department - gujarat...gujarat has a very rich bio-diversity in the form of world known breeds of...

During my brief tenure as a chairperson, GLDB and Secretary, Animal Husbandry, I have seen number of grass root level challenges related to livelihood of rural farming community of Gujarat. At the same time I have also reached a conclusion that, Animal Husbandry is one of the most reliable surest ways for the upliftment and betterment of rural masses and empowerment of women as it provides definite, regular income in the hands of millions of rural women.

Gujarat has a very rich bio-diversity in the form of world known breeds of Gir, Kankrej, Dangi cattle and Mehsana, Surti, Jaffrabadi and Banni buffalo, along with many wild species. It is our duty to protect these breeds from extinction and make their rearing economically viable in order to promote welfare of farming community.

GLDB is well placed to perform this task by way of breed improvement and quality semen production. In the year 2015-16 it has done substantial work for the establishment of BMF – Thara and BMF – Mandavi for the breeds of Kankrej cattle and Mehsana Buffalo respectively. Banni buffalo farm at Bhuj will also be ready soon. In addition GLDB is adding bull sheds and grass godown at FSS – Patan and going to construct Quarantine station at Mehsana. Bio-security will be further enhanced by the bio-security compound wall around FSS – Patan under NDP-I which is about to be completed. Central semen bank at Patan will come up under state plan.

During the year 2015-16 establishment of LN2 tank at five different places was done under NPBB and purchase of medicine for FIP in the state. To maintain the quality of the semen up to the last distribution point GLDB has procured ‘Automatic Frozen Semen Straw Counting and Packing Machine’ under RKVY.

The important milestones achieved by GLDB may be summarised as follows: 1. Artificial Insemination done by Gopalmitra (Private AI workers): 2,96,021 2. Frozen Semen Dose production by FSS – Patan: 21,08,100 3. Maintenance of indigenous breed animals in the Cattle Breeding Farms: Thara:

144 (Kankrej), Mandavi: 347 (Kankrej), Bhuj: 208 (Kankrej); 181 (Banni), Bhutvad: 208 (Gir)

4. Coverage of cattle head under Livestock Insurance Scheme: 21,602 5. Manpower development (training) at FSS – Patan: 381 and TTC – Morbi: 209

I would like to appreciate and congratulate all the officers and employees of GLDB and other Institutes working with us for their valuable contribution and outcome registered by GLDB in the financial year 2015-16.

2. AN OVERVIEW

Gujarat Livestock Development Board was established as a State Implementing Agency (SIA) in the year 2002. Main objective of SIA is to promote scientific breeding of Cattle and Buffalo in the State. GLDB provides required inputs for development of infrastructure facilities for efficient and qualitative AI services at animal owner’s door step. It also provides assistance in distribution of Frozen Semen Doses (FSD), LN2 transport and related ancillary facilities to the AI centres of the Department of AH and private AI centres (Gopalmitra centres). GLDB has established 689 Gopalmitra centres throughout the state.

With the discontinuation of NPCBB-II (National Project for Cattle and Buffalo Breeding Phase II), the Central government has initiated NPBBDD (National Project for Bovine Breeding and Dairy Development). Under this project, state has received funds worth Rs. 920.00 lakhs for strengthening of breeding infrastructure in the state and Gir cow sanctuary in lines with Gokul Gram. Gir sanctuary will be established at Dharampur, Ta., Dist. Porbandar in coordination with Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh.

GLDB is also implementing Breed Improvement Project in 43 tribal talukas of the state since 2011-12. Under this project State and Central Governments contributed to the tune of 70% and 30% fund respectively, making the size of project worth Rs. 10,631.00 lakhs. Main objective of the project is to conserve indigenous breeds, enhance production of milch animals and educate people associated with animal husbandry in the tribal belt of the state.

Under National Dairy Plan I (NDP I) GLDB is implementing Strengthening of Semen Station (SSS) – Patan project. Total of Rs. 576.51 lakhs were sanctioned by World Bank through NDDB – Anand under NDP I for this project.

GLDB is having State Frozen Semen Production and Training Institute (SFSPTI) – Patan, four Frozen Semen Banks, three LN2 distribution centres, four Cattle and one Buffalo Breeding Farms and Technical Training Centre (TTC) – Morbi, Dist. Morbi.

The State Frozen Semen Production and Training Institute - Patan, equipped with state of the art technology and infrastructure, produces Frozen Semen Doses and supplies them under stringent quality norms. It has been accredited Grade “A” institute by Central Monitoring Unit (CMU) constituted by Government of India, since its establishment. It has achieved substantial growth in production and sale of high quality Frozen Semen Doses (FSD) during 2015-16. It has also supplied Frozen Semen Doses to various state and national agencies for their breeding programmes.

The Training Institutes of Morbi and Patan are instrumental in providing manpower development under centrally sponsored NPCBB project and RKVY schemes of Department of Animal Husbandry, Government of Gujarat. They have organized various training programmes for Para-vets, Private AI workers, Livestock Inspectors and Officers of Department of Animal Husbandry of the state.

GLDB is implementing Livestock Insurance Scheme (LIS) since 2005-06, to safeguard livestock owners from economic losses suffered due to eventual loss of their valuable
