2.5 Contingent strategies for Livestock, Poultry & Fisheries2.5.1 Livestock
Suggested contingency measuresBefore the events During the event After the event
DroughtFeed andfodderavailability
Sowing of cereals (Sorghum/Bajra) and leguminouscrops (Lucerne, Berseem, Horse gram, Cowpea)during North-East monsoon under dry land systemfor fodder productionCollection of soya meal waste andsunflower/safflower/ groundnut seed cake for use asfeed supplement during droughtMotivating the sugarcane farmers to convert greensugarcane tops in to silage by the end of FebruaryPreserving the green maize fodder as silageDevelopment of hortipastoral systems inexistingorchardsEstablishment of fodder bank at village level withavailable dry fodder (wheat straw, Sorghum/ Bajrastover, groundnut haulms, sugarcane tops)Development of silvopastoral models with Leucaena,Glyricidia, Prosopis as fodder trees and Marvel,Madras Anjan, Stylo, Desmanthus, etc., as understorey grassEncourage fodder production with Sorghum – stylo-
Sorghum on rotation basis and also to cultivate short-term fodder crops like sunhempPromote Azola cultivation at backyardFormation of village Disaster ManagementCommitteeCapacity building and preparedness of thestakeholders and official staff for thedrought/floods/cyclones
Harvest and use biomass of dried up crops(Pearlmillet, Pigeon pea, Sorghum, maize,Wheat, Green gram, Black gram, Soybean,cluster bean) material as fodderUse of unconventional and locally availablecheap feed ingredients especially soya mealwaste and sunflower/safflower/ groundnutseed cake for feeding of livestock duringdroughtHarvest all the top fodder available (Subabul,Glyricidia, Pipol, Prosopis etc) and feed theLS during droughtConcentrate ingredients such as Grains,brans, chunnies & oilseed cakes, low gradegrains etc. unfit for human consumptionshould be procured from Govt. Godowns forfeeding high productive animals duringdroughtPromotion of Horse gram as contingent cropand harvesting it at vegetative stage as fodderAll the hay should be enriched with 2% Ureamolasses solution or 1% common saltsolution and fed to LS.Continuous supplementation of minerals toprevent infertility.Encourage mixing available kitchen wastewith dry fodder while feeding to the milchanimalsArrangements should be made formobilization of small ruminants across thedistricts where no drought exitsUnproductive livestock should to be culledduring severe drought
Encourage progressive farmers to growmulti cut fodder crops ofsorghum/bajra/maize(UP chari, MP chari,HC-136, HD-2, GAINT BAJRA, L-74, K-677, Ananad/African Tall, Kisancomposite, Moti, Manjari, B1-7 on theirown lands with input subsidySupply of quality seeds of COFS 29, Styloand fodder slips of Marvel, Yaswant,Jaywant, Napier, guinea grass well beforemonsoonFlushing the stock to recoupReplenish the feed and fodder banks
24
Create transportation and marketing facilitiesfor the culled and unproductive animals(10000-20000 animals)Subsidized loans (5-10 crores) should beprovided to the livestock keepers
Drinkingwater
Make available wholesome clean drinking waterthroughout the year for livestockAdopt various water conservation methods at villagelevel to improve the ground water level for adequatewater supply.Identification of water resourcesRain water harvesting and create waterbodies/watering points (when water is scarce useonly as drinking water for animals)Construction of drinking water tanks in herdingplaces/village junctions/relief camp locationsDrinking water troughs should be provided inshandies /community grazing areas
Provide wholesome clean drinking waterthroughout the dayRestrict wallowing of animals in waterbodies/resourcesAdd alum in stagnated water bodies
aily basis.
