EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Hindustan Zinc limited is a separate body of Vedanta Corporate. As it is working on profit making side of business, it has its own corporate social responsibilities. Following the map of Corporate Social Responsibility it works in every area of development sector. Livestock management is one of its projects on which HZL is working since last two years. Livestock Management project of HZL basically focuses on cattle cross breed improvement by Artificially Insemination to the cows/buffaloes. For larger impact and superior success of this project HZL has signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with BAIF on Oct, 2009. The Programme is running for the last two years but it was not evaluated by any person in the organization. First time the Programme has been taken for consideration for evaluation, and in two months I did my best to come out with the real picture of the project. The Programme is running in five units of HZL which is spread in four districts of Rajasthan namely Rajpura Dariba Mines (RDM), Zinc Smelter Debari (ZSD), Rampura Agucha Mines (RAM), Zawar Mines (ZM), and Chanderiya Lead Zinc Smelter (CLZS). It covers 26 villages in total. For study all twenty six villages were taken. Sample size was variable, 20% of beneficiaries were taken in some villages whereas 50% beneficiaries were taken in few villages. The method adopted for the data collection was Personal Interview and Focused Group Discussion. The data collection has done by taking five parameters- awareness, disease control, productivity, mortality, maternity and most importantly artificial insemination. Awareness about different diseases like Foot and Mouth disease (FMD), Hemorrhagic Septicemia (HS) and Black Quarter (BQ), its effects and presence in last few years have been checked. These parameters showed how the Programme has affected cattle farming in the area. Although many limitations came out during collection of different data, the collected data reveals many positive and negative aspects of the Programme. The programme has made x
many valuable impacts and improved the condition of livestock in the area. Limitations of the Programme were also highlighted in the report and some recommendations and suggestions were given so that by following the report overcoming the limitations the Programme could be improved further. The findings showed that nearly 98% sample farmers were aware of FMD and HS and at the same time nearly 99% cattle were artificially inseminated in an effective manner. The credit of this awareness goes to Hindustan Zinc Limited because the farmers feel that it is Hindustan Zinc Limited has who made them conscious by providing livestock caring facilities and knowledge sharing. During the interview schedule when local people were questioned about the contribution of HZL for livestock management, they cooperated in all possible manners. Few people had an opinion that if after three or four years, HZL would charge 20 to 50% of the total cost incurred on one artificial insemination, then they would have no problem in paying the amount. A few cattle owners were unaware of the activities carried out by HZL at the same time a few people were aware of it but they were never a part of it. During the study it is found that they also wanted to be a part of HZL for imparting awareness among other cattle owners. Completing a study in limited time itself is a challenge for any researcher and as a young researcher I did my best to complete the whole research as scheduled. As a researcher, I have learnt from the study about different breeds of cows, buffalos and other livestock management aspects like maintenance, information about different cattle diseases and its effect. I acquired clear understanding about how livestock would be a livelihood option which would ultimately develop socio economic condition of a society.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
Livestock development and management has always been a concern in the context of Indian economy, along with agriculture. The past and present extension approaches has laid higher emphasis on transfer of technology to increase overall production and enhance income level of livestock owners. Animal Husbandry and Dairy Development plays a prominent role in the rural economy in supplementing the income of rural households, particularly, the landless, the small and the marginal farmers. It also provides subsidiary occupation in semi, small and marginal farmers. India is endowed with the largest livestock population in the world. It accounts for 57 per cent of the worlds buffalo population and 14 per cent of the cattle population. According to Livestock Census (2003), the country has about 18.5 crore cattle and 9.8 crore buffaloes. In India, Rajasthan is endowed with largest livestock population. Livestock is an essential asset to the rural poor, both to those directly engaged in agricultural production and to poor non-farm rural households who rely on local production for affordable nutrition. Animal production confers many economic advantages by small farm operations, and in the era, rising urban incomes and improving market access for animal products profitability is increasing. If small farmers can participate more effectively in food market growth then they can also contribute significantly to generate livelihood through livestock management. Some people in rural areas also use livestock for economic purpose for the emergency period. They sell it as and when needed, like marriage, disease treatment etc. So, there is need of livestock development as it has very good potential to make a small, marginal and landless farmer economically sustainable. Sustainable livelihood through livestock farming was the main aim of Hindustan Zinc Limited behind their livestock management project so that farmer can have maximum utilization of their resources.
