Basic Animal Husbandry Statistics

Basic Animal Husbandry Statistics is an annual publication of the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry & Dairying based on the Animal Integrated Sample Survey data.

About Integrated Sample Survey

The Integrated Sample Survey is conducted as part of the Centrally Sponsored Scheme "Livestock Census and Integrated Sample Survey".  The scheme is being implemented by the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying through State Animal Husbandry Departments.

Under this scheme, the quantum of four major livestock products (MLPs) like Milk, Egg, Meat and Wool is estimated based on the annual sample survey namely “Integrated Sample Survey” both at National and State level. This has been an essential survey to measure the contribution of livestock sector and its products in the total economy.

The survey is carried out in the entire country covering 36 States/UTs both in rural and urban areas. The survey period is from March to February and the entire period of one year is divided into three seasons namely Summer (March-June), Rainy (July-October) and Winter (November-February). This helps in bringing up progressive estimates of aggregates and also takes care of seasonality if any in the characters under study.
