SLIDE 2 Indian Agriculture: Some Facts
> 17% of the world’s human and 12% livestock
population
2.3% of the world’s land 4.2% of the global water 142 ± 2 m ha cultivated land of which only 60 m ha
is irrigated
137% cropping intensity Land, water and biodiversity is fast shrinking. 52% of
population, particularly rural, earns its livelihood from agriculture
which the contribution of LS is fast increasing

Livestock (LS) Plays Important Role in
Food & Nutritional Security Sustainable Agriculture Organic Farming and NRM Inclusive growth & gender equity Rural development
SLIDE 4
LS Sector (Inclusive of Poultry & Fishery)
Support overall agricultural growth Enhance National GDP/GVA & Economy Provide social security & cultural heritage Serve as moving bank for farmers More resilient to climatic shocks

Source of employment to 70% of rural people Contribute about 40% of agricultural GDP globally 50% or more in mountainous, arid/semi-arid regions Serve as cushion to sustain agricultural GDP Growth in LS sector was more 1.6% more than crop
sector in 1990s and 2000s
Contribute 4-5% to National GDP and about 28% to
agricultural GDP

Protein Requirement in Human Diet
60 Gram Per Person Per Day From Livestock Origin: 25 gram/Person/Day Availability is about half only Calls for doubling the production of milk, egg,
meat and fish
SLIDE 7
Milk is largest agricultural commodity in India
Produced 146.3 MT in 2014-15, 155.5 MT in 2015-16,
163.74 MT in 2016-17
Contributed 20.4% in value term to agriculture as a
whole in 2014-15
It valued more than the value of all cereal & pulse
crops combined
LS production was found to be more stable than
crop production (1980-81 to 2009-10)
SLIDE 8
Livestock for sustainable agriculture
Livestock is best Supplementary/Complementary
enterprise
Waste of one sector is used as Input by the other
sector
Low input output-based Animal Husbandry has
sustained since centuries
No suicides by Farmers keeping livestock LS, Poultry, Fishery & Horticulture best options for
sustainable agricultural growth
SLIDE 9
Livestock for Inclusive Growth
Rural Urban Disparity in Incomes Livestock Distribution is more Egalitarian than Land
Distribution
80% of Farming Families own 75% of Livestock
Resources
Livestock contribute nearly half of the income of
small holders and land less farmers
Reduction in Rural Poverty is more responsive to
growth in LS Sector than in Crop Sector
Livestock growth is Pro poor About 70% of total workers engaged in Livestock
are women

SLIDE 13 Livestock Population and Production
According to the 19th Livestock census (2012), the total livestock population of India is 512.05 million besides about 729.2 million poultry. Out of this population, large ruminants account for 58.56% (299.9 million) while small ruminant constitute around 39.1% (200.22 million) of the total livestock population. Pigs number 10.29 million, camels 0.40 million, equines 1.13million, dogs 11.67 million, mithun 0.29 million, yaks 0.07 million, rabbits 0.592 million and elephants 0.002 million. Livestock production and crop production are intrinsically linked, each being dependent on the other, and both are crucial for overall food and nutritional security in addition to providing employment and incomes to small and marginal farmers and landless laborers. According to estimates of the Central Statistics Office (CSO), the value of output from livestock sector at current prices is about INR 5,91,691 crore (2015-16), which is about 28.5% of the value of output from agricultural and allied
- sectors. This does not include draught animal power, dung and meat fully
and their inclusion would raise the contribution of livestock above 40 %.

In 1964-65 rice production was 39.3 mmt which increased to 106 mmt in the year 2016-17 The corresponding increase in milk production was from 17 mmt to 163.74 mmt. Milk group has the highest contribution to the livestock
In 2014-15, the value of milk and milk products was more than sum of value of wheat, rice, pulses and all other cereals.

Milk accounts for 9.2% and 12.4% of protein intake in rural and urban areas, respectively Important source of Ca, Mg, P, K, Iodine, Se, Vitamin A, D, B12, K, Riboflavin, Biotin, Pantothenic acid
- 1. Calcium: Improves bone health, hypertension, colonic
anticarcinogenic
- 2. Carotenoids: anti-oxidant, vision improvement
- 3. SCFA (Butyric acid): regulation of cell growth & anti-
tumor activity
- 4. Lactose: development of brain, prebiotic
- 5. Milk and whey proteins minor components and bioactive
peptides have therapeutic values

Egg Production: Poultry production in India has taken a quantum leap in the last four decades, emerging from backyard farming practice to commercial production system with state-of-the art technological interventions Currently the total Poultry population in our country is 729.21 million (as per 19th Livestock Census) and egg production is around 82.93 billion 2015-16. The per capita availability (2015-16) is around 66 eggs per annum. The poultry meat production is estimated to be 3.26 million tones.
