2.5 Contingent strategies for Livestock, Poultry & Fisheries2.5.1 Livestock

Suggested contingency measures

Before the events During the event After the event

DroughtFeed and fodderavailability

i. Creation of permanent fodder, feed and seed banksii. Raising drought tolerant perennial grasses and fodders

like congosignal, guinea, oat etc. as permanent sourceof fodder.

iii. Preservation and conservation of legume trees, bushes,brooms, grasses and legumes through silage and haymaking

iv. Burning of jungles of hills and paddy straw should notbe allowed.

Development of fodder varieties of cultivated cropshaving tolerance for varying degree of drought

Feeding of locally available jungle tree leaveslike Artocarpus hetrophyllus, Fircus hookerii,Symingtonia populnea, Schefflera wallichiana forruminant.

Feeding of non conventional feed and forageresources like broom, stylosanthes, Job’s tearsetc.

Feeding of crop residues (rice straw) and agroindustrial byproduct after chemical or biologicaltreatment and processing.

Iv. The maintenance ration should be reduced tohalf.

i. Cultivation of high yielding anddrought tolerant varieties ofgrasses and fodder like oat,congosignal,guinea, para andnapier grasses.

ii. Introduction of fodder trees,bushes and grasses asrehabilitation option on all kindsof wasted and abandoned lands.

Drinking water Preserve water in community tanks, ponds etc withsanitization, well or dug well may be constructed inadvance, Training & awareness camp among extensionpersonnel

Water source from Temple Mosques, and Churchmay be used in case of shortfall of existingpotable water, Animals not to be exposed tooutside rather they should be commonly fed.

Plan accordingly for next year

Health anddiseasemanagement

Veterinary preparedness with vaccines & medicines,Training & awareness camp among extensionpersonnel

any

Before the eventa During the event After the event

Drought

Shortage of feedingredients

Insurance of Poultry farms Ensureprocurement of feed ingredients sufficientahead Establish feed serve bank

Feed Utilizing from feed servebanks

Feed supplementation will be madeto the farms

Availing insurance

Attempt will be made for available offeed ingredient or compound frrd to theformers

Drinking waterCheck water source for ensuring sufficientpotable water during draught

Attempt will be made to providesanitized drinking water

Available of water will be ensured bydigging of bore well
