Animal Husbandry1. Vision:

1.2 Present & Future Status of Important Livestock Products

Animal Husbandry sector plays a very important role in the economy of the

state. One third of the rural economy is dependant on this sector. Animal

Husbandry gives an opportunity for poverty eradication, development of

rural economy & alleviation of unemployment. Moreover, availability of

protein for human need, sufficient and incessant economic gain for rural

people and employment for unemployed youths depend upon the

multifaceted programmes ofAnimal Husbandry.

1.1 The Present milk production of the state is 6516 thousand MT per year. It has

been targeted to take this production level up to 10035 Thousand MT per year

by 2017 and to 14867 Thousand MT per year by 2022. The milk processing

capacity is presently 2060 thousand litres per day which has been targeted to

8260 (thousand Litres) per day by the year 2017 & 13160 Thousand Litres by

the year 2022. Presently the egg production in the state is 11002 Lakhs per

annum which has been targeted to reach 216000 Lakhs per annum by the year

2017 & 234000 Lakhs per annum by the year 2022.The present meat

production of the state is 218 thousand tone per annoum which has been

targeted to increase to 1314 thousand tonnes by the year 2017 & 1423.5

2. To achieve above mentioned goal government has given special attention tothe enhanchment of meat production capacity of cattle along withenhancement of milk processing capacity.Breed improvement of the cattle isthe priority of the state govt. For enhancement of the milk production AnimalBreeding policy has been formulated in which the entire state has been dividedinto nine zones and for each zone specific breed has been identified. On thebasis of the Breeding Policy, Artificial Insemination protocol will beimplemented. By this method there will definitely be the breed improvementof the cattle thereby increasing the productivity of crores of cattle. Comfedalong with other renounced institutions are being involved for achieving the goal. In addition to this the plan for establishment of cattle feed plant is beingtaken into consideration. For making availability of balance feed to the cattleone feed plant will be established at each block on PPPmode.

In the animal husbandry sector emphasis will be on ArtificialInsemination,Vaccination and Animal Feed.Goatry and poultry etc.programmes will be run at two levels.At the commercial levels Breedingprogrammes will be implemented and it will be distributed to poor people atthe livelihood levels.Milk processing will be emphasized and milkcooperative will be expanded and strengthened.In the fisheriessector,drainage scheme alongwith the construction of ponds scheme will beimplemented so that the water bodies could be suitably utilized.Fish seed andFish Feed programme will be given priority.

One Pashu Mitra will beemployed at Panchayat Level on contract basis. They will be trained inArtificial Insemination work and will be employed for A.I. work, consultantfor farmer and will also facilitate the departmental works. For thisRs. 24616.32 Lakh is proposed.

Under cattle and buffalo breedingprogramme state has formulated the breeding policy. For improvement ofbreed of cattle state has been divided into 9 zones and each zone has been fixedby specificed breed of cattle. On the basis of breeding policyA.I. protocol willbe executed. By this the breed of crores of cattle will be improved along withthe production capacity of the cattle. Under this programme A.I. will be doneby Non Governmental Organization on the basis of successful calf born.Every year Rs. 50 Lakh cattle will be covered under this A.I. programme. Forthis Rs. 100000 Lakh per year will be required and thus Rs. 500000 Lakh isexpected to expend during 5 years.

In the state 9.93 mio. MT dryfodder and 23.47 mio. MT green fodder and 5.48 mio. MT concentrate isdeficient. To cater to this gap establishment of feed factory at each block on 50percent subsidized rate on PPP mode is proposed. For this Rs. 17355 Lakh(subsidy) is proposed.

Dairy development is important for strengthening of the rural economy and for creation of rural employment.The milk production during 2005-06 wasonly 48.55 lakh MT, which has increased to 65.16 lakh MT,which is 5.44% ofthe country production. This constitutes 6.41 percent increase over the lastyear.During 2010-11 the per capita per day milk availability was 175 gram inBihar in comparison to the country average of 263 gram. Indian MedicalResearch Institute has recommended 220 gram milk per day per capita. Thisshows a gap of 45 gram per capita per day. The vision of the road map is tocover 60 percent villages in the milk cooperatives and to cover all milkproducers in the milk cooperative network. It is also envisaged to be amongthe first four milk procuring states of the country. The democratic nature ofthe milk coopearatives will be strengthened and it will be extended to alldistricts.