The significance of the livestock management at Hindustan Zinc Limited was to work on critical issues hampering the growth of the livestock sector which were non-availability of feed and fodder, healthcare and market outlets, timely technical guidance and information on disease outbreaks. HZL worked with cattle owners to change their mindset about cattle farming is also as beneficial as agriculture farming by giving them a thought to transforming their problems into opportunity. For future prospect they imbibed this thinking to cattle owner about opening dairy farm by educating them on different issue of livestock. HZL gave has given them opportunity to know cattle farming in different states. Animal husbandry has potential to provide food and nutritional security. HZLs major objective was to breed low yielding, nondescript cattle and buffaloes with genetically superior exotic or improved Indian breeds while ensuring genetic improvement of elite native breeds. The newly born high yielding cows and buffaloes are a reliable source of livelihood generation. The means of income works even in drought prone areas. The main areas of intervention by Hindustan Zinc Limited was to improve the livestock progeny by providing facilities like artificial insemination (A.I.) services, animal health service, training and extension services. ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION Artificial Insemination (A.I.) is a popular, simple and inexpensive treatment of infertility in animals, in which the sperm from the male is collected and introduced artificially into the reproductive tract of the female for conception. A.I. Technique The process of artificial insemination in cattle involves the deposition of semen in the vagina of the cow, at the most appropriate time for acceptable conception rates. This is the same way conception is achieved after natural mating. However, this technique has been altered due to its low conception rates and high requirement of sperms. As a result, another technique called 'recto-vaginal technique' is quite popular today. This technique involves the insertion of a disposable, sterile catheter containing thawed semen into the 2
vagina of the cow. The catheter is then guided into the spiral folds of the cervix into the uterus, with the help of a gloved hand in the rectum. Some part of the semen is deposited inside the uterus, while the rest of it is left in the cervix as the catheter is withdrawn. In this process the animal are inseminated by frozen semen with the help of artificial instrument called A.I. gun. A.I. is a tool of breed improvement in animals. In this method of breeding the nondescript & low genetic potential animal (mostly cows and buffaloes) are inseminated by frozen semen of high yielding cows and buffaloes respectively. It results in birth of cross breed progeny from nondescript animal which is much better in terms of milk production & reproduction capacity in comparison to its mother. In India and Rajasthan the most popular cross breeds are Holstein Friesian and Jersey (Milk production is 6000 lit. in lactation period of 300 days) in cows and Murrah in buffaloes. In the process of artificial insemination first of all heat detection of animal is performed by A.I. worker by rectal palpation, then A.I. gun is loaded from frozen semen after thawing ( Process by which semen is brought up to atmospheric temperature to activate the sperm) and Finally insemination of animal. After two or three month of artificial insemination the animals are examined for confirm pregnancy i.e. called Pregnancy Diagnosis and after the end of gestation period of animal it gives birth to a cross breed calf. Advantages of Artificial Insemination The advantages of artificial insemination in cattle are as follows: Quality Sires: During natural breeding, males deposit more than the theoretically required quantities of semen into the female's reproductive tract for conception. A.I. method involves dilution of collected semen so as to create hundreds of doses from one ejaculate. Thus, A.I. makes superior sire semen to be available to hundreds of female cows. Artificial insemination in dairy cattle leads to sires of inheritance for butter fat and milk production.
