2.5 Contingent strategies for Livestock, Poultry & Fisheries
General contingency measures for Livestock
Before the event During the event After the event
Feed and fodder availability
1.Conserving fodder/crop residues/ forest grass bysilage / hay making either by individual or oncommunity basis
2. Preparing complete diets and storing instrategic locations
3. Organize procurement of dry fodders / feedingredients from surplus areas
4. Establish fodder banks and feed banks
5. Livestock relief camps during floods/cyclonesmust be planned in the vicinity of relief campsfor people
6. Capacity building and preparedness
1.Organise relief camps 2.Supply silage /hay to farmers with productive stock onsubsidized rates
3.Segregate old, weak and unproductivestock and send for slaughter
4. Supply mineral mixture to avoiddeficiencies
5. Dry fodder must be offered to thelivestock in little quantities for number oftimes
6.Concentrate feed or complete feed mustbe offered to only productive and youngstock only
1. Capacity building to stake holders on drought/cyclone/flood mitigation in livestock sector
2. Promote fodder cultivation.
3. Flushing the stock to recoup
4. Avoid soaked and mould infected feeds / fodders tolivestock
5. Replenish the feed and fodder banks
6.Promote fodder preservation techniques like silage / haymaking
Drinking water
1.Construct drinking water tanks in herding
places, village junctions and in relief camp
locations
2.Plan for sufficient number of tanks for watertransportation
3.Identify bore wells, which can sustain demand.
4.Procure sufficient quantities of waterSanitizers
1.Regular supply of clean drinking water toall tanks 2.Cleaning the tanks in regularintervals
3.Keep the livestock away fromcontaminated flood/cyclone/stagnatedwaters
3.Add water sanitizers
1.Hand over the maintenance of the structures topanchayats
2.Sensitize the farming community about importance ofclean drinking water
Health and disease Management
25
1.Procure and stock emergency medicines andvaccines for important endemic diseases of thearea
2. All the stock must be immunized for endemicdiseases of the area
3. Carry out deworming to all young stock
4. Keep stock of bleaching powder and lime
5.Carry out Butax spray for control of externalparasites
6.Identify the Clinical staff and trained paravetsand indent for their services as per schedules
7.Identify the volunteers who can serve in need
of emergency
1.Keep close watch on the health of thestock
2.Sick animals must be isolated and treatedSeparately.
3. Carry out deworming and spraying to allanimals entering into relief camps
4. Clean the animal houses regularly andapply disinfectants.
5.Safe and hygienic disposal of deadanimal carcasses
6. Organize with community daily liftingof dung from relief camps
1.Keep close surveillance on disease outbreak.
2.Undertake the vaccination depending on need
3.Keep the animal houses clean and spray disinfectants

2.5.1 Livestock Detailed Contingency strategies
Suggested contingency measures
Before the event During the event After the event
Drought
Feed and
Fodder
availability
As chronically drought prone district, itshould have reserves of the following at anypoint of the year for mobilization to the needyareas (for feeding 5000 ACU (maintenanceration) for about 1-3 weeks period)
Silage:20-50 t
Urea molasses mineral bricks(UMMB):50-100 t
Hay:100-250 t
Concentrates: 20-50 t
Minerals and vitamin supplementsmixture:1-5 t
Establishment of silvi-pastoral system inCPRs with Stylosanthus hamata andCenchrus ciliaris as grass with Leucaenaleucocephala as tree component (or suggestsuitable similar system to your district)
Top dressing of N in 2-3 split doses @ 20-25kg N/ha in common property resources(CPRs) like temple lands, panchyat lands orprivate property resources (PPRs) like wasteand degraded lands with the monsoon patternfor higher biomass production
Promote cultivation of short duration foddercrops of sorghum/bajra/maize(UP chari, MPchari, HC-136, HD-2, GAINT BAJRA, L-74,K-677, Ananad/African Tall, Kisan
Harvest and use biomass of dried up crops (Groundnut,jowar, ragi, Rice, maize, black gram, green gram,horsegram) material as fodder.
