This book is written by Mahesh Kaushik. Mahesh Kaushik is a famous
blogger his blog http: //popati.blogspot.com/ help many persons to
increase their height. Read this quote "After practice of 2-3
months I noticed that my height is increasing. I think I got one
inch at the age of 35 years . Because my pants are short and my
wife and friends tell me "that I look longer." It was a miracle for
me so I am so exited and put all of my concentration on height
increase instead of getting spiritual powers, finally it will
increase near 3 inches. I have never mapped my height so I can not
provide an exact idea that how many inchs I get added on to my
height but since my puberty my elder brother is 3 inches taller
than me but after this meditation and acupressure in the age of 35
I wonder that I reach my elder brother's height. So I think I
gained 3 inches in my height." So this book is highly recommended
for low height persons
In India, both organized and traditional systems of poultry farming
are followed, but organized system is rapidly increasing due to
advancement of technology, availability of resources, increased
profitability and high entrepreneurship among poultry farmers. The
structure of India's poultry industry also varies from region to
region. While independent and relatively small-scale producers
account for the bulk of production, integrated large-scale
producers do account for a growing share of output in some regions.
Integrators include large regional firms that incorporate all
aspects of production, including the raising of grandparent and
parent flocks, rearing day old chicks, contracting production,
compounding feed, providing veterinary services, and whole selling.
Still the traditional backyard system is prevalent in majority
cases in rural areas. The raising per capita income of consumers,
vicinity of urban markets, agro-climatic conditions, availability
of labour and poultry farming practices are the important reasons
among others for disparity between organized and unorganized system
of poultry production.
Among the indigenous draught cattle breeds of Southern India,
Kangeyam and Hallikar breeds were utilized by many farmers. Rice
bran, straw, oilcakes, cotton seeds were the common feed that
farmers fed to the animals during the work days. The feed cost
varied from Rs.100 to Rs.255/pair/day. Shoeing was done at the age
of 2 years and 6 months and the cost of shoeing was Rs.250/pair.
The farmers were making the animal drawn implements with local
artisans and they were unaware of new implements to reduce the
drudgery of work cattle, designed by the Agricultural Machinery
Research Centres in India. They preferred bullocks than tractors
for certain agricultural operations and small fragmented &
water logged lands also needed bullocks. The cost of ploughing was
less while using the bullocks and the land fertility was also good.
The average number of days of utilization of bullocks in
agriculture was only 36 days in a year. The average annual working
days of bullocks for small farmers were 221 days, 156 days for
medium farmers and 47 days for large farmers. The farmers who were
getting employment in both hiring out and carting were getting
income of Rs. 86249 to Rs.88548/- in a year.
There are millions of people all over the world who live in and
rely on the forest. Some of the communities are exclusively living
on livestock resources. Given the importance of the forest and more
so the livestock raising in the forest by pastoralists, a study
entitled "Forest based dairy husbandry practices of Van Gujjars: A
case study in Nainital district," was taken up during 1999-2000 in
Tanda forest range of Nainital district. The case study method with
an anthropological approach was followed. The system of livestock
production was unique in the sense that it was totally dependent on
forest resources with very limited external inputs. Gujjars
preferred natural breeding of the buffaloes but had negative
attitude towards inbreeding . The buffaloes were maintained on
forest grazing, tree fodder, straws and with little concentrate
supplementation. The production level of the buffaloes was good.
The animals were healthy and well adapted to the system while
occasionally veterinarians' advice was sought by them, in case of
emergencies. The milk was sold to the middlemen at a considerable
rate. This low input - low output system of buffalo production
appeared to be sustainable.
In India, a large number of innovative initiatives in the area of
ICT have been undertaken by the government, non-governmental and
private sectors to take ICT to agrarian community. In spite of
number of projects oriented towards the transfer of technologies
through ICTs, still the acceptability and utilization of ICTs is
very low in the rural areas. This created the need of investigating
knowledge, benefits, level of satisfaction and constraints in
utilization of ICT-Village Information Centres by dairy farmers.An
attempt was caried out to evaluate the effectiveness of these
initiatives pertianing to transfer of technology for dairy
development. The study revealed the extent to which the rural
people and farmers are actively involved in harnessing ICT enabled
VICs and will focus on the factors affecting the use of ICT enabled
VICs.The content of this book will be helpful to policy makers,
Government and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), development
professionals and other agencies, who are working for the rural
development through the use of ICTs. This study may serve as a
guide for further researchers who may examine impact of Village
Information Centers in similar context
Importance of gender factor in livestock production has been
recognized by government and development agencies worldwide
including India. Women make substantial contribution in livestock
production in India. Out of 22.45 million people engaged in animal
husbandry, 16.84 million are women. Increased feminization of
agriculture is likely to put greater role and responsibility on
rural womenfolk to meet production demands due to rising
consumption of livestock products. However, information level of
women in animal husbandry remains low as their access to
information sources, mass media, visits to credit, veterinary and
input related institutions remain limited. Significant differences
in information level of women and men livestock owners have been
observed even though the participation of women in livestock
training programmes is on the rise. Hence, suitable efforts are
needed in modification of mode of training, content and training
methodologies owing to differential training requirements of women
farmers. The study is outcome of extensive literature review
covering research thesis, scholarly articles and research reports
including the author's own work for Master's dissertation.
