To promote animal husbandry, the Madhya Pradesh government has announced a grant for buying buffaloes. Under this scheme, a 50% subsidy will be given by the state government for purchasing Murrah buffalo. At the same time, due to the shortage of Murrah species in the state, they will be imported from Haryana.
Under this scheme, only small farmers will be provided two Murrah buffaloes at a subsidy of 50%. In which one buffalo will be given to the pregnant and the other with the child so that the order of getting milk is maintained and the source of income of the farmer is not stopped.
Apart from this, if the buffalo dies within three years, then the buffalo will be given free of cost by the government. Not only this, six months’ grain and fodder will also be given for the buffalo’s diet, so that the farmer does not face any kind of problem.
Sex shared semen will be used to impregnate these buffaloes. Which will only happen to Murrah Bull. Its special thing will be that only female buffaloes will be born from it. Let us tell you that a Murrah buffalo gives 12 to 15 liters of milk daily, which is enough for a small dairy.
Through this scheme, the farmer will get two buffaloes worth 2.5 lakhs only for 62 thousand 500. The purpose of this scheme of the state government is to promote milk production along with helping small farmers financially. According to the state government, this project can start from August.
