National Livestock Mission

The National Livestock Mission is a crucial initiative designed to support and advance the livestock sector in India. It focuses on improving the availability of quality livestock breeds and ensuring sufficient feed resources across the country.

Breed Multiplication Farms and Fodder Seed Production

As part of this mission, a total of 4,084 breed multiplication farms have been approved. These farms play an instrumental role in producing high-quality breeds essential for improving livestock productivity.

Silage and Total Mixed Ration (TMR) Units

The mission has sanctioned 204 silage and Total Mixed Ration (TMR) units. These units are vital for providing balanced nutrition to livestock, which is necessary for maintaining their health and enhancing productivity.

Impact in Jammu and Kashmir

The National Livestock Mission has made significant contributions in regions such as Jammu and Kashmir by providing financial assistance to enhance feed availability and livestock productivity. This support is crucial for developing the livestock sector in these areas, which often face logistical and environmental challenges.

Support for Self-Employment and Economic Improvement

The program backs livestock entrepreneurs and selected value chains, offering support to eligible individuals, farmer groups, and rural businesses. This initiative aims to improve farmers' economic conditions through livestock activities.
