Sector representatives warn that the issue has now become directly linked to national food safety and livestock health.<\/p>\n\n<!-- Soft Subheading -->\n<h2 style=\"color:#1d6fd1; margin-top:25px; font-size:20px;\"><\/h2>\n\n<p>Retired Maj Syed Javed Hussain Bukhari, spokesperson for the Pakistan Veterinary Pharmaceutical Association (PVPA), stated that the regulatory vacuum has allowed counterfeit and substandard veterinary medicines to circulate freely. He cautioned that the unchecked spread of deadly livestock diseases is now posing serious risks to both food security and export opportunities.<\/p>\n\n<!-- Info Box -->\n<div style=\"background:#fff6e3; border-left:4px solid #e4a400; padding:12px 15px; margin:20px 0; border-radius:4px;\">\n    <strong style=\"color:#d48b00;\">Industry Scale:<\/strong> The veterinary sector is valued above <strong>Rs14 trillion annually<\/strong>, with over <strong>500,000 livestock farms<\/strong> and more than <strong>1,000 manufacturing units<\/strong>.\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Mr Bukhari noted that such a massive sector is currently operating under what he described as \u201cweak, unscientific and generalized regulations,\u201d leaving farmers and manufacturers vulnerable.<\/p>\n\n<!-- Soft Subheading -->\n<h2 style=\"color:#1d6fd1; margin-top:25px; font-size:20px;\"><\/h2>\n\n<p>He explained that advanced nations such as the United States, United Kingdom, European states and China maintain separate and fully empowered regulatory authorities for both veterinary and human medicines. In these countries, veterinary scientists, public health specialists and technical experts contribute at every step\u2014from policy creation to drug approval and quality monitoring.<\/p>\n\n<p>This scientific approach, he said, has resulted in globally recognized standards for disease control, drug quality and export performance.<\/p>\n\n<!-- Soft Subheading -->\n<h2 style=\"color:#1d6fd1;