Watershed management practices shouldbe promoted to conserve the rainwater.Bleach (0.1%) drinking water / watersourcesDesilting of pondsSensitize the farming community aboutimportance of clean drinking water forlivestock
Health anddiseasemanagement
Procure and stock emergency medicines andvaccines for important endemic diseases of the areaAll the stock must be immunized for endemic
diseases of the area before the onset of monsoonSurveillance and disease monitoring network to beestablished at Joint Director (Animal Husbandry)office in the districtAdequate refreshment training on disastermanagement to be given to animal husbandrydepartment staffProcure and stock multivitamins & area specificmineral mixture
Conduct mass animal health camps in everyvillageKeep close watch on health of differentlivestock speciesIdentification and quarantine of sick animalsPerforming ring vaccination (8 km radius) incase of any outbreakTick control measures should beimplemented to prevent tick borne diseasesin productive animalsKeep the animal houses clean and spraydisinfectantsSafe and hygienic disposal of dead animalcarcasses
Keep close surveillance on diseaseoutbreak.Undertake the vaccination depending onneedRestricting movement of livestock in caseof any epidemicFarmers should be advised to breed theirmilch animals during July-September sothat the peak milk production does notcoincide with mid summer
25
Cyclone/Floods
Harvest all the possible immature and or wetted grain(Pearlmillet, Pigeon pea, Sorghum, Wheat, Greengram, Black gram, maize, Soybean, cluster bean etc)and store properly for use as animal feed.Protect the stored dry roughage feed (wheatstraw/sorghum stover etc.,) from wetting andinundation of stagnated waterProcure and stock vaccines for important endemicdiseasesMake available emergency medicines, anti-diarrhealdrugs and electrolytes for transport to the needyareasKeep stock of bleaching powder and lime
Don’t allow the animals for grazing in case of earlyforewarning (EFW)Incase of EFW of severe cyclone/floods, shift theanimals to safer placesSurveillance and disease monitoring network to beestablished at Animal Husbandry Department in eachdistrictArrange transportation facilities for animals to shift
from low lying areas to safer places and also foranimal health workers for rescue operations
Arrange relief camps to save productive andhigh valued animalsShift productive and high valued animalsfrom affected areas to relief campsCarryout deworming to all the animalsentering into relief campsProper hygiene and sanitation of the reliefcamps, animal sheds and surroundingsAvoid feeding soaked and mould infectedfeeds / fodders to livestockTreatment of the sick, injured and affectedanimals through arrangement of mobileemergency veterinary hospitals / rescueanimal health workers.
Spray fly repellants like neem oil, Butaxetc., in animal sheds and relief campsIdentification and quarantine of sick animalsPerform ring vaccination (8 km radius) incase of any disease outbreakSprinkle lime in relief camps and animalshedsProper disposal of dung from relief campsand animal sheds
Restrict movement of animals in case ofepidemicRepair of animal shedCleaning and disinfection of the shedBleach (0.1%) drinking water / watersourcesDeworm all the animals through masscampsVaccinate against possible disease outbreaks like HS, BQ, FMD and PPRProper dispose of the dead animals /carcasses by burning / deep burying (4-8feet) with lime powder (1kg for smallruminants and 5kg for large ruminants) inpitBleach / chlorinate (0.1%) drinking wateror water resourcesCollect drowned crop material, dry it andstore for future useSowing of short duration fodder crops inunsown and water logged areas when cropsare damaged and no chance to replantApplication of urea (20-25kg/ha) in theinundated areas and CPR’s to enhance thebio mass production.
Heat & Coldwave
Arrangement for protection from heat wavei) Plantation around the shedii) Arrangement of H2O sprinklers /
foggers in the shediii) Application of white reflector paint on
the roofiv) Thatched sheds should be provided as a
shelter to minimize heat stressCold wave : Covering all the wire meshed walls /open area with gunny bags/ polyethylene sheets (witha mechanism for lifting during the day time andputting down during night time)
Heat wave: Allow the animals early in themorning or late in the evening for grazingFeed green fodder/silage / concentratesduring day time and roughages / hay duringnight timePut on the foggers / sprinkerlers during daytimeIn severe cases, vitamin ‘C’ and electrolytesshould be added in H2O during day timeCold wave :Allow for grazing between 10AM to 3PMAdd 25-50 ml of edible oil in concentratesand fed to the animalsPut on the heaters during night timeApply / sprinkle lime powder in the animal
Feed the animals as per routine scheduleAllow the animals for grazing (normaltimings)
