100-Day Action Plan for Animal Health, Dairy, and Conservation

Context

The new Cabinet is expected to approve a 100-day action plan focusing on animal health, dairy, and conservation. This plan aims to address challenges such as low availability of feed and fodder, poor livestock health, and the decline of indigenous breeds due to climate change.

Key Initiatives:

Revamped Rashtriya Gokul Mission (RGM):
The RGM will focus on developing and conserving indigenous bovine breeds to enhance milk production and make it more profitable for farmers.
Private sector participation will be encouraged, with the formation of breeder associations in every state and Union Territory.
Genetic upgradation techniques like in-vitro fertilization and genomic selection will be utilized to improve breed productivity.
National Fodder Mission Convergence Framework:
A convergence plan involving the agriculture and rural development ministries will be launched to increase fodder availability.
Resources from both government and private sectors will be pooled to enhance fodder production, storage, and processing.
The aim is to cultivate fodder on additional land and produce quality fodder seeds, with an allocated budget of Rs 300 crore.
Animal Health System Support for One Health (AHSSOH):
AHSSOH will focus on preventing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in animals, which occurs due to overuse of antibiotics.
Research will be conducted to develop medicines that combat AMR effectively, without creating resistance.