The strategy for organisation of dairy co-operative societies centres will begeographical expansion so as to spread the network.All the milk producers ofthe villages under co-operative network will be targeted for bringing themunder dairy network. The operations of dairy co-operative society will bemade transparent by installation of automatic milk collection units which willtest the quality of milk in the presence of milk pourer.

Breed improvement of the milch animals will be taken up through artificialinsemination with quality frozen semen. This service will be provided at thedoorstep of the milk producer by village youth who will be trained at thetraining centres of COMFED or other organisations of repute. Theinseminations done will be recorded for accessing the impact of AI programand formulation of policies.

Fodder production will be taken up in the villages by providing breeder andfoundation seed with assured buy back of the seed produced which will beused for fodder production. Cattle feed plants will be installed in the area ofoperation of milk unions so that regular supply of quality feed can bemaintained. All the cattle feed plants will be equipped with technology forformaldehyde treatment for increased availability of rumen un-degradableprotein for animals. Mineral mapping of the State will be done again so thatfor each district the cattle feed plants can produce specific mineral mixture.The natural calamities will be faced through establishment of fodder banksnear flood prone areas where fodder blocks will also be stored. 75

3. Physical target: The key physical targets are as follows:

The milk processing capacity will be created in the milk sheds based on theirestimated potential during next five years. The present milk processingcapacity of co-operative sector in the State is 10.60 lakh kgs per day. The on-going work for establishment of plants will add 6.0 lakh capacity duringcurrent year. Keeping in view the seasonal fluctuations during summer andwinter months for projected milk procurement of 44.0 lakh kgs, additionalplant capacity of 50.00 lakh kgs will be created in phased manner. The oldplants will be automated so as to make the operations cost effective. Theseasonal fluctuations will be dealt with the help of powder plants which willconvert surplus milk into milk powder for later use or sale. The bulk milkcoolers will be installed at strategic locations in or near diara area so that milkfrom these areas can be accepted till late hours and also in rainy season. Thestrategy for milk marketing will be to reach near the consumer and maintainquality of milk through cold chain. Public-Private-Partnership model will beused for setting upASTM (Bulk Milk Vending Machines) and whole day milkbooths. The grocery shops in lanes will be made retailers of milk and milkproducts and equipment for maintaining cold chain will be provided.

The milk producers will be trained in DCS Operation and ManagementCommittee Orientation in the training centres within the State. The ArtificialInsemination Training will be provided in COMFED's training centre and atother training centres of repute outside the State. In villages AwarenessPrograms will be conducted so that farmers can know about dairy co-operative network and basics of animal husbandry. The milk producers willbe sent to other States also who have done good work in dairy development sothat our producers can learn by seeing things. The union personnel will be sentfor specialised trainings in institutions of repute. To manage this entireoperation, specialised manpower will be utilised on contract basis andmonitoring will be done through state of the art Enterprise Resource PlanningSystem.

5.1 Organisation of Dairy Co-operative Societies (DCS):

5.2 Manpower Development :

Dairy Co-operative

Societies will be organised to give an impetus to milk production and

collection,providing artificial insemination facilities and inputs to the farmers

for increasing farmer's income through dairying.Atotal of 12,000 DCS will be

organised @ Rs. 35.00 thousand per DCS and total expenditure is expected to

be Rs. 4862.03 lakh during 2016-17.

Capacity building of farmers in latest techniques

of animal husbandry and animal health, nutrition etc. helps them manage these

animals better and get better output. It has been proposed to enhance the

capacity of training centres and also encourage private entrepreneurs to set up

centres where we can send our milk producers for training and skill

upgradation. These centres will provide training on society organisation, and

artificial insemination to the management committee members. It has also

been proposed to arrange visit of farmers to other States like Punjab and

Gujarat to acquaint them with improved practices so as to replicate them.

Besides this, training on specialised programmes will be arranged at other

specialised training centres or outsourced training centres. At village level,

awareness programmes will be organised to popularise the co-operative

society model among villagers and induce them under dairy network. A total

of 2.52 lakh farmers will participate under various training programmes. The

management and implementation of this project will require skilled

manpower having specialisation. It has been proposed to take services of such

persons as per need. A total of 38,000 members will be trained and a sum of

Rs. 15396.41 lakh have been proposed for this scheme during 2012-17.

