Malaysia is a country with a growing demand for dairy products and beef. However, the local production of these commodities is not enough to meet the demand. As a result, the importation of cattle has become an important aspect of the country’s agricultural industry. In Malaysia, the Department of Veterinary Services (“DVS”) under the Ministry of Agriculture and Agro-based Industry regulates the importation of cattle. DVS plays an important role in overseeing the health and welfare of animals in the country, protecting public health through disease control and prevention, and supporting the sustainable development of the country’s livestock industry. In this article, the authors explore the framework behind the importation of cattle to Malaysia, including the reasons for importation, the benefits and challenges of importation, and the regulatory framework governing the importation of cattle.
