According to teh minister, agriculture and allied sectors’ activities such as animal husbandry play an important role in doubling farmers’ income. ‘Increasing milch animal yield will automatically increase farmer income,’ he added.

Further he went on to statuing that the NDDB’s efforts have given milk producers much-needed confidence because they are receiving a fair share of the consumer price.

Livestock Management

The e-GOPALA platform assists farmers in managing their livestock, including the purchase and sale of disease-free germplasm in all forms (semen, embryos, etc.).

The app also informs farmers about the availability of quality breeding services (artificial insemination, veterinary first aid, vaccination, treatment, and so on) and guides them in animal nutrition and animal treatment using appropriate ayurvedic ethnoveterinary medicine.

The app has a mechanism for sending alerts on vaccination, pregnancy diagnosis, calving, and other due dates, as well as informing farmers about various government schemes.
