, in addition to selling our cows at the markets in Shibchar, many people come directly and buy the cows from the farm. Sometimes, we also deliver them to the buyers’ homes before the sacrifice.
\nMadaripur District Livestock Officer (Acting) Dr. Sachindra Nath Biswas said, the District Livestock Department is providing guidance and advice to farmers at the field level to prevent animal diseases and pests. In addition, the office is keeping a close watch on the field to ensure that no farmer uses any method other than the indigenous method to fatten cows. Madaripur Additional Superintendent of Police Jahangir Alam said, “The district police has taken necessary steps to prevent any untoward incident surrounding the sale of animals during Eid al-Adha. In the meantime, intelligence surveillance has been increased around the markets. The police are also working in plain clothes.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
