Livestock produce food, provide security, enhance crop production, generate cash incomes for rural and urban populations, provide fuel and transport, and produce value added goods which can have multiplier effects and create a need for services. Furthermore, livestock diversify production and income, provide year-round employment, and spread risk. Livestock also form a major capital reserve of farming households. Because of livestock contribution to societies, when human economic pressures increase people can misuse livestock in ways which are detrimental to the environment. http://www.smallstock.info/ Major advisor (Guide): Dr. Shiv Prasad Kimothi General Secretary, Alumni Association Principal Scientist & Officer-In charge of Cattle Yard, NDRI.
