Identify livestock and dairy production areas, determine if
they show comparative advantage and identify the major
problems and constraints in the specified areas;
Develop a database for different animal species and breeds
with specific reference to production and processing potential;
Identify the requirements and parameters for restructuring
and reforming post-production technologies and operations
related to livestock and dairy products, including milk, mutton,
beef and by-product business in the private sector;
Review previous work undertaken in the dairy and livestock
sub-sectors and assess lessons learned and ways to benefit
form such work;

Livestock Production Constraints










Unavailability of superior germplasm
Inadequate feed resources (short by 30%)
Epidemics of infectious diseases
Livestock herd structure
Un-organized farmers and lack of lobbying
Poor marketing infrastructure
Low investment by government (<1% of PSDP)
Poor institutional infrastructure
Inadequate regulatory framework
Unavailability of credit to the livestock farmers
(11% of agricultural credit)
Livestock production systems

Buffaloes and Cattle

Sheep and Goats

Poultry
-
Rural subsistence small holdings
Rural market oriented small holdings
Rural commercial farming
Peri-urban commercial dairying
- Nomadic
- Transhumant
- Sedentary / household
- Traditional rural poultry
- Industrial poultry Production
Supply and Demand Issue





Demand for livestock products is increasing
Population growth rate and increased income
are the real reasons
Increase in red meat prices clearly indicate
supply gap
Tremendous scope of export (rising trend
each year)
Technology gap shows scope for increased
production
