About WebinarGlobal livestock sector is highly dynamic. In developing countries like-India, there is

rapidly increasing demand for livestock products and need of improvement in livestock production

systems with improved efficiency and environmental sustainability through technology

intervention and policy reforms. The livestock products have been fundamentally motivated by

increased human population, income and urbanization. The production response in different

livestock systems has been connected with science and technology. Developments in breeding,

nutrition and animal health will continue to contribute to increasing production potential and

genetic gains. Looking towards the vast potential of livestock sector in rural economy,

Government of India has initiated many policy reforms and constituted the “Rashtriya Kamdhenu

Aayog” to organize animal husbandry on modern and scientific lines and to take steps for

preserving and improving breeds.
