Abstract
Livestock is an integral part of India’s agricultural economy and plays a multifaceted role in providing livelihood support to the rural population. Livestock sector apart from contribution to national economy in general and to agricultural economy in particular, also provides employment generation opportunities, asset creation, coping mechanism against crop failure, social and financial security.
With this backdrop the present study is undertaken with the following specific objectives.
• To know the changes and variation in livestock population in Madhya
Pradesh.
• To measure the changes in composition of livestock population in Madhya
Pradesh.
• To assess the changes in milk and meat production of livestock in Madhya
Pradesh.
• To suggest policy implication for development of livestock sector in
Madhya Pradesh.
A positive change on population of cattle crossbred male and female in Madhya Pradesh was found and more changes were observed in crossbred female then male. The negative changes were found on population of cattle indigenous female under one to three years age group while in other groups changes in positive direction.
The positive changes in population of female buffalo were found but it is only 8 per cent. A negative relative change in milk and dry purpose subgroup was found.
The negative change was found in population of sheep of both crossbred and indigenous except male of under one and more year (120.60 per cent).
Overall it could be concluded that there was a negative change in the population of pig crossbred and indigenous in Madhya Pradesh.
There was positive change in all the groups of male and female goat in Madhya Pradesh except one year and more male group and dry purpose female subgroup.
The population of camel under all the subgroup of male and female were found negative change and coefficient of variation varied from 19.01 to
80.16.
Negative change was found in the year 2012 over the 2003 in male (49.72 per cent) and female (20.48 per cent) in the population of horse and ponies in Madhya Pradesh.
The population of mules in Madhya Pradesh was found a positive change, where as the population of donkeys was negative change.
Overall 42.63 per cent changes were found in milk production of crossbred and indigenous cow in Madhya Pradesh.
There was a positive change in milk production of cow, buffalo and goat during 2008-09 to 2012-13 in Madhya Pradesh.
Average yield of crossbred cow milk per animal was found 0.85 kg per day and above 14 per cent change from 2008-09 to 2012-13.
The average yield of milk per animal was found positive change (30 per cent) in Madhya Pradesh.
Average yield of milk per animal was 3.49 kg per day (2008-09) and it was change to 3.8 kg in the year 2012-13 and percentage change was 8.88.
A positive change was found in number of animal slaughtered in buffalo, sheep and goat except pig i.e 0.4 per cent.
The yield levels of milk for cows and buffalos would be improved through genetic up gradation through cross breeding, selective breeding and converting unproductive animals to productive. Improvement in quality and quantity of meat is also needed.
By promoting and disseminating the technologies developed by the research system efforts, to improve the productivity of milk and meat production. Efforts would be made by the concerned agencies to adoption of technologies for development of livestock sector.
