Animal husbandry sector has assumed a much broader role in the Indian economy.

It is an integral part of India’s agricultural and rural economy, supplying energy for

crop production in terms of draught power, organic manure and diversifying

agriculture. This sector is the source of additional employment, especially for

marginal & small farmers and agricultural labourers by offering subsidiary

occupation. India is endowed with the largest livestock population in the world.

Government has promoted the business opportunities in animal husbandry sector

especially milch cattle animals and other subsidiaries. Rashtriya Kamdhenu Aayog is

working to explore the huge potential of indigenous Indian cows for socio-economic

development to make our country Atmanirbhar Bharat. A large amount of information

is available in offline and online media. To get acquainted with latest and running

schemes for animal husbandry sector has been compiled by ICAR-ATARI Pune, is a

commendable effort. I hope it will be useful for KVK officials and extension

functionaries especially working in animal husbandry sector and farmers at large

scale. I appreciate the efforts of the ATARI Pune and associated scientists to bring

out the e-publication ‘Developmental Schemes of Animal Husbandry Sector’.

Livestock has been an important source of livelihood for small and marginal farmers. Various

cattle breeds and technologies have revolutionized the field of animal husbandry and milk

production in the country. The milk and value added products have boosted the agricultural

economy and developed as a source of alternate income apart from crop production. The

government has taken several steps for farmers to strengthen the animal husbandry sector.

Various ICAR institutes have developed a lot of need based and problem oriented

technologies on various cattle such as cow, buffalo, poultry, mithun, yak etc. ICAR-ATARI

Pune has compiled different Developmental Schemes of Animal Husbandry Sector in

electronic form. It provides information about various national schemes, states schemes, best

of technologies related to animal husbandry sector and information on various useful mobile

apps and portal for knowledge management. I hope this e-publication will be helpful for the

KVK experts and extension personnel working in the field of animal husbandry. I

complement the Director, ATARI Pune and associated team for this endevour.

Chapter 1

Introduction

Indian livestock sector predominantly small and marginal farmers who plays crucial role in

agricultural development. The share of livestock in agricultural sector GDP growth has been

increasing as compared to crop production sector in the recent past. Livestock sector

contributes about 6 per cent to the Gross Domestic Product and 25 per cent to the

Agricultural Gross Domestic Product.

As per the 20th Livestock census, an increase of 4.6 per cent over the Livestock census 2012.

Total Bovine population is 302.79 million in 2019 which shows an increase of 1.0 per cent

over the previous census. The total number of cattle in the country is 192.49 million in 2019

showing an increase of 0.8 per cent. The female Cattle (Cows population) is increased by

18.0 per cent.

The Indigenous/Non-descript female cattle population has increased by 10 per cent in 2019.

The population of the total Exotic/Crossbred Cattle has increased by 26.9 per cent in 2019.

There is a decline of 6 per cent in the total Indigenous (both descript and non-descript) Cattle

population (Paturkar, 2019).

Farmers from Indian livestock sector have faced many problems related to information of

various schemes and policy changes. Various schemes have been implemented by central as

well as state government time to time basis. Most of the programmes have been implemented

successfully by the government.

Sustainable rapid growth and development in this sector can only be ensured if the livestock

owners, service providers, veterinarians and planners become knowledge based and acquire

the ability to absorb, assimilate and adopt developments in the veterinary sciences and related

technologies (Planning Commission, 2002-07).

Efforts have been taken by ICAR institutes, State Agricultural Universities, Veterinary

departments and KVKs all over India. Most of the government schemes have been

implemented by ministry of animal Husbandry and dairying, government of India in full

fledged manner. Many of the commodity based cooperatives have build their way in this field

and made a distinct identity. AMUL is one of the successful examples of this effort.

Under the umbrella scheme of Aatmnirbhar Bharat, government has made a huge investment

on animal husbandry and fisheries sector. In line with Atma Nirbhar Bharat Abhiyan stimulus

package, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs has now allotted whopping Rs15,000cr

for setting up of Animal Husbandry Infrastructure Development Fund (AHIDF).

