    The livestock sector has significant potential for improving the livelihoods of landless people and small and marginal farmers, who comprise the majority of India’s rural poor. However, resource and institutional constraints prevent poor producers from realizing the full potential of the animals they possess. Developing effective pro-poor livestock policies requires consideration of the political context and attention to the specific characteristics of poor livestock producers.

    Effective control of animal diseases is a critical element of any strategy that aims at supporting and enhancing livestock dependent livelihoods of rural poor. Over the years, the literature on delivery of livestock services has increasingly emphasized that the governments in developing countries have a public responsibility in ensuring that the incidence of animal diseases, specially those diseases that cause substantial economic losses for the poor, is reduced significantly so that the product ion and trade losses are minimized and private costs of treatment substantially reduced.
