LIVELIHOOD SUB PROJECT ON BACKYARD POULTRY IN DHARA MSALA DIVISION OF MID-HIMALAYAN WATERSHED DEVELOPMENT PRO JECT, HIMACHAL PRADESH.

Himachal Pradesh (HP) is a mountainous state situated in Western Himalayas and

known for its natural beauty and rich cultural and religious heritage. The state has diverse

ecosystems, rivers and valleys ,and has a population of 6 million and cover 55,673 sq.km

ranging from foothills of Shivaliks to the midhills (800-1600 mts above MSL), high hills and

cold dry zones of the upper Himalayas. Despite the growing importance of tourism etc. the

economy of the state is chiefly agrarian as

nine out of ten households are rural and

80% of the people are involved in

agriculture and contribute 22 % of the

GDP as compared to 13 % from secondary

and 65% from the tertiary sector.

The cultivated area accounts for 6.2

lakh hectares and 80 % of this area is

rainfed, with very poor productivity. Moreover there is a little scope to further improve the

same due to scarcity of water. The scenario in case of animals (5.2 million) is not different as

most of the animals are poor in production or are not productive at all. The improvement is

less in the present scenario when the state is already running shortage of approximately 54.2

% and 38.2 % green and dry forage respectively. Due to low per capita income of the farmers

their nutrition status is also low and most of them are malnutritious. As milk contribute very

little in their dietary schedule. So we have to look for some other alternate for the poorest

segment of the people (vulnerable groups) that may add to his income as well as to his

nutrition. So that he may have better health and economy by additional livelihood activity.


BACKGROUND

Though poultry development in the country has taken a quantum leap in the last three

decades, the growth has been mainly restricted to commercial poultry. Rural backyard

poultry, though still contributing nearly 30% to the national egg production, is the most

neglected one. It is well known fact that a fairly significant proportion of the landless and

marginal farmers eke out their living from poultry and other small ruminants. Backyard

poultry requiring hardly any infrastructure set-up is a potent tool for upliftment of the poorest

of the poor(vulnerable groups). Besides income generation, Rural backyard poultry provides

nutrition supplementation in the form of valuable animal protein and empowers women. It

has also been noticed that the demand for rural backyard poultry is quite high in tribal areas.

Thus there is a need to take up specific rural poultry production programs, to meet the

requirements of the rural consumers while constituting a source of subsistence income as a

subsidiary occupation by taking up colored bird ‘KROILER’ units ranging from 20 to 50

birds per family in their backyards. Such units require very little hand feeding and can give a

fairly handsome return with bare minimum night shelter. Hens feed on grains, seeds, insets

and grass, which are available in plenty around the house. They don’t need a very specialized

house and can be kept even under a bamboo basket. There was 7.64 lakh birds in Himachal

Pradesh with production of 75.26 milllion eggs in 2005-06. It is projected that 1/3rd of the

families in a village if adopt this activity, the whole village will over come mal-nutrition.

VISION

Thus enriching small farmer and landless labour families through a more holistic and self-

reliant approach not only in terms of improvement of income , employment and nutritional

status but also in terms of fostering community development, gender empowerment and

protection of environment, is envisaged on the larger canvass of ‘rural development’ using

back yard poultry .


BACKYARD POULTRY IN MHWDP

One of the major objectives of the Mid Himalayan Watershed Development Project is to

improve the income of the rural households in the project area. So in order to achieve this

objective along with other watershed

improvement activities one component of

“Enhancing Mountain Livelihood” is

added in the project activities. This

component is aimed at improving production

and promoting value addition, marketing and

establishing linkage between farmer and the

buyer. This component also reaches out to

the vulnerable group and back yard poultry

is one of the options for such groups. The birds don’t need very special attention. The family

can get eggs and meat without any extra expenditure and members will not suffer from mal-

nutrition. Surplus eggs and meat can be sold in the market to get extra income for the family.

BACKYARD POULTRY IN DHARAMSHALA DIVISION

Poultry in villages is a widespread and well-established activity. Chickens are relatively

cheap to buy, require very little by way of inputs and fulfil a wide range of functions from

providing meat and eggs, food for special festivals, offerings for traditional ceremonies and

petty cash for the household. The limiting factor for this activity is that traditionally village

poultry is based on non-descript varieties of poultry stock. In a conscious effort to upgrade

village/rural poultry, Kegg farms, a Company specializing in breeding of village specific

back yard poultry have developed a variety of multicoloured chicken named “Kuroiler ”.

This variety represents a stock that is scientifically developed and has all the attributes of the

village chicken in terms of colour, hardiness and ability to thrive in scavenging conditions

without any major change in traditional husbandry practices. At the same time, it has the

advantage of high yields and egg production capacity. Kuroiler males attain 1 kg. body

weight in about 60 days compared to 1 kg. body weight in 240 days by the non-descript

village chicken. Egg laying capacity is 180 to 200 eggs compared to the 40 eggs produced by

traditional village chicken in a one year laying period.


This project aims to upgrade village poultry to a definable economic activity, maximise

economic gain and nutritional security, without much change in traditional husbandry

practices. This is possible with the introduction of 'village specific' poultry the 'Kuroiler' with

four times the productivity than that of the existing village chicken, in a resource poor

scavenging environment.