Beneficiaries of this package would be Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), MSMEs,

Section 8 Companies, Private Companies and individual entrepreneur.


Further, the cabinet has announced to set up Credit Guarantee Fund of Rs750cr which will be

managed by NABARD. Cabinet adds credit guarantee would be provided to those sanctioned

projects which are covered under MSME defined ceilings. Guarantee Coverage would be up

to 25% of Credit facility of the borrower.

Such investments in processing and value addition infrastructure by eligible beneficiaries

would also promote exports. Since almost 50-60 per cent of the final value of dairy output in

India flows back to farmers, the growth in this sector can have a significant direct impact on

farmer's income.


Chapter 2

Central Government Schemes

1. Rashtriya Gokul Mission

Government has sanctioned funds under Rashtriya Gokul Mission for setting up of 21 Gokul

Grams as Integrated Cattle Development Centres. As of now, 4 Gokul grams (Varanasi,

Mathura, Patiala, and Phora) have been completed and work is under progress in remaining

17 Gokul grams.

Rashtriya Gokul Mission comprises of two components namely:

o The national program for bovine breeding and National mission for bovine productivity.

genetic makeup and increase the stock.

o Enhance milk production and productivity.

o Distribute disease free high genetic merit bulls for natural service.

Significant initiatives under Rashtriya Gokul Mission:

Awards for encouraging farmers/breeder societies to rear Indigenous breeds of bovines:

Gopal Ratna awards: for farmers maintaining the best herd of Indigenous Breed and

practicing best management practices.

Kamdhenu awards: for best managed Indigenous herd by Institutions/Trusts/ NGOs/

Gaushalas or best-managed Breeders‟ societies.

Gokul Gram: The Rashtriya Gokul Mission envisages the establishment of integrated

cattle development centers, „Gokul Grams‟ to develop indigenous breeds including up to

40% nondescript breeds (belonging or appearing to belong to no particular class or kind)

with objectives to:

Promote indigenous cattle rearing and conservation in a scientific manner.

Propagate high genetic merit bulls of indigenous breeds.

Optimize modern farm management practices and promote common resource

management.

Utilize animal waste in an economical way i.e. cow dung, cow urine

National Kamdhenu Breeding Centre: (NKBC) is being established as a Centre of

Excellence to develop and conserve Indigenous Breeds in a holistic and scientific

manner.

“E-Pashu Haat”- Nakul Prajnan Bazaar: An e-market portal connecting breeders and

farmers, for quality- disease-free bovine germplasm.


Pashu Sanjivni: An animal wellness program encompassing the provision of animal

health cards („Nakul Swasthya Patra‟) along with UID identification and uploading data

on National Database.

Advanced Reproductive Technology: Including Assisted Reproductive Technique- In-

vitro Fertilization (IVF)/ Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer (MOET) and sex-sorted

semen technique to improve the availability of disease-free female bovines.

National Bovine Genomic Center for Indigenous Breeds (NBGC-IB) will be

established for selection of breeding bulls of high genetic merit at a young age using

highly precise gene-based technology.

Implementing Agency

Rashtriya Gokul Mission is implemented through the “State Implementing Agency (SIA

viz Livestock Development Boards).

State Gauseva Ayogs are given the mandate to sponsor proposals to the SIA‟s (LDB‟s)

and monitor implementation of the sponsored proposal.

All Agencies having a role in indigenous cattle development will be the “Participating

Agencies” like ICAR, Universities, Colleges, NGO‟s, Cooperative Societies and

Gaushalas.

Other Schemes under Rashtriya Gokul Mission

Semen Station:

a. The state of the art facility has been established under Rashtriya Gokul Mission in

Purnea, Bihar with an investment of Rs. 84.27 crores.

b. It is one of the largest semen stations in the government sector with a production

capacity of 50 lakh semen doses per annum.

c. It will give a new dimension to development and conservation of indigenous breeds of

Bihar and meet the demand of semen doses of eastern and northeastern States.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) Laboratories:

d. Various IVF laboratories are being set up across the country through a 100% grant in

aid.

e. These labs are crucial for propagating elite animals of indigenous breeds and thereby

enhancing milk production and productivity manifold.

