Introduction to animal husbandry Lesson 1 INTRODUCTION, COMMON TERMS AND DEFINITIONS IN ANIMAL HUSBANDRY 1.1 Introduction 1.2 Common Animal Husbandry Terms 1.1 Introduction Historical evidence shows that Veterinary Science was developed during Vedic Era in India and livestock used to play an important role in the society during 3000 B.C, as evidenced from Mohanjadaro and Harappa Civilization. The importance and role of livestock gradually increased and during 2000 B.C, Veterinary profession was a flourishing practice which can be traced from ‘Atharvaveda’ and ‘Rigveda’. Aryans who settled around riverine Northern India around 2400 – 1500 B.C were solely dependent on agriculture and livestock. Cattle were most prized possessions and were symbol of wealth and status. During the rule of Ashoka (300 B.C), hundreds of well equipped hospitals were established and veterinary profession gained much more importance. Vishnupuranam and Matysapuran described the criteria for selection of bulls for breeding purpose. Primitive man first used the members of family bovidae as a source of food. Domestication began when these animals were used as draft animals. Milking qualities were just sufficient for rearing of young ones. As civilization developed, feed became more abundant, methods of caring livestock improved. Under man’s selection they acquired qualities like rapid growth, better fat storage in body and increased milk production. The domestic animals reared by the modern man serve the humans by providing food, fibre, manure, pleasures, companionship and service besides nutrient recycling in soil and ecological stability to environment. In recent times the animals are only source of organic farming and in future, will serve as source of supply of inputs to many life saving pharmaceuticals and therapeutic agents for better human health and will be useful as animal models for biomedical research. 1.2 Common Animal Husbandry Terms Buller or Nymphomaniac: A cow apparently always in heat. Back crossing: Mating of crossbred back to one of the pure parents used to produce it. Balanced ration: Ration that contains all the nutrients in right proportions and quantities is called balanced ration. Bull Calf: A male calf under one year of age. Bull: It is un castrated sexually matured male of the species. Bullock: Castrated male Ox. Calf starter: Concentrate feed offered to the young calves after 2 weeks of age. Calf: A young animal of bovine species under one year of age. Casting: It is throwing down the animal and securing the limbs for various purposes like surgical operations, castration, hoof trimming, shearing etc. Castration: It is the removal of testicles. Challenge feeding: The practice of feeding higher levels of concentrate to challenge the cow to reach her maximum milk production. Concentrates: Feeds that contain less than 18% crude fibre are called concentrates such as grains, oilcakes, grain by products etc. Cow: It is a female of bovine species that has calved at least once. Crisscrossing or Rotational crossing: Mating of a hybrid to three established breeds in a rotational manner. Cross breeding: A system of breeding between two established breeds. Cryptorchid: A male animal in which one or both the testicles fail to descend into the scrotal sac. Culling: Removal of undesirable or unproductive animals from herd. Deticking: Removal of the external parasites like ticks, lice, mites present on the body surface of animal. Deworming: Removal of the internal gastro intestinal parasites from the body. Disbudding: Removal of the horn buds of the calf by mechanical or chemical methods to arrest growth of horns. Dry period: The time interval between date of drying off the cow to the date of next calving. Energy feeds: Feeds containing less than 20% crude protein are called energy feeds. Free martin: When twin calves of different sexes are born, the bull calf is normal whereas the heifer calf is sterile. The sterile heifer calf is called freemartin. Gestation period: The period of pregnancy in animals. Grading up: Systems of breeding in which pure bulls are used for improvement in non descript females for several generations. Heifer calf: A female calf under one year of age. Heifer: A female individual that has not yet calved. Inbreeding: A system of breeding between very closely related animals. Inheritance: Transmission of genes from parents to the offspring in next generation. Intercalving period: No of days between two successive calvings. Lactation Curve: The graphical representation of the rate of milk secretion during lactation is called Lactation Curve. Lactation length: The time interval between the date of calving to the date of drying the animal expressed in days. Maintenance ration: A ration given daily to the animal to maintain in resting non production condition with good health. Open animal: Female animals that have not been bred. Parturition: Act of delivery in animals.

  • Dairying in South Asian Region: Opportunities, Challenges and Way Forward M.N.A
    SAARC J. Agri., 15(1): 173-187 (2017) DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/sja.v15i1.33164 Status Paper DAIRYING IN SOUTH ASIAN REGION: OPPORTUNITIES, CHALLENGES AND WAY FORWARD M.N.A. Siddiky* SAARC Agriculture Centre, BARC Complex, Farmgate, Dhaka-1215, Bangladesh ABSTRACT South Asian region is blessed with high diversity of dairy animal genetic resources. The role of dairying in livelihood, nutritional and food security of millions of people living in south Asian countries has been well understood. Among livestock, dairy animal assumes much significance since dairying is acknowledged as the major instrument in bringing about socio-economic transformation of rural poor and sustainable rural development. Dairying provides a stable, year-round income, which is an important economic incentive for the small holder farmers. Dairying directly enhance the household income by providing high value output from low value input besides acting as wealth for future investment. This region is home for about 745 Million of Dairy Animal Populations that accounts 21% of global daily animals. Besides, 25% of world‘s cattle and buffaloes, 15% of the sheep and goat, and 7% of the camel are inhabitant in the region. South Asia is currently producing about 200 Million tons of milk that accounts around 20% of global production despite low productivity of the dairy animals. This study focused the data related to dairying in different countries of the region and situation analyses of input and delivery system for identifying the points of interventions to boosting dairy production and processing. In gist, this study documented the facts about the current dairying in the south Asia and envisages the priorities to make the dairying sustainable and more productive with the aim to cater the inclusive development of dairying in the region.

