On the occasion of the conclusion of the program, the Director of the Institute, Dr. Arun Kumar Tomar, while addressing the trainees, said that currently in the self-reliant India of the Government of India, you can earn your livelihood by rearing sheep and goats and also provide employment to the people of the country. Can help in supplying meat. The most important aspect in animal husbandry is health management. Detailed information about health management of sheep and goat, vaccination and etc. is provided by Avikanagar Institute through Health Calendar for farmers. Dr. Tomar requested that by increasing the advanced technology and advanced germplasm of the institute on your farm, you can establish yourself as a multiplayer center of good animals and deliver breeder animals to the farmers. At present, there is a lack of public pastures for commercial and scientific sheep-goat rearing. Stall feeding method is now being done in which maximum production can be achieved keeping in mind the proper nutritional management, fodder management, housing management, health management and various weather based precautions of the animals at their own home.
Dr. Tomar told that sheep and goat animals are small in size but they play a very important role in economically empowering the people of the country. Nowadays maximum production can be achieved by rearing sheep and goats with minimum resources. Dr. Tomar expressed the hope that you must have acquired some information about sheep and goat rearing from here in seven days. If these are added to your already existing knowledge, then it will definitely help in the coming years. With time, you will see improvement in sheep-goat rearing and the Director requested that through the National Livestock Mission, you can start a small scale business of 25 to 50 animals by getting the subsidy issued by the Government of India in the field of sheep-goat and poultry rearing. You can start and gradually take your business towards animal husbandry entrepreneurship. In the field of animal husbandry, you should form cooperative institutions to take them to the market. So that the entire process from animal production to consumer can be facilitated. You should be yourself so that maximum earning can be done from it.
Dr. Randhir Singh Bhatt, Head of the Department of Animal Nutrition, said that with the nutritional management of animals, in the same input and environment, sheep can gain more weight than goats in the country. Dr. Bhatt said that in the future, you will definitely be a part of the Avikanagar Institute of Farmers. Seeing the increasing interest towards self-financed training program in India, it seems that in the coming time, the shortage of meat in the country can be bridged by increasing the production of meat from sheep and goat rearing.
