Livestock Census is a complete enumeration of domesticated livestock species and poultry birds which provides species - wise and State/UT-wise livestock population, including cattle (cows), buffaloes, sheep and goats. A State/UT-wise statement showing the population of major livestock species as per the 20th Livestock Census is placed at Annexure I.
Animal Husbandry is a State subject. Different States have introduced their own schemes to make available the subsidized feed and fodder for their livestock. Some State Governments are implementing schemes in which supply of Animal feeds are made available at an affordable rate. Besides, this Ministry is supplementing the efforts of the State Governments in this direction. The schemes, ‘National Livestock Mission’ and ‘Animal Husbandry Infrastructure Development Fund’ implemented by this Ministry enable the livestock owners to increase availability of animal feed.
