DEVELOPMENT OF LIVESTOCK SECTOR AND ITS BENEFITS
The animal husbandry sector is developing very fast. It provides large self employment opportunities. This sector plays a very important role in the rural economy.
Dairy farming has become an important source of income for millions of rural families. Poultry farming is another source of income. It provides employment to about 1.5 million people in India. Livestock also provides occupation to a large section of the society particularly to the people living in the drought prone and hilly areas. Livestock provides proteins and nutrition in human diet through food items like milk, eggs , meat, etc.
Animal husbandry practices have proved to be an boon for sustaining the livelihood of the farmers. One fifth of the world's cattle population is in India, but most of the cattle in our county are underfeed because the majority of farmers who maintain cattle are very poor. They cannot afford to buy proper fodder.
The livestock sector of India exports dairy, fishery, wool, poultry and such products. Thus, livestock is our national wealth and we must take good care of them.
