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
