Lal Teer Livestock
Development Limited (LTLD) is the first Bangladeshi Research and Development (R & D) based
"Livestock breeding company" in the private sector. The company was
established in 2010 at Bhaluka, Mymensingh. From the very inception LTLD has
been working for the improvement of
Buffalo and Cattle breed throughout the country. Our R&D includes genetic
farm (breeding farm), bull stations, fodder bank and modern semen processing
laboratory, as well as improvement of feed, animal health and management
technique for smallholder animal farmers. The Bull Station is fully equipped
with live bull management and semen production and distribution of frozen semen
of dairy, beef cattle and buffaloes.
Lal Teer Livestock
Development Limited is a registered
(Reg. no. 02) company for semen collection, processing and marketing by the
regulatory authority of Bangladesh Government, Department of Livestock Services
(DLS), Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock.
Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) is one of the most
important animal resources for milk and meat production in South Asia and South
East Asia. Unfortunately, no visible effort has been made to improve the buffalo
breeds for increasing the meat and milk productivity suitable to climate of
Bangladesh. In India (70%) and Pakistan (68%), the lion share of their milk
production comes from buffalo. Bangladesh is lagging far behind on this.
Keeping this in mind, LTLD has been working diligently to bring such an
important resource (buffalo) in the mainstream of milk and meat production.
India had exported more than US$ 8.0 Billion worth of Buffalo meat in 2018.
The research activities
of LTLD include an all out research on genetics characterization of buffalo
breed type available in Bangladesh. For the very first time a private sector
enterprise had undertaken such scientific activities to improve the livestock
breed.
Our Genomic Research
includes sequencing, bioinformatics analysis to identify the clear concept on
Gene Expression mechanism and Gene Expression regulation factors. This
knowledge can make clear the gene expression pathway of any particular gene and
possible way of interruption. This knowledge may be useful on more productivity
increase. As part of our genomic research to improve the productivity of the
local buffalo, we finish the decoding of water buffalo genome under whole
genome sequencing project in collaboration with BGI, China with the approval of
Department of Livestock Services (DLS). We hope this decoding of buffalo genome
will be proven to be a milestone for improving the productivity with follow up
research. In relation to this a research article has been published in the
volume 9, issue 6 of world famous international journal "Ecology and
Evaluation" and in the Wiley Online Library on April 2019 edition, where
you will find our valued publication on Buffalo genome sequencing
Lal Teer Livestock
Development Limited (LTLD) is currently engaged in development, production,
processing, storage, packaging, marketing and distribution of all kinds of frozen
semen (Cattle & Buffalo) in line with the development program of the
Government of Bangladesh. The company has thus established itself as a really
integrated breeding company in the country. The LTLD scientist’s team is continually
engaged in R & D work to improve Cattle & Buffalo breed adopted in the
sub-tropical climate of the country. The company believe that the LTLD’s
improved breed for milk and beef will
reach to the door step of Small Farmers of urban & rural area of Bangladesh,
which has been a great service to fueling in improving their financial outcome
and livelihood improvement. On the other hand, this is certainly a complement to
the overall economy of the country and for food and nutrition security of
Bangladesh.

Message from Director Desk:
The Lal Teer Livestock Development (BD) Limited (LTL) is a leading company providing genetically superior livestock breeds and
technical support for genetic improvement potential to the farmers’ network. It
belonging to the Multimode Group of companies started functioning since the end
of 2010. Its core agricultural sister concern is the Lal Teer Seed Limited
(LTSL), which is an international standard Bangladeshi seed company having all
requisites of a modern seed company with distribution channel throughout the
country and abroad.
Lal Teer
Livestock Development Limited (LTLD) is a Registered (Reg. no. 02) company for
semen collection, processing and marketing by the regulatory authority of
Bangladesh Government, Department of Livestock Services (DLS), Ministry of
Fisheries and Livestock.
Vision
We want to build
a relationship with our livestock farmers to work collectively with a vision to
way out a breeding strategy to promote and sustain the growth in the dairy
industry. We have a target to grow as a multi-species food animal genetic
improvement that is an integral and indispensable part of our customers’
business for food security through milk and meat, which could guide us to
establish our high merit animal stock.
Mission
Our
mission is to be the leading countrywide supplier of high grade genetic to improve
dairy industry to develop chain relation with customers through
innovative and outstanding services, technology, nutrition & health and
management improvement.
Objectives
The main purpose
of the LTL is to genetic improvement of Dairy and Beef cattle and Buffalo
business enterprise development in the country. The activities of the program
are to increase quality semen production from locally produced environmentally
acclimatized supported excellent bull, fresh and frozen embryos with superior
genetic combination at desired blood levels for sustainable higher milk and
meat industry and its distribution/marketing for Artificial Insemination for
increasing milk and meat to cater future growing dairy industry throughout
Bangladesh.
The program is
integrated with sex semen and embryo production and marketing, cattle feed
production, cattle and buffalo fattening for meat, quality heifer production
for starting dairy farm, bio gas, organic fertilizer, milk value chain and milk
products marketing and meat processing. All these programs are based on Nucleus Breeding Farm and community
based livestock farmers locally stationed called as Livestock Growth Center.
Innovative
Aspects:
To meet
the growing demand
for milk and milk products
and meat, the
livestock farmers in Bangladesh
require improved breeds
of cattle and
buffalo with a
higher productivity potential. In
addition the cattle and buffalo farmers need to have improved feed and better
access to animal health services in order to realize the production potential
of the improved cattle and buffalo breeds.
Approaches:
a)
Promote
genetic improvement of Dairy cattle, Dairy buffalo and Beef cattle and Goat
enterprises in the country,
b)
Proven/tested
Bull Production
c)
High
merited semen sales under linked farmers
through contract farming to the Dairy & Buffalo farmers network,
d)
Quality Dairy , Beef and Dairy Buffalo semen
production that adapted local environment,
e)
Self
Employed LSP, AI Technician training
facilitation to enhance the tool of Genetic Improvement of Dairy & Beef,
