The seminar would dwell upon what needs to be done to boost the production and productivity of the sector while dealing with the challenges faced by its stakeholders.
Dairy Production in India:
-
Despite being a large producer of milk and poultry products, the Indian animal husbandry sector faces challenges such as low productivity and high costs, while bearing the frequent impact of diseases.
-
India is today the No 1 milk producer at about 188 million tonnes recorded for 2018-19. But over 50 percent of this milk comes from the unorganized sector, which has a high prevalence of malnutrition in the animal less improvement in breeds. This means India is still not able to tap the full potential of its available cattle resources.
-
As per the Union Government’s National Action Plan for Dairy, India’s milk production is targeted to touch 300 million tonnes by 2023-24, for which the milk production needs to grow at a healthy 8.5 percent annually from the current growth of around 6.5 percent.
-
Also, India’s bovine population is seen growing at a slow pace of 1 percent.
-
There is a greater need for the development of high-yielding breeds.
-
However, due to the highly unorganized nature of the livestock sector, the government-led nutrition programs, breeding, and yield improvement initiatives have a limited effect.
