description After crop production, livestock is one of the most important income generation sources for the village people, and 84% of village households in Bangladesh are involved with livestock production (animals or poultry or both). In Bangladesh, the livestock sector contributes about 2% of the national GDP. Despite the huge number of people involved with livestock production, the country suffers from an acute shortage of livestock products such as milk, meat, and eggs. In Bangladesh, the present milk, meat, and eggs production can meet only 50%, 87%, and 63% of the national demand. Livestock is one of the important components of MFS, and the SI-MFS initiative has identified some constraints on livestock production in the rural villages of Bangladesh these are shortage of improved fodder and feed, rearing the local breed, feed management, poor cattle health, diseases, lack of knowledge on proper livestock management, and poor linkage of livestock product marketing, etc. To overcome some of these constraints SI-MFS initiative has been working in northern and southern Bangladesh on the innovation of Sustainable Intensification of livestock production.
