Management and Emergence of Diseases in Livestock

A key part of the Indian economy is livestock. The socioeconomic development of rural households is significantly influenced by the livestock sector. For two thirds of rural communities, livestock is the main source of income. Additionally, it employs around 8.8% of India's population. The farmers in India practice mixed farming, which combines crops and livestock and maximizes resource efficiency by using one enterprise's result as another's input. Farmers benefit from their livestock in a variety of ways. Due to their low initial investment and ongoing costs, small animals like sheep, goats, piglets, and chickens are frequently kept for economic purposes by poor households with limited acreage. The demand for diverse livestock-based products has grown dramatically over the past ten years as a result of urbanization, rising per capita income, changing tastes and preferences, and growing nutritional awareness. In the coming decades, the livestock sector is set to become a growth engine for agriculture. It is also thought of as a possible industry for export revenue. This discussion analyses how the livestock industry has evolved in terms of population, productivity, commerce, and employment, as well as how it has contributed to the decline of rural poverty.
