GUJARAT LIVESTOCK DEVELOPMENT BOARD

The state of Gujarat being the leading industrial state of the country, it is quite amazing for Gujarat to possess a place among leading states in the country so far as livestock wealth and development are concerned. As a matter of fact the state of Gujarat is blessed by nature to have diversified ecology in the form of habitat of many unique animal species like Kankrej and Gir cattle, Mehsani, Surati, Jaffarabadi and Banni buffalo, Asiatic lion, Gudkhar wild ass, Flamingo etc. The state also provides substantial livelihood to the people by Animal Husbandry. Dairy Farming being the main activity in Animal Husbandry, state boasts of the most vibrant dairy industry and well established dairy infrastructure in the country. The entrepreneurial spirit of people of the Gujarat, be it in a Private, Co-operative or Public sectors is best expressed in the field of Animal husbandry too. AMUL, the most successful consumer brand, is the prime example of the entrepreneurial endeavour of the people of Gujarat, Which is explained by 42.66 lacs families dependant on livestock as primary or secondary source of income.

In our state, 11.21 lacs animal keeping families are from tribal area whose major source of income is animal husbandry. With the help of Planning Commission-Government of India and Government of Gujarat, GLDB is implementing the Breed Improvement Programme in 43 tribal Talukas of state. Out of Rs. 10631.00 lacs provided under BIP, GLDB has utilized Rs. 6416.74 lacs and achieved 60.35% financial target under various components of BIP. As compared to the year 2013-14, 2014-15 has seen noticeable increase (10.99%) in Artificial Insemination (AI) by 684 Gopalmitra centres across the state which has generated self employment to unemployed rural youths. During 2014-15, GLDB has achieved 2,42,875 AI in the state. State Frozen Semen Production and Training Institute (SFSPTI) - Patan has produced 18,04,795 Frozen Semen Doses (FSD) of various breeds during 2014-15 and supplied Frozen Semen Doses to AI centers of state government and Gopalmitra centers. Training institute of SFSPTI - Patan and Technical Training Centre (TTC) - Morbi has imparted training to 167 administrative staff of department, refreshers training to 235 existing AI workers and Basic AI training to 136 private AI workers. Having all these efforts harnessed, our motto is to make Gujarat a leading state among milk producing states of India. I would like to appreciate and congratulate all the officers and employees of GLDB for their sincere efforts in preparation of Annual report 2014-15.

2. ABOUT GUJARAT LIVESTOCK DEVELOPMENT BOARD (GLDB) - GANDHINAGAR

Gujarat Livestock Development Board was established in the year 2002, with prime objective to promote scientific breeding of Cattle and Buffalo in the State. GLDB was established as a State Implementing Agency (SIA) for implementation of National Project for Cattle and Buffalo Breeding (NPCBB). Providing door step AI services to the animal owners, being the prime objective, GLDB provides required inputs for development of infrastructure facilities for efficient AI services. It also provides assistance in distribution of Frozen Semen Doses, LN2 transport and related ancillary facilities to the AI centers of the Department of AH and private AI centers established by GLDB as Gopalmitra centers in entire state. GLDB extends AI services through 684 Gopalmitra centers and 4 Cattle and Breeding Farms throughout the State. GLDB is implementing Breed Improvement Programme in tribal areas of the state to conserve indigenous breeds, enhance production of milch animals and educate people associated with animal husbandry. Under this project GLDB has organized fertility improvement camps, established AI centres and LN2 depots and carried out extension activities in the 43 tribal talukas of the state. Under National Dairy Plan–I GLDB is implementing Strengthening of Semen Station – Patan project approved by World Bank through NDDB - Anand. GLDB plays a key role in conservation, breeding and improvement of indigenous breeds of Cattle and Buffalo through Cattle Breeding Farms located at Bhutvad, Rajkot (for Gir cattle); Mandavi, Surat (for Kankrej cattle); Thara, Banaskantha (for Kankrej cattle) and Bhuj, Kutch (for Kankrej cattle). GLDB also plays vital role in conservation, breeding and improvement of Banni buffalo, recently identified as independent buffalo breed by NBAGR - Government of India, at Buffalo Breeding Farm – Bhuj, Kutch. The State Frozen Semen Production and Training Institute - Patan, equipped with state of the art technology and infrastructure, produces Frozen Semen Doses and supplies them under stringent quality norms. It has been accredited as Grade “A” institute by Central Monitoring Unit constituted by Government of India. It has achieved substantial growth in production and sale of high quality Frozen Semen Doses during 2014-15. It has also supplied Frozen Semen Doses to various state and national agencies for their breeding programme. The Training Institutes of Morbi and Patan are instrumental in providing manpower development under centrally sponsored NPCBB project and RKVY schemes of Department of Animal Husbandry, Government of Gujarat. They have organized various training programmes for Para-vet workers, Private AI workers, Livestock Inspectors and Officers of Department of Animal Husbandry, Gujarat. GLDB is implementing Livestock Insurance Scheme to safeguard the economic losses suffered by livestock owners against eventual loss of their valuable animals. At present, total 15 Districts of the state are covered under the scheme.

