Abstract

Gayal is remarked as one of Bangladesh's endangered animals. Effective measures should be taken to conserve and develop Gayal by utilizing it as an economic resource. Across the country, the government is working a lot to meet the demand for animal protein. In this regard, we advocate for the advancement of Gayal farming, to foster its growth as an emerging sector, thereby fulfilling the increasing demand for meat within the country. The present study was undertaken due to an immense need for integrated understanding and synthesis of previous research on Gayal (Bos frontalis). On Gayal, a lot of relevant titles and abstracts were searched, accounted and considered for organizing and preparing the present review. A comprehensive literature search, screening, and review were performed to identify and investigate factors potentially linked with the farm-to-fork pathway in Bangladesh. The most common factors (n=101) were identified considering the studied parameters of origin, distribution, population, phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, productive and reproductive performances, health status and biosecurity, marketing facilities, development and conservation, etc. The research team aimed to know the existing scenario and the importance of the conservation and development of Gayal in Bangladesh from available secondary sources such as literature, journals, books, thesis reports etc. It also aims to know the physical traits, genetic composition, and behavior of Gayal, along with investigating their productivity and reproductive efficiency, health status, prevalent diseases, and challenges encountered by farmers. It further explores the purposes of Gayal rearing, evaluates their marketing status, and reviews conservation efforts in Bangladesh.
