\n

\n Top Highlights:<\/strong> LCI has inaugurated a new veterinary medicine manufacturing facility at its Sheikhupura site, strengthening local production, supporting animal health operations, and reinforcing Pakistan\u2019s veterinary pharmaceutical sector.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

\n A Timely Boost for Pakistan\u2019s Veterinary Industry\n <\/h2>\n\n

\n The establishment of this facility comes at a time when Pakistan\u2019s veterinary, dairy, livestock, and poultry sectors require more reliable access to quality medicines and modern animal health solutions. By expanding local production, LCI is expected to improve the availability of veterinary pharmaceuticals for farmers, veterinarians, and industry stakeholders while also reducing dependence on imported products.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n For a country where animal health directly affects farm productivity, food security, and rural livelihoods, such investments are being seen as strategically important. Increased local manufacturing can help strengthen disease management, improve supply continuity, and support better response to field-level treatment needs across Pakistan.\n <\/p>\n\n \n

Why This Matters<\/h3>\n

\n Pakistan\u2019s animal health industry is gradually moving toward localization, quality manufacturing, and operational scale<\/strong>. New investments in veterinary medicine production can improve access, reduce delays, and support the broader animal health ecosystem<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

\n LCI\u2019s Animal Health Portfolio and Manufacturing Capability\n <\/h2>\n\n

\n Lucky Core Industries Limited is a diversified public limited company operating across five key businesses: soda ash, polyester, chemicals & agri sciences, pharmaceuticals, and animal health<\/strong>. Within the animal health space, the company serves both livestock and poultry segments through a broad product range and manufacturing capability.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n According to information available from the company\u2019s business profile, LCI offers livestock solutions including anthelmintics, antiprotozoals, antibiotics, restoratives, hormonal products, nutritional formulations, bovine semen solutions, organic acids, feed additives, toxin binders, feed products, NSAIDs, and steroids<\/strong>. In poultry, the company also markets solutions such as antibiotic growth promoters, biologicals, nutritional products, disinfectants, organic acids, toxin binders, anticoccidials, antibiotics, and feed enzymes<\/strong>.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n LCI states that it leverages best manufacturing practices to produce quality veterinary formulations at its Veterinary Medicine Plant. The company says these efforts are aimed at promoting better animal health and safeguarding overall well-being, thereby supporting farmers who rely on consistent and quality-backed solutions in the field.\n <\/p>\n\n \n

\n Beyond medicines, the company also highlights its support for farm productivity through the Farmer\u2019s Choice<\/strong> portfolio, under which it manufactures and markets its own cattle feed brand, LCI Vanda<\/strong>. The product is positioned as a solution to help fulfil the daily nutritional requirements of livestock while improving milk and meat yield.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n This broader product and manufacturing framework suggests that the Sheikhupura facility is not an isolated expansion, but part of a larger business direction focused on integrated livestock and poultry support. For Pakistan\u2019s veterinary and farming community, such moves may contribute to more organized and dependable access to treatment, nutrition, and production inputs.\n <\/p>\n\n \n
