The following Scheme approved by theGovernment is published for the generalinformation of the public:—

PASHUPALAN SCHEME— Breeding andRearing of Cows/Buffaloes/Calves Scheme

Introduction.— The Livestock Economypenetrates sections of rural society bothvertically and laterally, supposedly moreequitably than land holdings.

Considerably there have been dramaticfavourable changes in livestock population andcomposition over the past five decades, butoverall impact on poor has not been much.

Goa has its own Breeding Policy andaccordingly animals are to be bred usingJersey semen. However, the local cattleowners find it very difficult to stall-feed theirunproductive indigenous cattle. This leads tothe animals roaming in the streets looking forgrazing patches or feeding from the dustbinsas scavenger cows. Deaths in these cows arereported due to consumption of plastic bagsover a period of time, which is total loss to thefarmer and the State. Unlike stray dogs, thestray cattle have owners, who due to their ownfinancial circumstances cannot stall feed theunproductive animals, as it is a further burdento their pocket. Presently, there is noGovernment scheme or any agency to takecare of the unproductive and low milk yieldinglocal animals. The promotion of dairyhusbandry through crossbreeding of lowproductive local cattle is therefore to be givenpriority as most of the villagers own a fewcattle. This programme will ensure techno--economic viability and prosperity to the smallfarmers. Local Cattle breeding, was initiatedby the Government of Goa in early 70’s, butwas not popular, due to the high feeding costduring stall feeding.

Considering this scenario, further researchand technology transfer are needed in areas

of genetic improvement, reproductiveefficiency, and nutrition and health care, allthese areas are equally important to improvethe overall quantity and quality of milkproduction. Genetic improvement in thisdirection can further promote economic andeco-friendly dairy husbandry, which the smallfarmers are looking forward for theirsustainable livelihood. There should be nolimitation to the number of animals coveredby individual farmer, or organisation.

Objectives.— The main objectives of thescheme are as follows:

To encourage the cross breeding of cows

and buffaloes.

To encourage rearing of cross-bred

calves & improved buffalo calves from birthto 27 months.

To encourage and uplift the S.C and S.T.

community.

To improve & sustain the productivity of

cattle & buffalo through use of ArtificialInsemination practices.

To assist the farmer financially in stall

feeding the local animals & rearing of thecross-bred calves & improved buffalocalves purchased alongwith the Kamdhenuanimals.

To indirectly reduce the menace of stray

cattle.

To help the farmers to rear the crossbred

calves from 16 months to 27 months incontinuation of the existing calf rearingschemes.

Eligibility.— All farmers availing theArtificial Insemination Facility for cattle andbuffalo and registered with the localGovernment Veterinary Services.

N.G.Os and other organizations availingthe A.I. to cows & buffaloes.

All farmers irrespective of their financialstatus.

All farmers having cross-bred calves up

to 15 months under Special Calf RearingScheme covered.
