    Dynamics of population and milk & meat production of goat in different agro climatic tegions of rajasthan
    (JNKVV, 2014) Baldodiya, Vijay Kumar; Sharma, Hari Om
    ABSTRACT The present investigation was conducted to study the Dynamics of Population and Milk & Meat Production of Goat in different Agro Climatic Regions of Rajasthan, which is very important for Rajasthan as well as India. Therefore, attempts were made to make critical examination of density of goat population and change, variation and growth of population and milk & meat production of goat during period of study (1998-2012). Time series secondary data on milk & meat production from 1998-2012 of goat were obtained from the data published by Directorate of Animal Husbandry and Fisheries, Government of Rajasthan. The population data of goat were obtained from last three livestock census of Rajasthan (1997, 2003 and 2007). For calculating density data on area of different agro climatic regions were obtained from state profile report. Density, Average Annual Growth Rate, Absolute Change, Relative Change, Standard Deviation, Coefficient of Variance, Trend, standard Error, Simple Growth Rate and t-test were used to achieve the objectives of the study. Major findings of the study revealed that, the density of goat population found to be increased from 49 goat/sq. km (1997) to 62 goat/sq. km (2007) in Rajasthan. The maximum increase of goat population was observed in Internal Drainage Dry Zone (76 to 102 goat/sq. km), as compare to other agro climatic regions. Results of Absolute Change, Relative Change and AAGR of goat population showed that goat population have positive trend in Rajasthan as well as in all agro climatic regions of Rajasthan. The goat population in Rajasthan was found to be increased 26.70 per cent with an annual growth rate of 2.43 per cent from 169.71 lac (1997) to 215.03 lac (2007). The maximum growth was observed Flood Prone Eastern Plains (4.55 %) and the Flood Prone Eastern Plains (50.08 %) showed maximum increased in goat population as compared as compare to other regions. Goat milk production in Rajasthan increased to 1656 thousand tons (current year) from 726.33 thousand tons (base year) showed 127.99 per cent change with a variation of 31.87 per cent during the study period (1998-2012). The maximum relative change and variation in goat milk production was found in Arid Western Plains (245.53%) and Humid Southern Plains (49.06%) and the maximum share of goat milk was found in Internal Drainage Dry Zone (17.93%) as compare to other regions. The production of goat milk increased with 6.43 per cent per annum of growth rate significantly with a magnitude of 67.79 thousand tons per year. The maximum growth and magnitude of goat milk production increased significantly in Arid Western Plain (8.97% /annum) and (17.16 thousand tons/year) respectively. The growth rate of goat milk production was found highly significant in Arid Western Plains, Hyper Arid partially Irrigated Zone and Transitional Plain of Luni Basin while non-significant in Flood Prone Eastern Plains and Irrigated Western Plain. The meat production of goat found to increased 123.47 per cent from 23.75 thousand tons (base year) to 53.07 thousand tons (current year) in Rajasthan with a variance of 32.08 per cent. The maximum relative change and variation in meat production of goat was found in Transitional Plain of Luni Basin (137.05 %) and Hyper Arid Partially Irrigated Zone (37.26 %) and maximum share of goat meat was found in Humid South Eastern Plain (17.60%) as compare to other regions. The production of goat meat showed increasing trend in state as well as all the agro climatic regions of Rajasthan. The production of goat meat increased significantly with a magnitude of 2.47 thousand tons per year with an annual growth rate of 6.93 per cent per annum. The maximum growth of goat meat production was found in Hyper Arid Partially Irrigated Zone (7.61%/ annum) and the maximum magnitude of goat meat production increased significantly in Humid South Eastern Plain (0.43 th. tons per year). The population of goats showed positive growth rate indicating farmers’ preference to these species for their livelihood; for further increase in population required continued and more vigorous institutional attention for their conservation. Nutritional and managemantal intervention are also essential to promote growth and earn more profit from goat rearing. It is suggested to policy maker to create modern production and market facilities in the state.
