Contingent Strategies for Livestock

Suggested contingency measures

Before the event During the event After the event

Feed and fodder availability

Paddy straw and Wheat straw stored properly

Use rice, maize, jowar, bajra’s biomass and wetted grain as feed for livestock.

Supply of quality seed of multi cut Jowar, Bajra well before monsoon

Preserving the grain of Jowar ,Bajra and Sugarcane tops as silage.

Use silage as supplement for milch animal during drought

Short duration fodder crops like Jowar, M P Chari, U P Chari and Sun-hemp should be sown in un sown and crop failed area.

Encourage green fodder production with multi cut Jowar/Bajra (U P Chari, M P Chari, African Toll, Gaint Bajra)

Encourage mixing available kitchen vegetables waste with dry fodder while feeding to the milch annimal

Drought

Contingent Strategies for Livestock

Suggested contingency measures

Before the event During the event After the event

Feed and fodder availability

Chopping of fodder should be made as mandatory in every village through supply and establishment of good quality Chaff Cutters

All the hay should be enriched with 2% Urea molasses and feed to livestock

Drought

Contingent Strategies for Livestock

Suggested contingency measures

Before the event During the event After the event

Protect the stored Paddy straw from inundation of flood waterAll the large ruminants are immunized for the endemic diseases during the month of May and JuneProcure and stock emergency medicine for important diseases Surveillance and disease monitoring network to be established at district level office,

Use stored grain/ barn along with crop residues for feeding of livestockAvoid soaked and mould infected feed/fodder to livestock Emergency out let establishment for required medicines in each PanchayatRestrict movement of livestock in case of any epidemic

Cleaning and disinfection of the shed.

Bleach(0.1%) drinking water/ water source

De worm the animals through mass camps

Encouraging farmer to cultivate short term fodder crops like cow pea],sun hemp and multi cut chari.
