2021-02-21 18:38:52 Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairy has released the 20th #Livestock _Census report recently.


The total Livestock population is 535.78 million in the country showing an increase of 4.6% over Livestock Census-2012.

● West Bengal observed the highest increase of 23%, followed by Telangana (22%). West Bengal has seen the highest rise of 15% in cattle population.

● The total number of cattle in the country increase of 0.8 %.

● The increase is mainly driven by a sharp increase in cross-bred cattle and higher female indigenous cattle population.

● Uttar Pradesh has observed a maximum decrease in cattle population though the state has taken several steps to save cattle.

● The population of the total exotic/crossbred cattle has increased by 27%.

● Cross-bred animals contributed around 28% to India’s total milk production in 2018-19.

● The milch population of exotic and crossbred cattle such as Jersey or Holsteins shows higher(join Agriculture Exams Library Telegram channel) milk yields and thus farmers prefer animals yielding more milk.

● A decline of 6% in the total indigenous cattle population has been observed.

● India’s indigenous cattle numbers continue to decline, not with standing the government’s efforts to promote conservation of desi breeds through the Rashtriya Gokul Mission (RGM).

● The sharpest fall has been observed in the states (Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, (join Agriculture Exams Library Telegram channel) Rajasthan,Maharashtra, etc.) with tough cow slaughter laws.

● The total milch animals have shown an increase of 6%.

● Due to higher yields, foreign breeds constitute more than half the population of milch animals.

● The backyard poultry has increased by around 46%, increase in backyard poultry is a significant change in the rural landscape which shows a sign of poverty alleviation.

● Total Bovine population (Cattle, Buffalo, Mithun and Yak) has shown an increase of about 1%.

● The population of sheep, goat and Mithun grew in double digits while the count of horses and ponies, pigs, camels, donkeys, mules and yaks declined.

Carbon
Basic molecular component of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.

Oxygen
Oxygen is somewhat like carbon in that it occurs in virtually all organic compounds of living organisms.

Hydrogen
Hydrogen plays a central role in plant metabolism. Important in ionic balance and as main reducing agent and plays a key role in energy relations of cells.

Nitrogen
Nitrogen is a component of many important organic compounds ranging from proteins to nucleic acids.

Phosphorus
Central role in plants is in energy transfer and protein metabolism.

Potassium
Helps in osmotic and ionic regulation. Potassium functions as a cofactor or activator for many enzymes of carbohydrate and protein metabolism.

Calcium
Calcium is involved in cell division and plays a major role in the maintenance of membrane integrity.

Magnesium
Component of chlorophyll and a cofactor for many enzymatic reactions.

Sulfur
Sulfur is somewhat like phosphorus in that it is involved in plant cell energetic.

Iron
An essential component of many heme and nonheme Fe enzymes and carries, including the cytochromes (respiratory electron carriers) and the ferredoxins. The latter are involved in key metabolic function such as N fixation, photosynthesis, and electron transfer.

Zinc
Essential component of servral dehydrogenases, and peptidases, including carbonic anhydrase, alcohol dehydrogenase, glutamic dehydrogenase, and malic dehdrogenase, among others.

Manganese
Involved in the O2 – evolving system of photosynthesis and is a component of the enzymes arginase and phospho transferases.

Copper
Constituent of a number of important enzymes, including cytochrome oxidize, ascorbic acid oxidase, and laccase.

Boron
Involved in carbohydrate metabolism and synthesis of cell wall components.

Molybdenum
Required for the normal assimilation of N in plants. An essential component of nitrate reductase as well as nitrogenase (N2 fixation enzyme)

Chlorine
Essential for photosynthesis and as an activator of enzymes involved in splitting water. It also functions in osmoregulation of plants growing on saline soils.
