Get 75% subsidy on the purchase of Murrah buffalo

15/06/2022Posted on

Many schemes are being run by the government to encourage farming and animal husbandry in the country. Animal husbandry is considered the second better source of income in rural areas after agriculture. Apart from obtaining milk through animal husbandry, farmers can use their faeces to make natural manure.

However, not all farmers are able to buy cattle due to financial constraints. In such a situation, the Madhya Pradesh government is providing 50% subsidy on the purchase of Murrah buffalo to the farmers of the state, so that every section of the farmer can raise his means of income through animal husbandry.

According to this scheme, the state government is getting Murrah buffaloes from the neighbouring state of Haryana, which will be sold to the cattle owners with a discount of 50%. Apart from this, up to 75% relaxation will be given to the cattle farmers of the ST and SC categories. Under this scheme, a parent can buy a maximum of two buffaloes, one pregnant and the other with a child. However, there is also a condition that after buying the buffalo, it will be mandatory to keep them with you for at least five years.

Murrah buffalo is considered to be the best breed in milk production. Murrah buffalo gives 12 to 15 liters of milk in a day. Especially this breed is found in Punjab and Haryana. In Haryana, it is even called ‘black gold’. The cost of a Murrah buffalo is about one lakh rupees, which the Madhya Pradesh government is providing to the people of its state at less than half the price.

Buy Murrah buffalo on 50% subsidy, know many benefits related to the scheme

25/05/2022Posted on

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.
