Livestock in Rajasthan

The main wealth of the desert lands of the west and north consists in the vast herds of camels, horned cattle, and sheep which roam over the sandy wastes and thrive admirably in the dry climate”.

Livestock breeds originating in Rajasthan form basis of livestock industry in other countries. (Example; Tharparkar, Kankrej, Gir cattle)

Have even proven superior to exotic breeds (Example: Sirohi goat versus exotic Swiss goats)

Raika also keep Nari Cattle- Undocumented breed

Kept in large migratory herds

Immune to diseases, except FMD

Dual-purpose breed

Camel: on the way to

extinction

Camel population is on rapid

decline; thousands of female

camels are being sold for

slaughter at Pushkar market.

Due to improper feeding and no

grazing policy- we have less

productivity per animal

Owing to the climatic conditions

of Rajasthan- hard to maintain

exotic breeds like HF or Jersey

Indigenous breeds are more

suited to the climatic and

geographical condition and are

less disease prone but they need

to be reared properly

1. Increase number of

milch animals

2. Increase milk production

per animal
