Why investing in livestock sector ?

Demand for livestock products is increasing

Technologies for increasing production and processing are available

Processed food is in demand Cost of production and profitability issue Export market in Gulf and South-East Asia International subsidies are lowering Niche markets

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- Rural subsistence small holdings - Rural market oriented small holdings- Rural commercial farming- Peri-urban commercial dairying

Sheep and Goats- Nomadic- Transhumant- Sedentary / household

Poultry- 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
