Karnataka, the South Western State of India is a
climatically vulnerable drought prone region with
24.3% of the net sown area lying in a medium
rainfall region and 66.3% in low rainfall regions.
Climate change is projected to negatively affect
livestock mainly arising from impact of climate
change on availability of fodder & feed; potable
water; heat distress suffered by animals; increased
incidences of vector borne and parasitic diseases
and loss of resources. It has been reported that the
cattle population has declined by 9.43 % from 2007
to 2012 in Karnataka due to in-sufficient
availability of fodder in the State.
It is projected that temperatures in Karnataka may
rise in the range of 1.0 – 3.0 °C by the 2030s
compared to pre-industrial period (1880). Exotic
breeds of livestock (cattle and sheep) are more
prone to impact of climate change impacts like
heat distress and parasitic infection etc. To address
the above vulnerabilities, the given project
proposes to conserve and popularise indigenous
varieties of livestock (Cattle and Sheep), as they are
more tolerant to climatic changes and ensure
fodder and water security for the livestock.

Project Approach:
This project aims at conserving and revitalising the native cattle breeds of the state through propagating pure
semen and their selective breeding. The local cattle breeds (Malnad gidda, Deoni and Hallikar) and sheep breeds
(Bandur, Bellary, and Deccani) would be promoted. In the project, pure elite animals will be identified based on
performance recording and modern genomics approach. About 200 best cows per breed would be selected and
procured from the farmers. Project will facilitate farmers in efficient utilization of fodder. Project would also include
integrating climate smart practices in the existing livestock government farms such as water conservation practices
e.g., setting up rain water harvesting, farm ponds etc. which will conserve both surface and ground water resources
of the selected areas in the state. Further, practices for harnessing solar energy; waste management practices such
as establishing vermicomposting in farmland and bio-gas plants would also be undertaken.
Project Impacts:
Ø Development of 23 nos. of cattle sheds for breeding and maintenance of the cattle.
Ø Establishment of 3 units of RWH plant per farm having capacity of 10,000 liters each.
Ø Setting up of 3 nos. of Vermi-compositing Units.
Ø Identification and procurement of 624 nos. of pure sheep breeds including 200 females(ewe)/
farm and 8 males(ram)/farm.
Ø Promotion of renewable energy through the installation of 3 solar units of 10 KW each.
Ø Organization of 3 nos. of workshops for Inception, mid-term and final evaluation of
project progress.
Ø Knowledge building through developing 2 films (bilingual), 4-5 manuals for various
activities, posters for workshops and 6 research
papers.
