Importance of Animal Husbandry

With the rise in population, the demand for food – meat, eggs, and milk – rises. To be able to meet the rising demands, there has to be a way to increase food production. Animal husbandry in India plays a vital role in narrowing the gap between supply and demand.

The climate of India is suitable for sheep farming. It requires little investment and offers good returns in a short period. Moreover, it is a great source of income for landless and marginal farmers.
An integral part of crop farming, animal husbandry contributes to household national security.
Better breeding and various practices provide better yield and boost GDP.

Animal husbandry boosts livestock production, which can be utilized in the following ways –

Dairy products – cheese, yogurt, ghee, butter
Meat – a source of energy and dietary protein
Land management – livestock grazing can be a way to control the growth of grass and weeds. In areas that are prone to wildfires, sheep and goats are set to graze on dry shrubs to reduce the risk of fire.
Fibre – wool produced from goats and sheep, leather obtained from sheep and deer
Labour – domesticated animals like horses, yaks, and donkeys can be used for mechanical energy. Livestock was the only source of non-human labor available before the invention of steam power. A large section of people is still dependent on these animals for plowing and transportation of goods.
Fertilizer – spreading manure on agricultural fields increases crop yields. This is one of the reasons, why the domestication of animals and plants has been associated closely. Manure can also be used as fuel for the fire.

Government Schemes Related to Animal Husbandry

The government schemes primarily comprise various acts, missions, and rules.

The National Livestock Mission covers all sorts of activities essential to guarantee a qualitative and quantitative improvement in livestock production systems and capacity building of the stakeholders. The objective of the scheme is to achieve sustainable development of livestock and focus on improving the availability of quality feed and fodder.
The National Programme for Bovine Breeding and Dairy Development was initiated by merging four ongoing schemes of the Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairy, and Fisheries, namely National Project for Cattle and Buffalo Breeding, Strengthening Infrastructure for Quality and Clean Milk Production, Assistance to Co-operatives, and Intensive Dairy Development Programme. The objective was to integrate dairy activities and milk production in a holistic and scientific manner, to meet higher levels of productivity and demand in the country.

With continuous inflation, rising population, and a major portion of rural India depending primarily on agriculture, the practice of animal husbandry is no longer a choice but a requirement. Its skillful, sustainable, and successful implementation will go a long way in enhancing the socio-economic condition of the lower strata of our society. Associating animal husbandry with agriculture and the food processing industry has the potential of turning India into the world’s nutritional powerhouse.