Use of Sex-sorted Semen in Artificial Insemination:

f. Through this method, only female calves can be produced (with more than 90%

accuracy) which will help double the growth rate of milk production in the country.

Demonstration of IVF Technology at Farmer's Doorstep:

g. It will propagate the technology for multiplication of high yielding animals at a faster

rate as through the use of technology, a female cattle can give birth to 20 calves in a

year.

DAHD launched Quality Milk Programme on 24.07.2019 with the objectives to achieve

Global (Codex) standards for domestic consumption of milk and ensuring traceability and

increasing share of milk and milk products in world exports.

In the first phase of the programme during 2019-20, approval has been granted for

strengthening of 231 dairy plants under “National Programme for Dairy Development”

scheme to equip them to detect adulterants in milk (Urea, maltodextrin, ammonium sulphate,

detergent, sugar, neutralisers etc.). FTIR technology based milk analyser (for accurate

detection and estimation of milk composition and adulterants) to 139 dairy plants of 30,000

litre capacities and above and 92 dairy plants below 30,000 litres capacity with electronic milk

analyser with adulteration testing equipment. In addition one each of State Central laboratory

for 18 States has been approved. The total cost of the project was Rs.271.64 crore. Out of this,

an amount of Rs.128.56 crore has been released to States as first instalment during 2019-20.

Once implemented in June 2020, all the cooperative dairy plants of the country will be able to

supply quality milk tested on all microbiological, chemical and physical parameters to their

consumers.


6. Animal Husbandry Infrastructure Development Fund (AHIDF) under Atma Nirbhar

Bharat Abhiyan

In pursuance of recently announced Atma Nirbhar Bharat Abhiyan stimulus package for

ensuring growth in several sectors, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, chaired by

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, has approved setting up of Animal Husbandry

Infrastructure Development Fund (AHIDF) worth Rs. 15000 crore.

Government has been implementing several schemes for incentivizing the investment made

by dairy cooperative sector for development of dairy infrastructure. However, government

realizes that even MSMEs and Private companies also need to be promoted and incentivized

for their involvement in processing and value addition infrastructure. AHIDF would

facilitate much needed incentivisation of investments in establishment of such infrastructure

for dairy and meat processing and value addition infrastructure and establishment of animal

feed plant in the private sector. The eligible beneficiaries under the Scheme would be

Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), MSMEs, Section 8 Companies, Private Companies

and individual entrepreneur with minimum 10% margin money contribution by them. The

balance 90% would be the loan component to be made available by scheduled banks.

Government of India will provide 3% interest subvention to eligible beneficiaries. There

will be 2 years moratorium period for principal loan amount and 6 years repayment period

thereafter.

Government of India would also set up Credit Guarantee Fund of Rs. 750 crore to be

managed by NABARD. Credit guarantee would be provided to those sanctioned projects

which are covered under MSME defined ceilings. Guarantee Coverage would be upto 25%

of Credit facility of borrower.

There is huge potential waiting to be unlocked in investment through private sector. The

INR 15,000 cr. AHIDF and the interest subvention scheme for private investors will ensure

availability of capital to meet upfront investment required for these projects and also help

enhance overall returns/ pay back for investors. Such investments in processing and value

addition infrastructure by eligible beneficiaries would also promote export of these

processed and value added commodities.

Since, almost 50-60% of final value of dairy output in India flows back to farmers,

therefore, growth in this sector can have significant direct impact on farmer‟s income. Size

of dairy market and farmers‟ realization from milk sales is closely linked with development

of organized off-take by cooperative and private dairies. Thus, investment incentivization in

AHIDF would not only leverage 7 times private investment but would also motivate farmers

to invest more on inputs thereby driving higher productivity leading to increase in farmers

income. The measures approved today through AHIDF would also help in direct and

indirect livelihood creation for 35 lakh.