CBF - Thara is to be upgraded for Kankrej cattle and CBF - Mandavi is to be upgraded for Mehsani buffalo. Construction at BMF - Thara

(2) Establishment of new AI centres Under this component 340 AI centres were established in tribal districts by 6 District Co-operative Milk Producer’s Unions to increase the coverage of AI services in tribal belt of state.

(3) Establishment of mobile AI centres 43 vehicles (LMV) were put on outsourcing basis as mobile AI centres in 43 tribal talukas to provide quality AI services to the farmers at their door step.

(4) Establishment of LN2 depot and purchase of two tanker vehicles with cryogenic tank for transportation of LN2 To make LN2 available throughout the year, 3 LN2 silos of 10,000 litres capacity were established during the year 2014-15 by GLDB in tribal districts of the state.

(VIII) Livestock Insurance Scheme (LIS)

The scheme was launched by Central Government with 100% central assistance in year 2005-06 with objective to safeguard animal owners against economic loss due to death of their productive animals. In Gujarat, the scheme was launched in 2006-07, initially covering 6 districts of the state. At present, total 15 Districts are covered under the scheme. They are Banaskantha, Sabarkantha, Mehsana, Ahmedabad, Panchamahal, Kheda, Vadodara, Surat, Navsari, Valsad, Dang, Bhavanagar, Junagadh, Rajkot and Kutch.

The scheme provides 50% subsidy on the cost of premium, up to 2 milch animals per household for one year and three years insurance coverage.

(IX) Genome Sequencing for the breeds of Gir cattle and Jaffarabadi buffalo

The project on Genome Sequencing of Gir cattle and Jaffarabadi buffaloes was initiated with the objective to identify Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNPs) in the genome that are responsible for production, reproduction, disease resistance and other important traits in two indigenous breeds that are Gir cattle and Jaffarabadi buffalo. These SNPs will be used as molecular marker for breed identification, control of inherited genetic disorders and


15

selection of animals in early stages of life. Anand Agricultural University, Anand is the implementing agency of this project.

In this project whole genome sequencing is being performed using three advance platforms of sequencing technology viz. GS-FLX 454 Sequencer, Miseq Illumina Sequencer and Ion Torrent PGM Sequencer.

Till today, Total 12 sequencing runs have been completed on Miseq Illumina Sequencer, 18 sequencing runs on GSFLX-454 Sequencer and 4 sequencing runs on Ion Torrent PGM Sequencer. A total of 162.79 Gb data generated from different sequencing platforms viz. 150.23 Gb from Miseq Illumina Sequencer, 7.68 Gb from GS-FLX 454 Sequencer and 4.88 Gb from Ion Torrent PGM Sequencer. A total of 296.33 million reads generated from different sequencing platforms viz. 255.12 million reads from Miseq Illumina Sequencer, 23.314 million reads from GS-FLX 454 Sequencer and 17.90 million reads from Ion Torrent PGM Sequencer.
