Suggested contingency measures

Before the event During the event After the eventDroughtFeed andFodderavailability

As the district is frequently prone forfrequent drought, it should have reserves(feeding 5000 ACU (maintenance ration)for about 1-3 weeks period) of thefollowing at any point of the year formobilization to the needy areas

Silage:20-50 tUrea molasses mineral bricks(UMMB):50-100 tHay:100-250 tConcentrates: 20-50 tMinerals and vitaminsupplements mixture:1-5 t

Top dressing of N in 2-3 split doses @ 20-25 kg N/ha in CPRs with the monsoonpattern for higher biomass productionIncrease area under short duration foddercrops of sorghum/bajra/maize(UP chari,

Harvest and use all the failed crop (Rice, Bajra, Groundnut,jowar, maize) material as fodder. Harvest the top fodder(Neem, Subabul, Acasia, Pipol etc) and unconventionalfeeds resources available and use as fodder for livestock(LS).Stall fed the LS so as to reduce the energy requirements ofthe animalsSupply silage / hay to farmers with productive stock onsubsidized ratesMild drought: hay should be transported to the droughtaffected villagesModerate drought: hay, silage and vitamin & mineralsmixture should be transported to the drought affectedvillagesSevere drought: UMMB, hay, concentrates and vitamin &mineral mixture should be transported to the droughtaffected villages. All the hay should be enriched with 2%Urea molasses solution or 1% common salt solution and fed

Short duration fodder crops of Sorghum /Bajra / Maize (UP Chari, Pusa Chari, HC-136,HD-2/Rajkoo, Gaint Bajra, L-74, K-6677,Ananand / African tall, Kissan composite,Moti, Manjari, BI-7) should be sown inunsown and crop failed areasCapacity building to stake holders ondrought/flood mitigation in livestock sectorFlushing the stock to recoup

MP chari, HC-136, HD-2, GAINTBAJRA, L-74, K-677, Ananad/AfricanTall, Kisan composite, Moti, Manjari, B1-7Chopping of fodder should be made asmandatory in every village through supplyand establishment of good quality cropcutters.Avoid burning of maize stoverHarvesting and collection of perennialvegetation particularly grasses whichgrow during monsoonProper drying, bailing and densification ofharvested grassCreation of permanent fodder, feed andfodder seed banks in all drought pronevillagesCapacity building and preparedness of thestakeholders and official staff for theunexpected events

to LSHerd should be split and supplementation should be givenonly to the highly productive and breeding animalsProvision of emergency grazing/feeding (Cow-calf campsor other special arrangements to protect high productive &breeding stock)Encourage mixing available kitchen waste with dry fodderwhile feeding to the milch animalsArrangements should be made for mobilization of smallruminants across the districts where no drought exitsUnproductive livestock should to be culled during severedroughtCreate transportation and marketing facilities for the culledand unproductive animals (10000-20000 animals)Subsidized loans (5-10 crores) should be provided to thelivestock keepers

Cyclone Harvest all the possible wetted grain(Rice/maize/bajra/jowar/groundnut etc)and use as animal feed.As the district is chronically prone forcyclone, arrange for storing minimumrequired quantity of hay (25-50 kg) andconcentrates (10-25 kg) per animal infarmer’s / LS keepers house/ shed forfeeding during cyclone.Stock of anti-diarrheal drugs andelectrolytes should be made available foremergency transportDon’t allow the animals for grazing incase of early forewarning (EFW) ofcycloneIncase of EFW of severe cyclone, shift theanimals to safer places.
