Government Yojana: The central and state governments are implementing various initiatives aimed at providing financial support to livestock farmers. If you are interested in enhancing your income through animal husbandry, you may benefit from these government programs designed to help expand your dairy operations.
Financial support of up to Rs 40,000 per cow
These initiatives offer financial assistance to animal breeders, with support of up to Rs 40,000 per cow and Rs 60,000 per buffalo for their care and maintenance. This assistance is structured as a low-interest loan, enabling farmers to cover the costs associated with animal care, feed, and veterinary services. The primary goal of this program is to motivate farmers to engage in animal husbandry and improve their earnings.
Loans available that include a subsidy of up to 90%
Additionally, livestock farmers can receive government funding to acquire new animals, with loans available that include a subsidy of up to 90% on interest rates. This initiative aims to foster animal husbandry in rural communities and enhance farmers’ incomes. It is particularly advantageous for those looking to enter the field of animal husbandry with minimal financial investment.
The Uttar Pradesh government has introduced a scheme that provides subsidies for the purchase of indigenous breed cows and buffaloes, offering up to Rs 40,000 for high-quality breeds such as Gir, Sahiwal, and Tharparkar. Livestock farmers wishing to initiate their business by acquiring new animals can access loans of up to Rs 60,000 for cows and Rs 80,000 for buffaloes. This program can be extremely beneficial for individuals who face financial constraints in starting their animal husbandry ventures.