  • Add Veterinary Identification Tags Letter Ballot
    CP-643 Date: 2006/06/13 Add veterinary identification tags Letter Ballot DICOM Correction Item Correction Number CP-643 Log Summary: Add veterinary identification tags Type of Modification Name of Standard Addition PS 3.3, 3.5, 3.6, 3.16 2006 Rationale for Correction Veterinary applications require additional identifying attributes that define the owner as well as characteristics of the species and breed. These are added to all existing and future composite image and non-image IODs by specifying their inclusion in the General Patient and Patient Study modules. The attributes are required to be present if the subject is not a human (forcing their support by veterinary products, without interfering with the installed base of human products), but some may be empty (zero length) if unknown (e.g. the species or breed is unknown). The Patient Neutered value is added to the Patient Study Module, which may have different values for different studies, whereas values in the General Patient Module remain fixed for the life of the patient. The concept of other patient identifiers than the primary Patient ID attribute is generalized by the introduction of a sequence to encode other identifiers, each with a specified issuer and type, in order to encode anatomically-embedded identifiers like RFID chips. Additionally, an alternate understanding of the structure of the Patient Name is necessary in a veterinary context (where the patient does not have a “family name” but instead uses that of the owner). Corresponding attributes are also added to Modality Worklist. The Subject Context template in PS 3.16 is also updated.

  • Cattle Breeding Programmes in India
    Taneja Cattle breeding programmes in India V.K. Taneja Animal Husbandry Commissioner, Department of Animal Husbandry & Dairying, Krishi Bhawan, New Delhi-110 001 Cattle in India were primarily raised for milk and draught. The focus is currently on improving their milk production potential. This is in view of reduced requirement of draught animal power due to mechanisation and the need for more milk due to increasing demand. Cattle are generally maintained on agricultural by-products and crop residues with some grazing and little grain supplementation. The average holding size is one to three animals per household. The majority of the cattle are still managed under low inputs with only a few being raised under intensive management. Dairy cooperatives at village level for milk marketing have been established. In some areas these cooperatives are being used for delivering inputs and performance recording. Medium to large sized herds of cross-bred cattle have also arisen in the periphery of large towns and cities, mainly for supply of milk. Little or no information on the performance status of cattle breeds in their native environment is available. AI coverage is less than 20 percent and the AI services are available mostly at fixed places. Improvement in cattle production is also directed through feeding, generation of marketing facilities, advisory services and veterinary aid. To begin with the cattle breeding policy was to improve the milch and Breeding draught breeds through selection and the local cattle through up-grading. policy and Herds of pedigreed cattle of various indigenous breeds were established programmes for production of superior bulls for use in up-grading and improvement of indigenous breeds in their breeding tracts.

  • Strategy for Conservation of Farm Animal Genetic Resources
    ON CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT OF FARM ANIMAL GENETIC RESOURCES Trust for Advancement of Agricultural Sciences Avenue II, Indian Agricultural Research Institute New Delhi TRUST FOR ADVANCEMENT OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES (TAAS) Preamble Sustainable management of farm animal genetic resources is of vital importance to food, nutrition and environment security. Their conservation and judicious use is critical for the survival as well as improved livelihood of resource poor farmers. India is rich in its farm animal diversity being a mega biodiversity centre. However, currently many unique breeds are facing a threat of extinction for want of an appropriate conservation strategy and its effective implementation at the national/state level. Being a signatory to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA) and the Interlaken Declaration as well as Global Plan of Action on Animal Genetic Resources adopted in September 2007, India urgently needs to have a National Plan of Action, to manage, improve and conserve native/domestic/other valuable farm animal genetic resources. It is in this context that a select group of experts representing various stakeholders from national and international organizations participated in a brainstorming workshop on “Strategy for Conservation of Farm Animal Genetic Resources” organized jointly by the Trust for Advancement of Agricultural Sciences (TAAS) and the Birsa Agricultural University (BAU) from April 10 to 12, 2009 at Ranchi. Having deliberated at great length and considering the importance of the subject, the participants unanimously adopted the following declaration, to be referred henceforth as Ranchi Declaration: Declaration 1. We assert that India, without waiting for the stipulated time frame of 2011, should immediately prepare a National Plan of Action on management and conservation of farm animal genetic resources for its speedy implementation in accordance with Interlaken Declaration.
