The crisis unfolded due to floodwaters submerging large swathes of grassy fields and around one-and-half metric tonnes of straw, said Abul Kalam Azad, district livestock official, on Friday.
Almost 600,000 animals are suffering from the crisis. The numbers include 372,000 cows, over 200,000 goats, 11,000 sheep and hundreds of buffaloes.
An urgent supply of 10,000 metric tonnes of animal feed has been released by the government, which is expected to reach the district in the coming couple of days, said Azad.