Decreased Costs and Increased Safety: Bulls are bigger and stronger than cows and generally quite difficult to handle around the farm. Their aggressive nature can make them potential threats on the farm. However, A.I. eliminates the need to have a bull on the farm, as semen can be easily transported to various geographical areas. They can also be stored for a long period of time, which means the semen from a male can be used even after a bull's natural reproductive life ends. Since maintaining males costs quite a bit, A.I. decreases the overall costs on the farm. Reduction in Disease Transmission: The transfer of venereal diseases is quite likely to happen during natural mating. Certain pathogens can be transferred via the semen into the female, during A.I. as well, however, the screening done after semen collection prohibits this transfer. Genetic Selection Improvement: Since once released semen from male cattle is enough to produce more than hundreds of offspring, the best few males can be selected for breeding. This helps maintain the vigor of the cattle breed. Artificial insemination in beef cattle helps maintain the genetic pool, thereby obtaining the right strain of beef cattle required for meat production. Despite all the pros, A.I. do have its share of cons. Artificial insemination in cattle requires dexterity, patience, knowledge, experience as well as specialized equipments. Improper ways of carrying out A.I. in animal species, such as improper sterilization of equipments, insanitary conditions, etc. can nullify the efforts taken to obtain conception. The severe climatic conditions prevalent in most parts of India make transportation and preservation of semen difficult. Moreover, the need for superior germ plasm has reduced the market for bulls.
India is characterized by the dry land/rain fed land that constitutes about 70% of the arable land. These areas face great instability in crop production due to erratic and inadequate rainfall. In the face of uncertainties in the crop production due to dry land/ rain fed farming, livestock production has been found to provide economic stability to the farmers. The dry land/rain fed land can sustain livestock better than crop production (Perumal, M. et al.). Livestock sector is a major factor in fulfilling the fat and protein requirement of a growing population. Against a world average of 25 grams per person per day of animal protein in diet, the Indian diet contains just 10gm. As such, the development of livestock is essential for maintaining the nutritional level, particularly of growing children and nursing mothers. This sector contributes 5.59 per cent of Indias GDP. It provides regular employment to about 11 million in principal status and 8 million in subsidiary status and 8 million in subsidiary status. Women constitute 69 per cent of the labour force in livestock section (Economic Survey, India, 2002-03, p.163). Livestock products belong to one such category of commodities, which if not handled properly, can perish soon. Further, unhygienic methods of handling of livestock products and produce from diseases animals also make the produce sub-standard in the international market. Organised slaughter of animal forms a negligible proportion. Most slaughter takes place in unorganised sector in clandestine ways in backyards and streets. Even in the case of official municipal abattoirs, modern facilities and hygienic conditions are not provided (Bhanja, S. K. 2000).
To generate baseline data on livestock, livelihood and socio-economic condition of the targeted villages so as to understand the socio-economic status and income generation customs of the cattle owners.
To collect information on the disasters, diseases and outbreak of livestock and to find out the impact of livestock on the economy of the concerned areas.
3.4 Variables of Study: Activities undertaken during the period by the researcher: Door step services of artificial insemination, PD (pregnancy diagnosis), calf verification, calf rearing & management in cows & buffaloes for breed improvement. Organization of farmers training programme for awareness of integrated livestock development programme. Health coverage through de-worming (4 times) & vaccination (H.S., FMD & B.Q.) (2 times). Infertility & treatment camps including general diseases and nutritional support to milching animals. Concentrated feed support to pregnant animals & female calf. Fodder demonstration programme in cultivated & waste land. Insurance of cross breed & improved breed of cow & buffaloes female calf.
2. Questionnaire & Schedule Methods Both the questionnaire & schedule which
Researcher prepared comprised of a list of questions arranged in a sequence pertaining to the investigation. This supplemented researcher in the dissertation by asking questions regarding households, income, A.I, vaccination, livestock asset, 8
and activities involved in training and camps from which the information thus obtained were tabulated.

