Telangana Govt plans measures to prevent fodder shortage for livestock amid El Nino

Hyderabad, Oct 13 (UNI) The Telangana government has drawn up a special action plan to prevent fodder and drinking water shortages for livestock amid reduced rainfall due to the El Nino effect, targeting fodder availability within 45 days.
The decision was taken at a high-level meeting chaired by Panchayat Raj and Rural Development Special Chief Secretary Dana Kishore at the State Secretariat on Tuesday.
Under the plan, fodder will be cultivated on five to ten acres of Shikham (tank-bed) lands at water bodies where water is available. The Irrigation and Command Area Development Department will identify suitable sites, while cultivation costs will be met through the Employment Guarantee Scheme.
The Animal Husbandry Department will supply seeds of the high-yielding CSH 24-MF fodder variety free of cost. Self-Help Groups will oversee cultivation, crop protection and water management.
Officials were also directed to install drinking water troughs for livestock and expedite the works through inter-departmental coordination and field-level monitoring to ensure timely availability of fodder and water, according to an official statement.
