R&D IN INDIAN AGRICULTURE: STATUS, SCOPE AND FUTURE ROAD MAP Prof. Anil Kumar Srivastava Director National Dairy Research Institute Karnal-132001 (India) Workshop on “India-ICSTI Cooperation in Science and Innovation; February 28, 2013
R&D in Indian Agriculture • India has one of the largest and well coordinated public agricultural research systems in the world. • Agricultural R&D is almost completely funded by the federal and states governments • Private investment in agricultural R&D has increased fivefold since the mid-1990s. Workshop on “India-ICSTI Cooperation in Science and Innovation; February 28, 2013
Private Sector in Agriculture R&D • Seed industry for field crops, fruits, and vegetables; • Pesticide industry; • Farm machinery industry • Poultry Husbandry Workshop on “India-ICSTI Cooperation in Science and Innovation; February 28, 2013
Indian Agriculture as Today • > 17% of the world’s human & 12% livestock population • 4.2% of the global water • 2.4% of the world’s land • 142 m ha cultivated & 60 m ha net irrigated • 137% cropping intensity • 52% of population earns livelihood in agriculture • 16.6% contribution in GDP • 10.23% earning of total exports (Rs. 86,000 crores) Workshop on “India-ICSTI Cooperation in Science and Innovation; February 28, 2013

Growth Rate in Milk Production Workshop on “India-ICSTI Cooperation in Science and Innovation; February 28, 2013
Dairying Wealth of India About 70% of milk is produced by marginal and small farmers having 2-4 animals The productivity of Indian milch animal is 1012 kg/ year (world average is 2200 kg/ year) India • Highest milk producer with 130 million tones • Nearly 3.5 – 4 times higher than world average growth rate, despite minimal investment World • Production of milk stands at 720 million tones. Asia produces 256 million tones • Growth rate is only 1.1% Workshop on “India-ICSTI Cooperation in Science and Innovation; February 28, 2013

Rise in Milk Production, if we make “uncalved” to “Calved” status… Additional 12.39 MT (total milk production would be 142.39 MT) Workshop on “India-ICSTI Cooperation in Science and Innovation; February 28, 2013
Cattle Calving to conception = 85 d Vs 136 d Calving Calving Cyclicity Conception Gestation Calving interval = 365 d Vs 414 d Calving Interval: Desired vs Existing Calving to conception 85 d Vs 169 d Calving Cyclicity Conception Gestation Calving interval = 425 d Vs 479 d Buffaloes Calving Workshop on “India-ICSTI Cooperation in Science and Innovation; February 28, 2013
Missing of Heat: Economic Losses • Each missed heat is a missed opportunity. It delays calving by at least 21 days and implies a loss of at least 21 days of milk. • Assuming a production average of only 5 liters per day, it translates into 105 litres or Rs. 3150. Added to this is the cost of maintenance for 21 days@ 65 /- (Rs 1365). • Hence each missed heat leads to a loss of Rs. 4515/- for the farmer.
