Abstract:

The first animal to be domesticated before 6000 B.C. was sheep and goats followed by cattle (Bos) in lowlands of Mesopotamia gradually diverse animals would have come under human control in other regions also. In Indian sub-continent, there is evidence from Mohenjo Daro/Harappa indicating the domestication of sheep, cattle, buffaloes (Cleson, 1977). India also has great diversity in domestic livestock and poultry genetic resources. There are 30 breeds of cattle, 10 breeds of river buffaloes, 43 of sheep, 20 of goats, 8 of camel, 7 of horses and 18 of indigenous poultry and a few of pigs, yaks and other livestock in the socioeconomic development of millions of rural households. India has more than 50% worlds buffalo and 20% of its cattle. The Indian dairy sector contributes a large share of the agriculture gross domestic product (GDP). Although share of agriculture to GDP as declined during last decades, the contribution of the livestock sector has increased from less than 5% in early 1980‟s to over 6% in the late 1990s. During 1950s and 1960s. India was one of the largest importers of dairy products importing over 40% of milk solids in the total throughput of the dairy industry.
