According to the Upazila Livestock Office, more than 5,620 cows and buffaloes are currently being reared in Dashmina. The char environment, with its wetlands and natural grasslands, is particularly suitable for buffalo rearing. Chhakina Begum of Char Banshbaria said buffalo rearing is profitable as feed costs are low in the char areas. During these periods, livestock rearing has emerged as a vital alternative source of income. Dashmina Upazila Livestock Officer Shuvendu Sarkar said the area has "huge potential" for cow and buffalo rearing due to its natural pastures and wetlands.
