After farming, animal husbandry is the second largest business for farmers. Many farmers like to do animal husbandry with farming, because animal husbandry is a very profitable deal with farming. More and more green and dry fodder for animals is obtained from farming. This is the reason that the government also brings various good schemes for livestock farmers, so that livestock farmers can be benefited as much as possible. Agriculture is the main means of income of the farmer, through which most of the livestock farmers of India can also meet the requirements.
Most farmers are unable to build houses for cattle due to weak economic conditions. Animals generally suffer in cold weather. Because the need for the house is the most during the winter. To protect animals from rain and cold, it is necessary to build sheds for animals. The government is providing a grant of Rs 1 lakh 60 thousand to the farmers to build sheds or houses for animals.
MNREGA cattle shed scheme will provide wide scale benefits to farmers. Significantly, farmers have to face shortage of milk in milch animals in general during the cold season. Actually, the main reason for this is the lack of proper house or shed for animals in the cold season. Under the MNREGA cattle shed scheme, subsidy is provided by the government to the farmers on the construction of houses for animals. This will ensure proper care of the animals. Urinal tanks etc. can also be arranged in the shed. This will not only take care of the animals but will also increase the income of the farmers. Also, the standard of living of farmers will improve.