Harvest the tree fodder (Neem, Subabul, Acasia, Pipal etc)and unconventional feeds resources available and use asfodder for livestock (LS).
Available feed and fodder should be cut from CPRs andstall fed in order to reduce the energy requirements of theanimals and supplemented with groundnut haulms.
UMMB, hay, concentrates and vitamin & mineral mixtureshould be transported to the needy areas from the reservesat the district level initially and latter stages from the nearby districts. Hay should be enriched with 2% Urea molassessolution or 1% common salt solution and fed to LS
Herd should be split and supplementation (either groundnuthaulms or concentrate mixture) should be given only to thehighly productive and breeding animals
Provision of emergency grazing/feeding (Cow-calf campsor other special arrangements to protect high productive &breeding stock)
Motivate the farmers to mix the dry fodder with availablekitchen waste or groundnut haulms while feeding
Arrangements should be made for mobilization of smallruminants across the villages where no drought exits withsubsidized road/rail transportation and temporary shelterprovision for the shepherds
Unproductive livestock should to be culled during severe
Concentrates supplementationshould be provided to all theanimals.
The farmers may be advised topractice “flushing the stock” torecoup either with groundnut haulmsor concentrate mixture
Short duration fodder crops ofshould be sown in unsown and cropfailed areas where no further routinecrop sowing is not possible
Supply of quality seeds of foddervarieties and motivating the farmersto cultivate at least 10% of their landholding for fodder production
27
composite, Moti, Manjari, B1-7 and alsosunhemp
Chopping of fodder should be made asmandatory in every village through supplyand establishment of good quality chaffcutters.
Harvesting and collection of perennialvegetation particularly grasses which growduring monsoon
Proper drying, bailing and densification ofharvested grass from previous season
Creation of permanent fodder, feed andfodder seed banks in all drought pronevillages
drought
Create transportation and marketing facilities for the culledand unproductive animals.
Supply silage and or hay on subsidized rates to the farmershaving high productive stock
Subsidized loans should be provided to the livestockkeepers
Heatwave
As the district chronically prone to heatwaves the following permanent measures aresuggested
i) Plantation of trees like Neem, Pipal,Subabul around the shed
ii) Spreading of husk/straw/coconutleaves on the roof of the shed
iii) Water sprinklers / foggers in theanimal shed
iv) Application of white reflector painton the roof to reduce thermalradiation effect
Allow the animals preferably early in the morning or late inthe evening for grazing during heat waves
Feed green fodder/silage / concentrates during day time androughages / hay during night time in case of heat waves
Put on the foggers / sprinkerlers during heat weaves andheaters during cold waves in case of high productiveanimals
In severe cases, vitamin ‘C’ (5-10ml per litre) andelectrolytes (Electral powder @ 20g per litre) should beadded in water during severe heat waves.
Feed the animals as per routineschedule
Allow the animals for grazing(normal timings)
Healthand
Disease
management
List out the endemic diseases (species wise)in the district and store vaccines for thosediseases
Timely vaccination (as per enclosedvaccination schedule) against all endemicdiseases
Surveillance and disease monitoring networkto be established at Joint Director (Animal
Constitution of Rapid Action Veterinary Force
Procurement of emergency medicines and medical kits
Close observation of animals for heat stress symptoms
Conducting mass animal healthcamps
Conducting fertility camps
Mass deworming camps

Husbandry) office in the district
Insurance Encouraging insurance of livestock Listing out the details of the dead animals Submission for insurance claim andavailing insurance benefit
Purchase of new productive animals
Drinkingwater
Identification of water resources
Rain water harvesting and create water bodies/ watering points (when water is scarce useonly as drinking water for animals)
Restrict wallowing of animals in water bodies/resources Bleach (0.1%) drinking water /water sources
Provide clean drinking water
Vaccination programme for cattle and buffalo:
Disease Age and season at vaccination
Anthrax In endemic areas only, Feb to May
Haemorrhagic septicaemia (HS) May to June
Black quarter (BQ) May to June
Foot and mouth disease (FMD) July/August and November/December
Vaccination schedule in small ruminants (Sheep & Goat)
