‘Integration of Animal Husbandry and Agriculture
for
Sustainable Livelihood’
NEW CONCEPT IN AGRICULTURE & ANIMAL HUSBANDARY

2. Agriculture & livestock
Agriculture and Animal Husbandry contributes significantly towards our GDP. The livestock sector contributes more than 30% to Agriculture GDP
Farm land
Livestock wealth
Crop residues
Grains and
cash crops
Milk, Meat, Eggs, fuel, and Draught power
manure
Supplements income and nutritional needs
Major means of sustenance
Optimum resource utilization and value creation

3. The Great Revolution in the History of Agriculture:
Systematic Integration of Domestic Animals in Crop Rearing System
Draught Animal Power
Manure
Food and Nutrition
Agriculture by- products
This being a closed system, everything was recycled within.
Cash income was low, hence it was considered as non- productive.

4. Unintentional Disjoint in Livestock and Agriculture
Advent of
And its package of practices…
Unintentional Disjoint in Livestock and Agriculture
Chemical Fertilizer could not address soil humus
Seed and Breed got attention ; soil fertility depleted
Water and land resources- optimal utilization
Feed & fodder became scarce ?

5. Agriculture and Animal Husbandry are treated as different components today.
While fertilizers and pesticides are used for increasing the productivity and fertility of the crop but the fertility of soil is getting depleted.
The organic waste of livestock is creating pollution, which otherwise can be effectively used as a source of fuel energy.
The water consumption in Agri production is not accounted for and is leading to water wastage.

6. The Missing Link Technology Objectives Water conservation
Improving humus
Improve quality of animals
Sustainable livelihood
Generate Employment
Demonstration of a sustainable livelihood model through integration of animal husbandry.
Extension of technology to grass root level.
Training of the villagers to generate employment.
To train the farmers in the technique of Artificial Insemination for good quality breeds.
To improve soil humus and fertility

9. Ayurvet ProGreen Hydroponics Machine Building Health and Food Security
Solution Feed & Fodder
Ayurvet ProGreen Hydroponics Machine
Saves Water
Saves Land
Building Health and Food Security
Production equivalent to 1 hectare on an area of 265 sq ft

10. Livestock Health Benefits
Better Digestibility: more milk (22% more milk production)
Better Reproductive Health: more calf – more milk
Better Health: Saves on treatment cost
Goats
Cow
Calf
Buffaloes
Horses
Hydroponics green feed enhances Health, Productivity & Reproductive Efficiency of livestock

11. Food from Agriculture and Animal Sources
Solutions Food
Animal products provide the richest protein sources in diet
Additional food crops can be grown on the land dispensed by hydroponics fodder cultivation
Food from Agriculture and Animal Sources

12. Solution Fertilizer Improvement in soil fertility
Reduced dependence on synthetic fertilizers
Less cost of production

13. Solution Fuel & Fertilizer
1 cu m biogas replaces 400 g of LPG.
25 kg of cow dung => 1cu m biogas plant
By- product: Slurry (Valuable natural manure )
Biogas slurry can fulfill upto 50% of NPK requirement
Improves soil Humus
It is Pollution free & reduces dependence on wood and fossil fuels.

14. Results
 We undertook the mass campaign amongst the dairy and agriculture farmers and undertook the demonstration of the model.
The Department of Biotechnology under societal project approve an amount of Rs Crores towards the project.
The Technology Demonstration Centre (TDC) have been established . Each TDC consists of Ayurvet ProGreen Hydroponic fodder production machine, Biogas, silage and Vermicompost unit.  
Farmers have started inclination towards converting the cowdung into compost for organic farming. Converting the cowdung into biogas.
This initiative have shown improvement in the soil humus and has also led to better socio-economic status through entrepreneurial training , which led to self employment. The revenue earned by the rural youth is ranging from Rs.3000 – 5000/- monthly

15. Awareness cum mobilization meeting
Date: 17/11/12
Attendance: 150 people
Objective: To inform people about the project and our objectives and how we propose to work with them

16. Committed for Developing Sustainable Solutions
Integration of Animal Husbandry and Agriculture for Sustainable Livelihood
