The National grain-saving type animal husbandry development with plan (2011-2020) is a sectoral national policy. The main objectives of the Policy are a) to support the existing low input production systems for improving productivity and income so as to improve socio-economic status of a vast majority of livestock producers, most of which are women and small farmers, b) to support research and development initiatives on issues pertaining to livestock sector for improving production and productivity, bio-security and profitability. The principles of meat safety will be emphasized in primary production system. Entire meat sector is required to ensure quality, safety and suitability of food for human consumption. To improve quality milk production, necessary veterinary support, infrastructure and cold chain facility would be expanded by suitably encouraging cooperatives and incentivizing the private sector. The Policy would promote clean milk production with quality and food safety of international standards for benefit of farmers and consumers. By using existing and newly developed technologies, enrichment and densification of crop residue would be encouraged to avoid wastage of large quantity of straw and agro-industrial by-products. In addition, veterinary hospitals, dispensaries, Aid Centers and diagnostic laboratories would be improved and expanded. The quality of traditional medicines would be standardized through understanding and knowledge of the factors and conditions involved. Furthermore, Farmer producers’ Organizations including producers’ companies would be promoted to facilitate flow of credit for activities and projects related to livestock production and marketing.
