Handbook of Animal Husbandry
The livestock sector in India is experiencing fast growth. Livestock resources across regions and species have therefore to be utilized optimally to achieve the goals of efficiency, equity, nutritional security and sustainability. Consumption of livestock products has been increasing over the last 20 years. Sustained economic growth and attendant increase in per capita income are expected to further boost demand of livestock products substantially. Demand for milk and meat is estimated to be 147 and 14 million tonnes, respectively, in 2020. Changing consumption pattern and increasing needs of livestock products would demand use of new scientific technologies to achieve goal of increased animal production efficiency. This new revised and enlarged edition of Handbook of Animal Husbandry deals with nearly all aspects of animal husbandry under a single cover.
