a. Describe the major farming situation to provide information on growing environment (rainfall and soil information - colour, depth & texture) such as low rainfall shallow red sandy loam soils, high rainfall deep black soils, uplands, medium lands, eroded hill slops etc. tank fed black soils, shallow acid soils, sodic vertisols etc
b. Describe the normal crop or cropping system grown in that farming situation including catch crop, sequence, rotation & variety if known
22
c. Describe the alternative crop, variety and/or cropping pattern in view of the delay in monsoon and shortening of the growing period including delay in sowing of nurseries in case of paddy.
− In case of normal onset followed by early season droughts re-sowing may be recommended including variety seed rate etc.
− In case of early or mid season dry spells indicate crop management techniques to save standing crop.
− In case of terminal drought indicate giving life saving supplemental irrigation, if available or taking up harvest at physiological maturity with some realizable grain/fodder yield etc.
d. Describe all agronomic practices which help in coping with late planting like increased or decreased spacing, changes in planting geometry, intercropping in case of sole crops, thinning, mulching, spray of anti-transpirants or other chemicals, supplemental irrigation, soil and moisture conservation practices like ridging, conservation furrows, dust mulch etc.
− In case of early and mid season dry spells indicate moisture conservation techniques to save standing crop.
− In case of terminal drought indicate early rabi cropping with suitable crops/varieties with a possibility of giving pre-sowing/come up irrigation etc.
e. Give details on the source of the breeder seed, in case an alternate crop or variety is suggested as part of the contingency. For agronomic measures, indicate any convergence possible with ongoing central or state schemes like National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS), Integrated Watershed Management Programme (IWMP), Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY), National Food Security Mission (NFSM), Integrated Scheme on Oilseeds, Pulses, Oilpalm and Maize (ISOPOM), National Horticulture Mission (NHM), Community Land Development Programme (CLDP) etc., to meet the cost of materials, labour or implements etc. to carry out any field based activity quickly.

• Conservation wheat straw, Pulses straw, (Green gram, black gram), Gram Husk, )
• Plantation of fodder bushes
• Adequate feeding of animals with available feed resources, which are stored before the event such as Uromol blocks, silage, tree leaves ,crop residue etc.
• To avoid malnutrition Prepare “Uromol blocks.” (4 kg Urea + 12 kg molasses +10 lit. water heat it and mix with 16 kg wheat bran and use for feeding animal).along with crop residue.
• Treat dry fodder like wheat straw, Pulses straw, Tur, bhusa, Jawarkadbi with 2% Urea, 5% Jaggary, 1% mineral mixture, 1% salt ,then feed the animal
• Use Non-conventional feed resources like agro industrial by products such as banana peel, mango peel, citrus pumac, beer industry waste etc.
• Hydroponic maize fodder production. • mineral mixture up to 100-150 gm for large
animals to overcome problem of Malnutrition • Use locally available cheap feed ingredients
especially Groundnut haulms as protein supplement • Use of non conventional fodder source like rain
tree pods, thorn less cactus, glyricidia, pimpal, subabhul etc.
• Encourage farmers to grow multi cut fodder crops like berseem, Sorghum.
• Avoid feeding of succulent green grass, otherwise may lead to Pasture bloat and Magnesium Tetany
• Adequate quantity of fodder and concentrate with Minerals and Vitamins should be given.

trees on bunds like leucana lucacephala ,Drum stick,Vilayati chincha, anajan trees
• Grow Azolla cultivation at backyard
• Procure and store low grade grains available in the market
• Establishment & Promotion of nursery of fodder trees
• Concentrate ingredients such as Grains, brans, chunnies and oilseed cakes, lowgrade grains unfit for human consumption be procured and feed livestock
• Progressive dairy farmers may provide chelated mineral mixture to cows for better bioavailability

• Community drinking water trough can be arranged in community grazing areas
• Arrange water tankers
• Supply adequate drinking water
• Add Alum or bleaching powder in stagnated water bodies
• Restrict wallowing of animals in water bodies/resources
• Provide clean drinking water • To prevent worm infestation,
avoid animals to drink water from stagnated water resources

wherever revisable Health and disease management
• Deworming of livestock should be carried out
• Vaccination against HS,BQ, FMD in cattle, ET in Sheep and PPR in Goat
• All the livestock must be vaccinated against endemic diseases of the area.
• Procure and stock multivitamins and mineral mixture
• Surveillance and disease monitoring network be established at Animal Husbandry office in the Block
• To increase immunity provide area specific minerals and vitamins
• Sufficient quantity of Concentrate and Fodder be given
• Incidence of HS and BQ may occur, for that Medicines should made available
• Perform ring vaccination (8 Km radius) in case of any outbreak
• Carryout deworming and Vaccination of all animals before sending to relief camps.
• Restrict movements of livestock in case of any epidemic out break
• Lime powder should be sprinkled at the entrance of cattle relief camps, shed
• Tick control measures be undertaken to prevent tick borne diseases in livestock
• To prevent negative energy balance in advance pregnant animals additional 1 kg concentrate and mineral mixture should be given
• Inseminate the cows and Buffaloes according to health
• Keep close surveillance on disease outbreak
• Undertake the Vaccination depending on need especially against H.S., BQ, FMD, Enterotoxaemia and PPR
• Keep the animal housed clean and spray disinfectants in animal shed
• Avoid tieing of animals on slippery hard floor, otherwise may leas to dislocations, fractures, Lumbar, Paralysis etc.
• To avoid Laminitis, do not keep animals more than 36 hours in watery places
• Deworm the livestock • Anti stress medicines
should be given • Vit E 2 gm and Zinc 1.2 gm
in advance pregnancy and early lactation cows and buffaloes

35
Suggested contingency measures Before the events During the event After the event Drought Recovery from damage
wherever revisable Shelter/environment management
• Length of the Cattle/Sheep and Goat shed should be in between 25 to 30 feet for better ventilation
• The asbestos roof should be 2.5 feet outside the shed, so that sunlight and rain does not enter in the shed directly
• Plantation of fast growing trees like Bambo in south and west area
• Keep the shed clean and dry • To avoid Blood Protozoan
infestation, ticks eradication Programme be undertaken
• Provide clean and dry shelter
• Provide ventilation to shed as suggested in before the event
• Loose housing system be followed in livestock
• To avoid Blood Protozon infestation, ticks irradication Programme be taken
• Follow suggested contingency given in before the event
• Due to cloudy environment there are chances of epidemic of HS and BQ in cattle. To avoid this vaccinate the animals in time