Chapter 4

Best of Technologies for Animal Husbandry Sector

Some of the technologies for animal husbandry are as follows:

S.N. Description of Technologies

1. Compressed complete feed block (CCFB)

Suitable amount of complete feed mixture consisting

of wheat straw, molasses, crushed maize, deoiled

groundnut meal, mineral mixture, salt and vitablend

fed into compaction chamber of the machine and

compressed at 250 kg/cm2 pressure to form CCFB.

The CCFB containing partial roughage and wheat

bran can meet the requirement of growthup to 400-

500 g/day in buffaloes and can reduce transportation

cost and scarcity of feeds in developing countries.

2. Animal Feed Block Making Machine

The feed block making machine designed and

developed at CIRG makes blocks of size 12cm x

12cm x 8cm and the average weight of the blocks

was 850gm. In complete feed block the roughage

contents varies from 40 to 50% for growing animals

and 70 to 80% for dry animals. The cost of block

making is approximately Rs.34/- per quintal. The

capacity of the machine is 120-160kg/hour.

3. Area specific mineral mixture

NDRI has formulated area specific mineral mixtures

after studying the status of various minerals in

different areas. There are two types of formulations of

mineral mixture, one is with salt and the other is

without salt. It should be mixed in the concentrate

mixture @ 2kg per 100 kg (without salt) and @ 3

kg/100 kg (with salt) or can be supplemented @ 50 g

per day per adult animal mixed in feed. 4. Mineral Mixture for Sheep and Goat

Small ruminants like sheep and goat have specific

mineral requirements which is quite different from the

large ruminants. Depending on the mineral

requirement of sheep and goat, their feeding habitat,

mineral status of feeds and fodders used in feeding

practice and most limiting minerals, specific mineral

mixture formulations were prepared for sheep and

goat. These formulations were tested in sheep and

goat in organised farms and found to improve growth

and health. Results have shown better weight gain,

low mortality and higher immune status in animals

supplemented with mineral mixture.


5. Elisa based diagnostic kits for effective control of

brucellosis and johne’e diseases in goats

Diagnosis is the most crucial aspect for effective

control of diseases. CIRG has developed immune-

diagnostics for timely detection of brucellosis and

Johne’s disease (JD) in goats. Boththe diseases cause

considerable economic losses. Brucellosis causes

abortions, still births and diminished levels of milk

production. JD is associated with chronic loss in body

weight. The use of JD diagnostic helped in

minimizing the incidence of the disease to a minimal

level in the goat flocks.

6. Jamunapari

Jamunapari- The Pride Goat of India, is large dual

purpose breed commonly found in UP in between

Jamuna, Ganga and Chambal river.

Average adult weight of male and female is 45-50 kg

and 40-45 kg respectively. Average milk yield is 1.50

– 2.00 kg / day with a total lactation yield of 280 kg

in a lactation period of 270 days. The fat content of

milk ranges from 5.2 to 7.8 percent. Average growth

was recorded to be 70 -75 g / day. Single birth is very

common and twin birth is less observed. Litter size at

birth is single 70 % while twins 30 %. They kid twice

in a period of 18 months.

8. Vanaraja

A dual-purpose poultry variety developed for free

range poultry farming in rural and tribal areas.

These birds feed on kitchen waste, natural

vegetation and insects like country birds and do not

require any commercial feed. They are hardy and

suited for rearing under harsh conditions.

The birds have multi colored feathers and lay

brown eggs with an adult body weight of 1.8 to 2.0

Kg for males at 12 weeks of age. The annual egg

production is about 100-110 eggs in free range

conditions.

9. Kits for FMD Diagnosis

Type-FMD kit

For Foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV)serotyping

in clinical samples. It was developed by Project

Directorate on Foot and Mouth DiseaseMukteswar,

Nainital, Uttarakhand.
