But, today it has about 1,500 farms spread over . It has a dairy animals population of about 400,000 (around 95% buffaloes and 5% cows, as well as an unknown number of sheep and goats), with a daily yield of about four million litres of milk and 7,200 tones of dung making it world's largest dairy colony. Buffaloes are the biggest source of milk here, just as they are in rest of Pakistan. Individual farmers often own up to 200 animals each (2010)
The majority of the milking animals in LDC are kept only for one lactation phase and consequently approximately 10 to 12 percent of the population is replaced every month. After the lactation period the majority of the animals are sold to breeders or for slaughter and only a few are kept by the dairy farmers for re-breeding. Most of the animals are brought to and from the animal rich districts of Punjab and Sindh. It is Also Known as largest cattle colony of Asia
