Bhutan Livestock Development Corporation Limited (BLDCL) is a State-Owned Enterprise (SOE) and was established to complement Department of Livestock (DoL) in the development of livestock sector in the country. BLDCL basically, is a commercial entity in enhancing production and marketing of country’s livestock inputs and products.   In the context and mandate of BLDCL, inputs generally mean animal inputs (DOC, PS, dairy cow & heifers, Breeding studs, fingerlings, piglets, pullets, apiculture, seed & seeding) and feeds. In the long run, BLDCL is mandated and expected to provide all animal inputs but as of now, BLDCL has the facility to provide poultry DoC and dairy heifers.

Since the inception of the first five-year plan, the livestock input supplies were the primary priority of the government to trigger notable shift from subsistence to semi-commercial and commercial livestock farming in the country. However, the desired shift has not happened due to limited production capacity of the farms, technical and resource deficits. Thus, BLDCL work towards supplementing the deficits of inputs of DoL and it is also mandated for BLDCL to gradually supply and meet all livestock inputs in the country.  More importantly, the livestock inputs produced and supplied to the farmers would be made affordable besides the quality.
