Abstract

India is resourceful in having abundant stock of livestock population. Not only in livestock head count but also in its generated products like milk, meat, dairy, egg, fish, wool and other skin products, India is one of the frontline countries in the World. Her livestock consists of cattle, cow, pig, buffalo, goat, sheep, yak, mithun, horse, donkey, pony, chicks, duck, turkey, rohu, catla, fowl and quail.Although livestock density is the highest in India, this country lags behind in yield, per capita production, availability and consumption. They are providing draught power still in some places, their every part serves to direct and indirect consumption, even their undigested feed is treated as manure in maintaining soil fertility and cultivation. Keeping significance of their multiple utilisations under consideration, this paper makes an effort to study contribution of this sector in Indian value addition as well as regional distribution of Indian livestock sector for the last three censuses and its associated changes, if there is any.
