Livestock Products defined Food products of animal origin consumed by human beings for sustenance Supplement vegetable proteins in modern balanced dietary concept Classified as protective foods Excellent nutritional value and unique sensorial characteristics
Significance Efficiency of animal production largely dependant on efficient processing and utilization of produce A correlation exists between the livestock products consumption and socio-economic status Aptest way of minimizing losses occurring due to regional and seasonal imbalances Nutritional security Alleviation of the problems of mal-nutrition Employment generation

Milk production PCA (g/day) DCS
Opportunities 1. Anand pattern Dairy Cooperative Societies 2. Cottage Dairy Industry (CDI) concept
-Potential to alleviate poverty and improve nutritional security -Promising employment opportunities -Provides income on a daily basis -Provides salubrious milk for consumption
CDI defined An occupation of farmers generally landless or with very small cultivable land that can not be used for raising animals for commercial milk production. These farmers keep 3-5 animals for milk, meat and power source requirements
CDI – Opportunities Supplements agr as it is more dependable Provides perennial source of income than crop production Work force in animal management doubled compared to crop production Contribution of livestock to GDP increased from 4.8 to 5.5% in last 2 decades Unemployed family (women) get employed Money earned used for upkeep of animals as well as family Minimum land use
CDI – Challenges
Milk production per animal low Farmers with small land holdings Milk producers clustered in a village Villages scattered and away from urban consumption centers Organization of this scatter to weave a network making the system work as an industry Regular payment to producers Assured veterinary health care and insurance Building infrastructure-roads & telecom Networking Veterinarians in emergencies Assured marketing backup

9. Self help group concept
Association of 10-20 S-E homogenous people with a background of affinity who meet regularly to transact business with the objective of furthering their common interests for progress and prosperity An ideal group comprises 15-20 Same S-E status with strong affinity Rotational leadership Voluntary participation Social viability Non-partisan democratic decision making Rules and regulations framed and followed s maintained and updated Facilitating Institutions: NABARD, MYRADA etc.
Dairy Food parks Centralized Operative machinery housing various sections of milk & Milk products processing units at one place Transformation of Dairy farming into a High tech industry Farmers / SHGs process their produce on cost basis during specified hours
Objectives •Employment for youth •Effective functioning of farmers(SHGs , NGOs etc.) through utilization of revolving fund •Availability of milk & milk products at affordable prices to rural population •Proper utilization of milk without spoilage
•Remunerative price policy •Timely payment •Livestock services • Quality livestock feed availability at reasonable prices •Risk management •Periodical training programmes – Milk processing, Value addition, hygienic milk production, AI, GMP, HAC, SOP etc. •Introduction of community milking •Introduction of central cleaning machinery for equipments etc. •Effective management of Rs •Overall enhanced produtivity

Employment opportunities Major source of employment providing employment to 2.5 million people Export worth Rs.90870 millions Growth rate 186% per decade Value of raw hides and skins – 10-15% of the cost of the carcass Value enhancement on conversion to finished products – 5-6 times Total value of leather products in J&K – Rs.110 crores On value addition it increases to Rs.400 crores
Potential for planned development
Salient findings of CLRI sample survey:
-Opportunities for animal farming and livestock breeding -Sustainable raw material source and supply chain -Access to technology -Investment potential and opportunities -An enabling public policy for dev. Of leather sector -Favorable domestic and tourist market
-Per capita meat consumption in J&K higher than national average -6% of the sheep population in J&K -Sheep to human ratio higher than national average -90% of hides and skins from slaughtered animals
Resources
Rich small ruminant stock Adequate animal inflow Higher meat demand Sustained supply of raw material Human resource available for large volume handling Finances mobilizable Policy – advantageous Skill available exceptional Expertise – can be outsourced easily
Employment opportunities 75% of the population rural with low income 0.3% of population depends on leather industry against national average of 0.17% This provides an opportunity to empower leather sector in J&K Potential for 1 job per Rs.15,000 investment
Product mix & tourism factor -Leather garments, hand crafted leather toys and leather goods, leather footwear -Scenic beauty attracts domestic and foreign tourists -Ideal market for specialty leather goods
Challenges Quality of hides & skins needs improvement Poor industrial infrastructure for market connectivity Weak accessibility to technology system Poor system of integration and development Lack of ambience for large scale investment Challenges in environmental management
