No. 3I3Z P-6[- Dated 2NJoy 2023 From ‘The Director General Animal Husbandry & Dairying Haryana, Panchkula To The Additional Chief Secretary to Govt. Haryana Animal Husbandry & Dairying Department Chandigarh Subject: - Scheme for conservation and development of indigenous cattle and Murrah Development for the year 2023-24 (N) Memo ‘This scheme in principle stands approved by the Government in the State Revenue Budget for the year 2023-24 for which an amount of Rs. 700.0 Lakhs is earmarked. It is a non-staff scheme and will be implemented with the help of the existing staff. 1. Brief Background:- Haryana holds a significant place in Livestock sector of the India, Haryana is having 2.1 % bovine population of country but produces 5.26 % of total milk production of India, The annual milk production of Haryana for year 2021-22 is 116.29 Lakh tonne and latest per capita per day availability of the milk in the State is 1081 Gms. The state is home tract of world famous Murrah Buffaloes and Hariana Cows. As per 20!" Livestock census-2019, the State is having 38.49 Lakh Indigenous Buffaloes and 7.6 Lakh Indigenous Cows. 2, Justification of Scheme:- > This scheme is being implemented by the department in the State with the objective of conservation and development of the indigenous breeds of cows and buffaloes. > Being the home tract of famous cow and buffalo breeds, the State is under moral, social and national obligation to undertake integrated development of buffalo breed Murrah and Hariana, Sahiwal and Belahi breed of cattle. The potential to enhance the productivity of the Indigenous breeds through professional management and appropriate nutrition is immense. For this, itis essential to promote conservation and development of indigenous breeds. > In spite of having quality genetic resources, the productivity of indigenous cows in the State has not increased up-to the desired level, mainly because of indiscriminate breeding, poor management conditions and unscientific feeding practices. > It needs no emphasis that India possesses more than half of the buffalo population of the world with a majority of the recognised breeds. Haryana, being the home tract of the world famous Murrah buffaloes, has a prominent place on the animal husbandry and dairying map of the country. Prior to start of Integrated Murrah Development scheme, high yielding Murrah buffaloes were used to be selectively purchased by middlemen and sold to dairies in metro cities. After end of lactation, on becoming dry, these buffaloes usually ended up in slaughter houses of the metro cities. In this way a highly valuable germplasm of such an important breed of buffaloes was being lost,4 v Murrah buffaloes are great milk producers with high fat content (6.5 - 9 %) and in addition, efficient feed converters even when fed on poor quality roughages. Further, it is source of quality lean meat and valuable draught power. Most of the States procure their breeding stock from Haryana for up-gradation of their low producing buffalo population. The fast genetic improvement of Murrah is not only the top priority for our State but also a national concen. The top quality Murrah germplasm presently available in the State needs to be identified through performance recording for preservation and further multiplication. Therefore, to encourage the farmers to conserve and up-grade the valuable genetic resource, this Scheme is being implemented. Long term objectives:- i. Conservation and up-gradation of valuable indigenous germplasm available in the State. ii, Increase in milk production and overall productivity. Medium term objectives (5 years Horizon):- i, Identification of top quality germplasm of indigenous breeds of Cow and buffalo and their insemination with high quality semen for sustainable genetic improvement. ii, Encouraging the farmers to rear and breed high yielding animals of genetic merit, Description of Scheme:- Murrah buffaloes meeting the bench mark of 18 kg daily peak yield would be properly identified (with ear tags) along with their progeny. Cash incentives ranging from Rs. 15,000/- to Rs. 30,000/- would be provided to owners of these buffaloes. Hariana, Sahiwal and Belahi cows, meeting the bench mark of 8 kg, 10 kg and 5 Kg peak yield respectively would be properly identified (with ear tags) along with their progeny. The cash incentives ranging from Rs. 5000/- to Rs, 20,000/- would be provided to owners of these cows. The beneficiaries will be under obligation not to sell the buffalo/eow and its progeny for at least one year as the main objective of scheme is to conserve the indigenous breeds of Cow and buffalo. ‘The identified animals would be insured and part of insurance premium will be borne under the prevailing insurance scheme if any, and rest will be paid by the beneficiary as per insurance scheme. If no Livestock Insurance Scheme is in operation then the beneficiary would have to. arrange for the insurance of the animals on its own and the insurance premium shall be paid by the beneficiary.Cash incentive at the following rates in different slabs would be provided to the owners of the recorded Murrah Buffaloes as below: Slabs of Lactation yield in Kg Incentive M ) (Peak Yield in Kg) ncouttredaney (RS) 1810 22Ke Rs. 15,000/- 32210 25 Kg Rs. 20,000- above 25.

Annual Objective and Targets:- A target to identify 850 Murrah buffaloes and 1600 indigenous cattle has been laid down by the department for the year 2023-24, however, the benefit under the scheme would not be denied to any eligible owner of Murrah buffalo / indigenous cattle simply because of the reason of achievement of cent-percent targets. This target would not restrict milk recording of more buffaloes/cattle, if otherwise found eligible. The department intends to implement this scheme with an outlay of Rs. 700.00 lac in the current Annual Plan 2023-24, 7. The expected impacts are as follows:- > Migration of quality germplasm will be reduced if not stopped altogether. » ‘In situ’ Murrah/indigenous cattle Germplasm Bank would become available from where other States and organization can meet their demand for good quality genetic material required to upgrade their stock.8.

Field performance recording for production performance:- Identification of bull mothers and their categorization according to production potential is the preferred strategy under our conditions where record keeping by farmers is totally missing. The present practice of recording the peak milk production at a Public Institution (in full public view) following a prior notice of one/two weeks by the following committee would continue. The committee for recording peak milk yield of the buffaloes would be as follows- Deputy Director, Animal Husbandry or his/her representative not below the rank of Sub Divisional Officer (AH) Semen Bank Officer / any Veterinary Surgeon deputed by Deputy Director Area Veterinary Surgeon Concerned BLEO or area VLDA Representative of Village Panchayat- Sarpanch or Ward Member or ‘Nambardar * Only the animals possessing true breed characteristics will be allowed to participate in the performance recordings will be ensured by the committee.
