Abstract
Livestock is an important component of IndiaĆ¢ s economy in terms
of Income, Employment Generation, and Nutritional security, equity
and foreign exchange earnings. In India, 69 per cent of the population
lives in rural areas with agriculture being their main occupation. Of
the total households in rural areas 73 per cent own livestock, notably
the majority of livestock population is reared by landless laborers,
migratory tribal, small and marginal farmers. The income from
livestock production accounts for 15 to 40 per cent of total farm
household income in different agro-climatic regions in India (Ranjhan,
1999). The total value of current output of livestock is about nine per
cent of IndiaĆ¢ s GDP at constant price and about 30.3 per cent of the
value of total agricultural output (Mathialagan, 2005).
