1. Problems of livestock production in Nepal

2. Animal feed deficit: There is a shortage of quality feed for animals throughout the year. ost current understanding of child nutrition is based on the well-established United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) framework, which identifies the determinants of undernutrition in children, consisting of immediate causes (inadequate dietary intake and diseases), underlying causes (household food security, inadequate care and feeding practices, and unhealthy household environment and inadequate health services), and basic causes (social, cultural, economic, livelihood, etc.) ( 9 ). In low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), agriculture has been linked to improved child nutrition outcomes through three primary pathways: food production, income, and women's empowerment ( 10 ).

3. Climate change: Climate change is already having a negative impact on livestock production in Nepal. More extreme weather events, such as droughts and floods, are making it difficult for farmers to raise animals. Market access: Many Nepalese farmers struggle to get their products to market, which can limit their income. This is especially a problem for farmers in remote areas. These are just some of the problems facing livestock production in Nepal. There are a number of initiatives underway to address these challenges, but more needs to be done to improve the sustainability and productivity of the sector.

4. Traditional practices: Many farmers in Nepal continue to use traditional livestock production practices, which can be inefficient and unsustainable. For example, some farmers graze their animals on common land, which can lead to overgrazing and degradation of the land. Disease: Livestock in Nepal are susceptible to a number of diseases, which can devastate herds and flocks. This is a particular problem for small-scale farmers, who may not be able to afford to vaccinate their animals.