To generate the rural employment & increase the

socio-economic condition of the farmer, dairy farming scheme is being

implemented the state. Under this scheme upgraded/cross breed animals are

procured and supplied to the farmers. During the year 2012-17 a sum of Rs.

12567.18 lakh have been proposed for dairy farming scheme. Under this

scheme Laghu dairy, Mini dairy and Midi dairy will be established.

Since last three years emphasis has been given

on the installation of bulk milk coolers (BMC) at village level and it has given

good results. With the installation of BMCs it has been possible to collect

milk from remote villages also. About 150 bulk milk coolers and eight

chilling centres with total chilling capacity of around 660 TLPD are functional

at present in the villages / towns. It has been proposed to set up 230 new bulk

coolers of 5000 litres capacity and 115 new bulk milk coolers of 10000 litres

capacity in the villages till 2016-17. This will be augmented by addition of 120

bulk milk coolers of 5000 litres per day capacity and 60 bulk milk coolers of

10000 litres per day capcity.In diara area, milk is usually available in

abundance but its movement and quality are the major challenges. Milk is

brought by the farmers through boat and according to their convenience rather

than following the DCS timings. Mapping of diara belt to establish bulk milk

coolers at strategic locations is proposed so that milk coming from diara area

could be tapped and chilled immediately to maintain the milk quality.Asum of

Rs. 8520.12 lakh has been proposed for this scheme.

The milkotester automatically tests the quality of

milk. It ensures proper payment of milk value to the farmer based on its quality

and thus increases transparency in the operations at DCS. It has been

proposed to install 12000 electronic milkotesters with solar battery in DCS

2016-17.

This scheme will

automate the processes of milk weighment, its testing and book keeping at the

DCS level. The farmer gets a slip depicting the quantity of milk supplied, its

quality and amount that the farmer would be getting. This has increased the

confidence of the farmers in the system and has resulted in increased milk

collection at the DCS. It is proposed to install 6000 automatic milk collection

units in dairy co-operative societies by 2016-17. For this scheme a sum of Rs.

8334.90 lakh have been proposed.

Under this scheme improvement of quality

and shelf life of milk will result in easy transportation from remote areas to

urban area.Asum of Rs. 4800.00 lakh have been proposed for this scheme and

600 units of milk collection centre will be established during 2012-17

Under this programme progress of the scheme

sanctioned under R.K.V.Y and also evaluation of the performance & benefit

by third agency will be implemented in the State.Asum of Rs. 205.81 lakh has

been proposed during 2012-17.

Bihar is endowed with vast and varied inland aquatic resources viz rivers,canal, reservoirs, ox-bow-lakes, flood plains (chaur), ponds and tanks.Fisheries is a traditional profession in rural areas which involves both skilledand unskilled workers.The paradox of fisheries development in Bihar is that while it has large, untapped and underutilized water resources for aquaculture,there is a large gap between the demand and domestic fish production. Theannual domestic demand of fish within the state is nearly 5.2 lakh tonnes,against the present annual production of around 2.88 lakh tones only. Thebalance requirement is largely met through supply of fishes from other statesespecially 1.5 lakh MT from Andhra Pradesh.The traditional fish culture,thepreponderance of carps,lack of skilled and professional manpower,lack ofproduction and use of fish seed and feed,weak extension,Flood anddrought,multi ownership of water bodies,social conflict eg ownership andsharing conflict,fish theft.poisioning,siltation of water bodies are the majorconstraints of fisheries in the state.There is vast underutilized water resourcesin the state.There is vast scope for expansion of fish culture.Bihar is endowedwith large water bodies viz. ponds (80000 Ha.) where catch fisheries ispopular.Fish production can be substantially increased by popularizing fishculture.This will help to create gainful employment for fish farmers andimprove availability of cheap protein source for rural population.This willensure livelihood promotion and income stability in rural areas in addition tothe nutritional security and diversity of the rural population.Avibrant fisheriessector will add to the state economy and help strengthen rural economy.In thecontext explained above the vision of this road map will be to increase fishproduction three times through adoption of ecosystem and communityparticipation based aquaculture and management of fisheries resources.
