PASHUPALAN SCHEME (AMENDED)

MODIFIED

BREEDING AND REARING OF COWS/

BUFFALOES/CALVES SCHEME

Introduction:— The Livestock Economy

penetrates sections of rural society both

vertically and laterally, supposedly more

equitably than land holdings.

Considerably there have been dramatic

favourable changes in livestock population

and composition over the past five decades,

but overall impact on poor has not been much.

Goa has its own Breeding Policy and

accordingly animals are to be bred using

Jersey semen. However, the local cattle

owners find it very difficult to stall-feed their

unproductive indigenous cattle. This leads to

the animals roaming in the streets looking for

grazing patches or feeding from the dustbins

as scavenger cows. Deaths in these cows are

reported due to consumption of plastic bags

over a period of time, which is total loss to

the farmer and the State. Unlike stray dogs,

the stray cattle have owners, who due to their

own financial circumstances cannot stall feed

the unproductive animals, as it is a further

burden to their pocket. The promotion of

dairy husbandry through crossbreeding of

low productive local cattle is therefore to be

given priority as most of the villagers own a

few cattle. This programme will ensure

techno-economic viability and prosperity to

the small farmers. Local cattle breeding, was

initiated by the Government of Goa in early

70’s, but was not popular, due to the high

feeding cost during stall feeding.

Considering this scenario, further research

and technology transfer are needed in areas

of genetic improvement, reproductive

efficiency and nutrition and health care, all

these areas are equally important to improve

the overall quantity and quality of milk

production. Genetic improvement in this

direction can further promote economic and

eco-friendly dairy husbandry, which the small

farmers are looking forward for their

sustainable livelihood. There should be no

limitation to the number of animals covered

by individual farmer or organization. The

Indigenous breed need to be conserved by

breeding with semen of same breed and

calves born to be reared scientifically. It is

found that the entire cost of rearing of one

calf from birth to 27 months is high as

Rs. 52,800/- (Rupees fifty two thousand eight

hundred only) and general category

beneficiaries are getting 75% of the estimated

cost of rearing a calf. The General Category

beneficiaries from Dudh Gram areas will get

an enhanced subsidy of 90% of the estimated

cost of rearing of calf.

Objectives:— The main objectives of the

scheme are as follows:—

√

To encourage the cross breeding of

cows and buffaloes.

√

To encourage rearing of cross-bred

calves & improved buffalo calves/

Indigenous Breed calves namely

Sahiwal, Gir & Red Sindhi from birth

to 27 months.

√

To encourage and uplift the S.C. and

S.T. & Dhangar community.

√

To improve & sustain the productivity

of cattle & buffalo through use of

Artificial Insemination practices.

√

To assist the farmer financially in stall

feeding the local animals & rearing of

the cross-bred calves & improved

buffalo calves/Indigenous Breed calves

namely Sahiwal, Gir & Red Sindhi.

√

To indirectly reduce the menace of

stray cattle.

√

encourage

NGO’s/Goshalas/

Community

Farms

and

other

organizations to take up calf rearing

in scientific manner.

√

To conserve the Indigenous breed.

Eligibility:

All farmers availing the Artificial

Insemination facility for cattle and

buffalo and registered with the local

organizations availing the A.I. to cows

female calves/improved buffalo female

calves born out of AI or calves born to

cows purchased under any scheme of

the department. All Indigenous breed

calves namely Sahiwal, Gir & Red

Sindhi born out of AI or Natural service

(by the same breed bull). In case of

natural service, the same should be

reported to the local Area Officer in

writing.

5 years residence certificate is

Agreement Bond as prescribed, duly

signed and completed in all respects

should be submitted along with the

application form.

Expectation on implementation of the

scheme:

v This programme will eliminate stray

cattle and conserve community or

individual

paddy

field,

crops,

plantations and forests from being

destroyed by grazing of stray cattle.

v Door to door, service will help them to

avail timely services and to develop

confidence in adoption of the

technology.

v Promotion of healthy crossbred cattle/

improved buffaloes/indigenous breeds

of cattle namely Sahiwal, Gir & Red

Sindhi.

v Unproductive local cattle population

will be reduced.

v Non-dependence on neighbouring

States by beneficiaries for their

requirement of crossbred animals

under various Government Schemes.

cows/improved buffaloes/indigenous

breed calves namely Sahiwal, Gir &

Red Sindhi, thereby giving a fillip to

the yield of milk in Goa.
