MANAGEMENT OF LIVESTOCK FARM
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Livestock Prod needs investment than Agriculture (FAO, 2000)
Sustained flow of benefits are always challenging from livestock
enterprises
Despite financial constraints and lack of proper manpower, we
have tried to get income upto 1.4 M
Pooled resources (Since 2007) under Director Farms have given
some higher boost to income
Latest innovations has made further improvements
Now income has gone up, calf mortality in under control,
breeding plans have been in place, & heifers are ready for
replacements
Management is a full time job, I still recommend to have a full
time Farm Officer
Primarily on good management and Manager abilities counts

WHAT IS MANAGEMENT?
•
•
•

Create the Problem and solve it
Proactive and don’t let any
problem arise at Dept, or may be
a Farm
Rise at occasion at right time
Put bullocks before the cart

is fodder of lean period
• It’s digestibility could have been improved, it was
best for can also go higher silage, digestibility and
palatability
• No Livestock Ext activities (Production and
management strategies)
