Goats, sheep drive India's livestock numbers -Jitendra

-Down to Earth

The number of camels, pigs, donkeys, horses, mules, ponies and indigenous cattle breeds has drastically declined

The number of Indian livestock has increased due to a rise in the population of sheep and goats, even as indigenous cattle and other farm animals have declined, according to the 20th Livestock Census.

The livestock census has been periodically conducted once in every five years since 1919. But the 20th census was conducted after six years.

“The 19th Livestock Census in 2012, was done in four years’ time. Hence, we extended one year,” Bhushan Tyagi, assistant commissioner of the Department of Animal Husbandry told Down to Earth.
