Animal Resources

Animal Husbandry Sector has plays prominent socio-economic role in Odisha. Livestock production had always been an integral part of the rural livelihood systems in Odisha.This Sector has also the highest potential for rural self-employment generation at the lowest possible investment per unit. Development of Livestock Sector therefore, is critical to rural prosperity. The livestock wealth of Odisha is impressive in numbers across all species constituting a natural resource base with immense livelihood implications, though the productivity levels have not yet reached at peak. 88% of all livestock are owned by marginal/ small holders. Livestock production in general is highly women oriented as most of the animal husbandry activities like the care and management of milch animals, milking of dairy animal, grazing of small ruminants are dealt by women and most of the labour engaged in rural livestock production are women. Among the livestock species, cattle being the most popular, therefore the predominant livestock species. The animal resources development sector has ample scope to enhance considerably the production to meet the domestic market demands, create employment and income generating opportunities for the rural poor livestock keepers and enhance their food and livelihood security. So, it can be reiterated that livestock sector is an instrument for socio-economic development of the rural population of Odisha enabling steady growth of living standard. Furthermore livestock products account for more than 27% of the total value of agricultural output. Livestock food products are major contributors to a balanced diet.