It is one of the 33 districts of Rajasthan state in western India. The historical city of Udaipur is the administrative headquarters of the district. Udaipur district comprises seven sub-divisions: Girwa, Kherwada, Mavli, Vallabhnagar, Kotda, Jhadol and Salumber. These sub-divisions are further divided in to 11 tehsils. Latitude and Longitude of Udaipur is 24058 N and 73068 E respectively. The Latitude and Longitude of Rajsamand is 25004 N and 73053 E respectively. The Latitude and Longitude of Bhilwara is 25021 N and 74040 E respectively. The Latitude and Longitude of Chittaurgarh is 24054 N and 74042 E respectively. Being located in the desert lands of Rajasthan, the climate and weather of Udaipur is usually hot. The climate of study area is tropical. The summer season runs from mid March to June and touches the temperature 11
of min. 28.80C and max. 380C. The winter season touches the temperature of min.11.60C max.28.30C. The city annually receives around 637 mm of rainfall. 4.5 GROUP SOCIAL POLICY Environment, Occupational Health, Safety, Security and Community Policy HZL believes in sustainable development in harmony with nature and accordingly, is committed to the effective management of health, security and safety of all its employees, protecting its surrounding environment and making a contribution to the development of the local community. This commitment encompasses efficient use of natural resources, protection of assets and provision of a safe workplace with support systems for zero harm to the environment. Accordingly, HZL will strive to: Maintaining management systems for health, safety, security, environment and the community that are in compliance with law and consistent with world-class standards like ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001. Developing a working culture conducive to continuous improvements in performance without compromising with safety, security and health of its employees and its commitment to develop in harmony with nature. 4.6 CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR) With the introduction of Global Compact towards the end of the century the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been reinforced. The modern corporation has grown phenomenally impacting various constituencies of civil society. The social obligation of the corporation was highlighted as a proactive step to certain practices of business which undermine human rights, healthcare, labor standards, environments, poverty, and minimum education among others. One of the developments has been creation of voluntary organizations, which serve the underprivileged sections of civil society. The campaign of CSR has been actively supported by multilateral agencies like the World Bank, OECD, and The European commission, among others. In fact, in present 12
times CSR roles and responsibilities of large corporations have been explicitly identified and evolved world-wide. In order to minimize the incidence of corporate governance problems, guidelines and codes based on country experiences are being adopted both by developed and developing countries. In fact, even before the world-wide debate started some large companies and multinationals all over the world were already engaged in corporate philanthropy. However, as the community and stakeholders expectations become more and more diverse, it became necessary to mandate the corporation to respond to these requirements. Since the 1990s a number of developments such as increasing democratization of governments, creation of newer social and economic institutions, rapid growth of volunteerism in the form of non-profit organizations, rapid growth of volunteerism in the form of non-profit organizations, increasing consumer awareness, focus on the need for reducing poverty, dealing with the human rights issues, among others, have reinforced the need to articulate policies and actions to incorporate corporate action and emphasized the concept and practice of corporate responsiveness. Since corporations have social obligation, the concept of corporate social performance has been advocated which would enable the corporations to focus on the required content of corporate social action. The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) has defined corporate social responsibility as the commitment of business to contribute to sustainable economic development. The primary purpose of CSR is to engage with the internal and external stakeholder. CSR is concerned with treating the stakeholders of the firm ethically or in a socially responsible manner. The aim of social responsibility is to create higher standards of living, while preserving the profitability of the corporation. CSR measures should focus on benefiting people and communities other than those whom they (the company) are contractually obliged to, namely, those who are socially and/or economically disadvantages.

5.9 Mode of Treatment details of all units : Once a year government provides facilities for treatment of livestock and in other season cattle owners go to private hospitals which are expensive. After intervention of Hindustan zinc limited cattle owners get utmost benefit by their facilities both in awareness and treatment. In all intervened villages of Hindustan zinc limited cattle owners prefer modern treatment after its intervention. Only few samples of Dariba and Debari village was found practicing traditional treatment.

5.14 Problems details of all units: In livestock management, different problems can be seen in different units which include non availability of fodder, scarcity of fund, lack of knowledge about health and care, poor accessibility of extension services which can be seen in figure 5.14 for which researcher had five sample from each village in all five units. These poor accessibility of extension service included the limited medicines which were distributed through camp. Due to limited number of medicines, few cattle owner returned back without taking medicines.

