Livestock and Poultry

Veterinary and Animal Husbandry:

Development of animal husbandry is an essential feature as livestock plays a pivotal role particularly in the state's rural economy. A large number of small and marginal farmers, agricultural labourers and other economically weaker sections depend upon livestock for gainful employment.

The primary objective of animal husbandry development activities is to augment animal based products like milk, meat, egg, wool, hide and skins etc. Inorder to ensure a steady growth of these livestock and poultry products and also by-products, the department of Veterinary and Animal Husbandry Services has taken up development programmes such as (i) animal health and disease control, ii) cattle development, iii) pig breeding, iv) poultry development, v) feed and fodder development and vi) dairy development and milk supply schemes.
