The purpose of the study was to ascertain whether the lack of dedicated production line and supply chain for beef, leather and cattle bones have had a negative impact on sustaining the productive stocks of dairy cattle because of the legal and illegal slaughtering of cattle drawn from the limited dairy stock.
Due to an increase in milk powder prices in the world market, the Sri Lankan government has paid special attention to develop the local dairy industry to maintain the country's milk powder supplies.
The research was carried out by coordinating many institutions involved in the field of dairy production and using primarily secondary data available within the respective institutions and agencies.
