2.5 Contingent strategies for Livestock, Poultry & Fisheries

2.5.1 Livestock

Suggested contingency measuresDrought Before the event During the event After the eventFeed andfodderavailability

Conservation of green fodder as silage dry fodder as hayin flush season for utilization in lean period

Dry fodder available should be processed i.e. Ureatreatment of crop residues to enhance their nutritivevalue. For this inputs such as training of livestockowners, material like urea, polythene sheet etc may beprovided free of cost to the livestock owners.

Judicial use of available feed resources by the livestockowners.

Non conventional feed resources such as Neem seedCake/ Sal seed Meal/ Mango seed Kernels/ Babul podsetc should be collected and stored.

Concentrate ingredients such as Grains, brans, chunnies& oilseed cakes, low grade grains, Govt. Godownswastes, grains unfit for human consumption etc. shouldbe procured for productive animals.

Urea molasses mineral blocks (UMMB) may be reservedwith NDDB, Anand, Gujarat for emergency supply asconcentrate.

Sugarcane bagasse, cane tops and molasses formimportant byproducts. Sugarcane bagasse- is animportant feed resource for ruminants.

Tree leaves are easily available. Leaves of neem, mango,banyan, pipal, babul, subabul, mahuva, etc. can be usedas green fodder. Tree leaves are good source of protein,calcium, Vitamin A and hence should be reserved forfeeding during drought.

Cactus is primarily found in deserts hence it is easilyavailable during scarcity also. As such it is not used forfeeding animals but during scarcity it can be used.

Mineral mixture should be procured and stored forsupply.

2.5.3 Fisheries/ Aquaculture

Suggested contingency measures

Before the event During the event After the event

1) Drought

A. Capture

Marine Not applicable

Inland

(i) Shallow water depthdue to insufficientrains/inflow

Need to implement cost-effectivewater efficiency and conservationmeasures in very early stage tohandle the drought.

Strategic plan should be made toconstruct bunds & conserve water indrought prone areas.

In severe drought condition Most of the stockcan be harvested immediately while Someportion of the local aquatic species should betransfer to the less affected areas so as toconserve them and reintroduce in its regionalhabitat.

Water policies should be determined If wewant to restore our inland fishery resources.

Need to set up hatcheries for drought affectedfish species to avoid their extinction, and theconserved species once again need to bereintroduced in their original habitats afterachieving desired aquatic environment.

(ii) Changes in waterquality

Regular monitoring of water quality Need to harvest the stock to minimize economiclosses before mass mortality due to undesiredwater quality.

After achieving desired water quality,conserved species once again need to bereintroduced in their original habitats.

48

48

(iii) Any other Gene bank should be made for allindigenous local commercially &ecologically important species.

To conserve the endangered species breedingand rearing indoor facility may be created forfuture restoration.

The conserved species once again need to bereintroduced in their original habitats afterachieving desired aquatic environment.

B. Aquaculture

(i) Shallow water in pondsdue to insufficientrains/inflow

Water temperature may get raised andalso Dissolved Oxygen level may getdeclined, hence efforts should madeto increase the depth of pond & avoidwater seepage by using bentoniteclay, plastic liners etc.

Also artificial oxygenation systems asaerators etc. should be incorporated inaquaculture system.

Water recycling with the aid of potentialfiltration systems can be applied if available.Provide artificial oxygenation. If water level istoo much low, can lead to mass mortality due toenvironmental stress hence it will be better toharvest the stock immediately.

Construction of small reservoirs or damsshould be newly developed in drought pronearea.

Identifying culturable air breathing species /hardy species (e.g. Notopterus, Clarius,Puntius etc.) suitable to the regional aquaticenvironment.

(ii) Impact of salt loadbuild up in ponds /change in water quality

Throughout the culture period salinity& other parameters should be checkedfor regular intervals. Fresh waterstorage ponds should be developed ataquaculture site.

Fresh water from the storage ponds can beutilized for maintaining salinity.

Identifying best suitable euryhaline spp.(Pearl spot, Sea bass, Rabbit fish , mulletsetc.) for the culture which can tolerate widerange of salinity.
