ANSWER
THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR FISHERIES, ANIMAL HUSBANDRY AND
DAIRYING
(PROF. S. P. SINGH BAGHEL)
(a) The details of the number of animals tagged and registered category-wise using unified
12-digit unique Identification number under Bharat Pashudhan database of National Digital
Livestock Mission (NDLM) for all transactions related to Livestock Health, Breeding and
Disease traceability is at Annexure-I.
(b) No, Sir. However, Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying is implementing a
component Nationwide Artificial Insemination Programme of Rashtriya Gokul Mission and
under the component data regarding artificial insemination and its follow up is recorded in
Bharat Pashudhan / NDLM database.In Andhra Pradesh, due to implementation of Rashtriya Gokul Mission and other schemes
implemented by Government of India, the productivity of indigenous and non-descript cattle
has increased by 55.65% between 2014-15 and 2023-24 from 2.30 kg per animal per day in
2014-15 to 3.58 kg per animal per day in 2023-24. The productivity of buffaloes has increased
by 10.37% between 2014-15 and 2023-24 from 6.07 kg per animal per day in 2014-15 to 6.70
kg per animal per day in 2023-24.
(c) and (d) Under the distribution of legislative powers between the Union and the States
(Article 246(3) of the Constitution) preservation of animal is a matter on which the State
legislature has exclusive powers to legislate. There is no provision under Rashtriya Gokul
Mission to support Gaushalas, Gosadans, and Pinjarapoles/animal shelters. However, the
Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying has supported establishment of National
Kamdhenu Breeding Centre for southern region at Chintaladevi, in Nellore district with the
aim of development and conservation of indigenous breeds including Ongole breed in scientific
and holistic manner and establishment of Gokul Gram for development and conservation of
Ongole breed of cattle at Chadalwada, in Prakasam district. Further, the Animal Welfare Board
of India (AWBI) grants recognition to the registered non-profit organization and gaushalas who
works primarily for welfare of animals.
(e) In the State of Andhra Pradesh, a total of 84,241 artificial insemination have been
performed using sex sorted semen and so far percentage of female calves born as per National
Digital Livestock Mission is 89.47%.
At present bulls with known genetic merit are produced under progeny testing programme
being implemented through implementing agencies including Andhra Pradesh Livestock
Development Agency and are made available for semen production. As per Best Linear
Unbiased Prediction (BLUP) estimates made at National Development Dairy Board (NDDB),
the average reliability of young bulls produced under the programme is about 30%.
As informed by the State, Genomic testing is being done for all the progeny tested bulls
maintained at semen station for assessing their genetic merit and so far 136 bulls available at
semen stations have been genomically tested. As per Genomic Best Linear Unbiased Prediction
(GBLUP) estimates made at National Dairy Development Board average reliability of bulls is
about 42%. Estimated breeding value data is submitted before breeding value estimation
committee constituted involving all stakeholders including Indian Council of Agriculture
Research (ICAR).
The details of productivity of bovines, category wise in Kg/ animal/ day in Andhra Pradesh is
at Annexure-II.Annexure-I
