Diversification of agricultural production with emphasis on livestock is considered as one of the most effective pathways to enhance agricultural growth and reduce poverty. The data used for the study are entirely based on secondary source period of 15 years (1996- 97 to 2010- 2011). Major exportable animal products, buffalo meat, animal casings, dairy product, sheep and goat meat and poultry meat have been selected for the study. The trend analysis of export of animal products suggests that all products selected for the study showed an increasing trend. Indian animal products are highly protected in the international market as depicted by Nominal Protection Coefficient. Malaysia, Lebanon and Jordan markets were found to be highly co-integrated with respect to buffalo meat pricing, while Germany, South Africa and Lebanon markets were highly price integrated with respect to animal casings. Singapore, Bangladesh and Pakistan were co-integrated on one hand; Philippines and Egypt were cointegrated on the other while Philippines, Pakistan and UAE were co-integrated in the third plain with respect to importing of dairy products from India. In case of sheep and goat meat trade, Seychelles and UAE were found to be co-integrated, Oman and Seychelles were also found to have co-integration, Saudi Arabia and Seychelles also were found to have co-integrated. In case of poultry meat trade, Pakistan and Angola; Denmark and Germany; Japan, Germany and Thailand markets were found to have co-integration.Thesis
