MANAGEMENT OF LIVESTOCK FARM

Livestock Prod needs investment than Agriculture (FAO, 2000) Sustained flow of benefits are always challenging from livestock enterprises Despite financial constraints and lack of proper manpower, we have tried to get income upto 1.4 M Pooled resources (Since 2007) under Director Farms have given some higher boost to income Latest innovations has made further improvements Now income has gone up, calf mortality in under control, breeding plans have been in place, & heifers are ready for replacements Management is a full time job, I still recommend to have a full time Farm Officer Primarily on good management and Manager abilities counts
