| Abstract: |
The role of livestock as a major source of cash generation for farm families has emerged after two decades of persistent drive to promote livestock raising system in the country by the government and private agencies.The increased value of livestock based products e.g. carpet woolen goods, hides and skin up to Rs. 1812 million i.e 57.32% of the total overseas export trade in 1988/89, is a clear indication of its growing importance. However, livestock still hold a secondary role compared to the crop production ., in the overall fanning system in Nepal and the livestock development sector has to face several constraints co realize its full values and potentials in the country. Some of the major constraints are: feed insufficiency, unexploited animals genetic resources, inadequate resource management schemes, inadequate health and extension services and restricted marketing outlets. The waysand means to find out the proper solutions in order to alleviate these constraints would be through systematic research in all the fields of animal production. However, such efforts in the research activities were not made for thepast 30 years, with some exceptions in the developmental activities such as cross-breeding program and introductionof the new germplasms. Limited numbers of research conducted by some of the organizations in cattle, buffaloes,sheep, goats and fodders were not sufficient to generate appropriate technologies to insure increased production.The development policy and program focus and its strategy adopted in the seventh plan and proposed development process are summarized. The major issues of production, extension and research in title livestock sector are discussed at length. |
