Dairy Research
- Product diversificstion researchwork- Post harvest for keeping quality- Hygenic milk production
• Different types of fodder and pasture species identified and selected.
• Silage bag technique for winter feeding identified

Pasture Research
• Varieties of Oat, Berseem & Napier in pipeline
• Technology for year round green fodder production developed
• Technology of plastic bag silage for dry
period
Health care Technologies
• The research is based on the diseases as defined by Official Epizootics International (OIE) such as,
• OIE List A, B, C diseases• Unclassified diseases such
as mastitis, abortion, parasitic gastroenteritis (Multiple).

Way forward in Animal Production and Health Research
Climate change• Livestock research in relation to climate change and global
warming
• Establishment of Deemed University
Animal Breeding • Genetic resource conservation and utilization• Breed Development• Participatory selection program
Animal NutritionAnimal Nutrition Low cost feeding packageLow cost feeding package Characterization / identification nutritive feed resources.Characterization / identification nutritive feed resources. Quality control mechanism for raw ingredients and Quality control mechanism for raw ingredients and

Livestock Production & Management
• Technology generation for cattle and buffalo• Quality wool and meat production• Fodder based feeding management• Management technologies suitable for
different ecological zones• Socio-economics in relation to livestock
commercialization• Best Management Practices (BMP) for
quality production
Animal Health
• Khari disease in buffalo• Organism Bank• Zoonotic disease• Infertility in Cattle and Buffalo• Study on vectors of animal disease• Natural micro flora of indigenous animal.• Genetic resistance of indigenous stock against
disease• Indigenous plants and biological materials against
Pathogen and parasites.
Forage, Pasture and Agro forestry
• Suitable variety release of forage crops• Rangeland / community land management• Improved on fodder productivity considering
environment• Temperate legume seed production
Nepal is basically a livestock based agrarian. , society Thus highest level organizational identity of Livestock sector could contribute
substantially in national economy and. prosperity
Such identity would strengthen both research and extension network for animal
production and health for sustainability of , .animal industry environment and peace
CONCLUSION