Figure 5.14: Problems details in all the units. GENERAL FINDINGS: In each unit maximum number of H.F and Murrah breed is there. Maximum number of hybrid cow is there as compared to hybrid buffaloes. In Agucha unit, maximum number of Gir is there as compared to other unit. Those villages in which A.I. took place in maximum number had highest production of milk and dairy work is more in those villages. Like in Oda (Zawar), Salera (Chanderia), Sultanpura (Agucha), Bicchari and Govala Futia (Debari). Vaccination took place in each village now and previously also at scheduled time. Only one case of Galgotu found in Debari in Govala Futia village. Cattle owner prefer modern treatment practice. Tick is prevalent in all units but it is more prominent in Zawar unit. In each unit cattle owner went to one of the training program like FTP (Farmer Training Program), Anand Dairy (Gujarat) and Karnal (Haryana) organized by HZL. Only in Agucha unit cattle owner went to Karnal training also. 47
Fodder is provided to each beneficiary at proper time. Green fodder is also distributed at scheduled time. In Chanderiya unit, we found in our study that number of buffaloes increased from 15 to 81 from October 2009 to May 2011 in Billiya village near CLZS. Out of 81 buffaloes 20 are female calf.
The camps are being taken place in regular basis and vaccination, de-worming is being done along with distribution of medicines. Insurance is done to female calves when they become 4 month old. In RAM, doctor claims 100% vaccination and zero mortality in all CSR operational villages and they also started Free Artificial Insemination in 22 Panchayat with Govt. through 14 hospitals and sub center along with vaccination.
The participation of youth is the strength of the area. No animal mortality in two year found in Agucha and Dariba. The availability of market is the opportunity available. The prices of milk and livestock in the market has been decided by the middleman is the threat.
48
Market availability The culture and tradition allow people to have livestock in their houses. But they are not able to use it more for livelihood purpose. There is good market available but veterinary services were poor. People were aware about management of the livestock and some of 49
them are using livestock as livelihood option. Some people are also using livestock for economic purpose for the emergency period. Now, there is need of livestock development as there was very good potential and environment available for livestock. This will help people to their sustainable livelihood. People were ready to start livestock development but there was scarcity of fund. There should be need of development of credit system or facility to access extension services form government. The market was available but that needed to be linked to the villagers. This will motivate the people to rear the animals with utmost care as it was going to provide revenue to them. The linking to the credit institutions should also be done. Example - Dairy. Villagers Contribution Livestock is an essential asset to the rural poor, both to those directly engaged in agricultural production and to poor non-farm rural households who rely on local production for affordable nutrition. Animal production confers many economic advantages on small farm operations, and in an era of rising urban incomes and improving market access animal products have increasing potential as marketable commodities. If small farmers can more effectively participate in food market growth can contribute significantly to livelihoods of the poor rural majority. There were chances of equal participation of women. The male were predominantly engaged in wage labor. The spare time was for agricultural practices. The women helped in agricultural activities as well as take care of the livestock than men and thus in case if any training about how to go about the caring and keeping of livestocks was being imparted to them this would help the household to have better living conditions. The findings from our research are that livestock development in periphery villages of Hindustan Zinc Limited in all the units can be sustainable livelihood option for peoples. However, strategies are needed to engage poor households and minimize potential negative impacts of larger scale livestock based livelihood activities. Livestock research and development can be effective if attention is paid to meeting the needs of poor villagers and minimizing their risks to fodder security. Forming partnership with agencies and government can facilitate the flow of useful technologies in the area. Meeting growing domestic livestock based products demand is possible if more villagers adopt livestock based livelihood activity. 50
Livestock intensification will be a revolution for some people and motivating factor for other people.
6.2 RECOMMENDATIONS Training More skill oriented training could be organised for villagers so that they can take proper care of the livestock and reduce the death toll due to seasonal diseases among the livestock. Training could also be imparted on vermicompost and proper management with maximum utilisation of its resources. Special programmes should be developed to promote economic management of small ruminants by providing critical inputs and services through their Self Help Groups and assisting in forward and backward linkages.
