RECOMMENDATIONS FOR

UPCOMING ANIMAL CENSUSTHROUGH AI&T SYSTEM

By

PLDDF Committee on Animal Census


2/20

Why to focus on Next Census?

• Census is performed every ten years or so… • Time gap is too much

• Livestock sector has witnessed tremendous changes

during last 5-7 years

• Dynamics of overall dairy sector worldwide is changingrapidly – New technologies are taking over traditions

• There is a dire need to have an effective census that can

yield desired output for R&D and the industry

• We can’t afford waiting for another 10 years for this • That’s why, upcoming census is HIGHLY IMPORTANT


3/20

What is Way Forward?

Yield a report very

much similar toprevious censuses

Continue PreviousPractices of Animal

Census

Yield a trendsettingreport capable to

meet modern-dayR&D and industryneeds

Adopt NewMethodology and

Modern Techniques

Animal Census - Formats

• Performa used in “Punjab Livestock Census 2000” willbe taken as base format of questionnaire for the new

census

• Revision of the following segments is advised in the

above questionnaire: – Health services,

– Breeding services,

– Vaccine coverage at house hold level,

– Production and reproduction parameters,

– Trend in marketing of animals

– Their products i.e. from leather industry, feed industry and meat

industry.

Animal Census - Methodology

• Manpower for data collection should not include livestockdepartment’s work force (VOs and VAs) but districtgovernment should be involved and asked to providework-force.

• DCOs / Mayors from local government, representative

from Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, D.G. Punjab Bureauof Statistics and D.G. Extension L&DD should beinvolved in this census with full spirit.

• Longitude and latitude of the villages (or households)should be included while collecting data for mappingpurposes

• Complete census is recommended instead of area-wiseand/or sample data


6/20


• Census should be DIGITALIZED


7/20


Develop electronic system for data recording,tabulation, analysis and report generation

Prepare electronic questionnaire available onPDA devices through electronic connectivity

Data collectors be trained on use of PDAdevices for data collection and submission

Data is collected and digitally entered at the

sport through PDA devices

Data is automatically collected in the mainserver and is readily available for all types of

desired reporting formats

But, HOW?

Develop a nationallevel database for

animal identificationand record keeping

compatible withNADRA

Register thefarmers using their

livestock herdsinformation and

include them in thenational database

Issue uniqueidentity numbers

like CNIC numbersand tag the animals

with their identitythrough ear tags

etc.

Periodic records ofanimals can beupdated in the

database includingsale, purchase,

production,diseases, breeding

information etc.

Realistic Recommendations

Year1

• Develop National Database for animals registration and record keepingand make test trials for animal recording system.

Year2

• Implement this system on full scale (each and every farmer andanimals) on sample population, e.g. (2-3 villages per tehsil).

Year3 • Include all farms with 100+ size in the database nationwide

Year4

• Include all farms with 50+ herd size in the database nationwide

Year5 • Include all farms with 20+ herd size in the database nationwide

Year6 on

• Consider including 10+ or all farms depending upon the suitability