Health Care Veterinarians should be encouraged to practice in close association with the villagers, to take proper care of the livestock and go for routine checkups. In the past there have been instances where due to lack of proper treatment by the veterinarians there has been death of the cattle and so the people feel that if the cattle die even after the treatment then what the use of availing treatment is? They feel that there is no use in investing for treatment on their livestock. Their accessibility to avail benefits from the block level should be made easier and simpler (as it was found that people avail minimal benefits from the Block). When we enquired the Block office, the Veterinarian officer said that people did not come to the block office/sub-centre at all. So there should be a connecting link to be established. Strategy for Feed Management The animals mostly had open grazing system, and fewer households bought fodder from outside regularly. Fodder was bought only when there was acute shortage that too during the month of January to May so efforts should be made to develop pasture lands involving local communities through soil and water conservation, introduction of
51
improved legumes and grasses, forage tree species and prevention of grazing (to avoid overgrazing). Improvement of Nutritional Values: There is hardly nutritional content present in the fodder animals ate or when they grazed. Grasses are predominant only during the rainy season; rest of the time had dry leaves and dry matter. The major quantity of dry matter is contributed from paddy straws, wheat bhusa and trash, which are of poor nutritional value and with high fibre content. This will also help in augmenting the fodder shortage. Complete Feed Rations: To overcome nutritional imbalance in the field and to facilitate small farmers and landless to maintain their livestock under balanced feeding, decentralised complete feed production units can be established.
Fodder Banks: Establishment of fodder banks in fodder scarcity regions through Dairy Federations. Organisations can help small farmers to feed their livestock during scarcity. In paddy and wheat growing areas where the straw is wasted, facilities for compacting straw should be installed and arrangement should be made to collect and pack them. Fodder banks can play a critical role in timely supply of feed to livestock owners during the drought years. However in the absence of any buyers in good seasons, the stock remains unsold, causing heavy burden for the establishment. Hence, the experiences in the past have not been very encouraging. Therefore linking of complete feed production unit with fodder bank can be explored on a pilot scale.
Support for Small Farmers: For calf rearing, feed subsidy, insurance coverage, etc. which is being given to ensure their active role in helping to promote livestock as second livelihood option can be done in the best possible manner. . 52
Focus on Critical Areas: Some of the critical issues hampering the growth of the livestock sector are nonavailability of feed and fodder, healthcare and market outlets, timely technical guidance and information on disease outbreaks, price and supply of inputs and outputs and finance for investment. These problems can be solved through Public-Private Partnership (PPP). Hence the government should facilitate such schemes immediately. Voluntary agencies can play a significant role in the success of PPP, as they can motivate the farmers to take active part.
Card System: For the records of A.I., fodder distribution, medicines, vaccination, de-worming and insurance two cards should be made. One copy of card will be kept in HZL records and another card will be given to the beneficiaries.
Documentary Film: Different activities which are being done by HZL or must be needed for the betterment of Livestock Management can be shown through this documentary film. This include healthcare, sanitation, AI process, Pregnancy diagnosis test, delivery process, use of dung and how to use the limited sources in the best possible manner.
Pictorial Presentation: Discussion with farmers can be more effective during meeting if the pictorial presentation will be done for all activities which are being implemented in their village. This may include procedure, advantages, disadvantages, solutions of different activities.
Hoarding and wall painting: Hoarding and wall painting are the most important things which need to be implemented. Most of the people are illiterate and unable to read leaflets or parcha so by seeing a picture they will be able to understand.
53
CONCLUSION
In rural India where over 15-20% families are landless and about 80% of the land holders belong to the category of small and marginal farmers for whom, livestock is the main source of livelihood. In the absence of fertile lands and assured irrigation (which are controlled by a small population of rich farmers), lack of employment in the industrial and service sectors, most of the rural families belonging to socio-economically weaker sections of the society maintain different species of livestock to supplement their income. While the land owners prefer cattle and buffaloes, the landless prefer to own sheep and goat and if suitable market to them is provided then it could add to their standard of living. The findings from this research are that livestock development in periphery villages of Hindustan Zinc Limited in all the units can be sustainable livelihood options for the people. However, strategies are needed to engage poor households and minimize potential negative impacts of larger scale livestock based livelihood activities. Livestock research and development can be effective if attention is paid to meeting the needs of poor villagers and minimizing their risks to fodder security. Forming partnership with agencies and government can facilitate the flow of useful technologies in the area. Meeting growing domestic livestock based products demand is possible if more villagers adopt livestock based livelihood activity. Livestock intensification will be a revolution for some people and motivating factor for other people.
