The Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry & Dairying (MoFAH&D) on March 15, 2024, notified regarding the Livestock Sector to have Digital Footprints.
The following has been stated:
• It has launched the Pashupalak App.
• It will empower the farmers to be able to access all free and paid livestock-related schemes/services. For instance, every time a cow is given an FMD vaccination under the National Animal Disease Eradication Programme, the vaccinator uploads the information on the stack, and she can see it from her app too, the farmer can even mark the animal for sale so that other buyers can see it and negotiate with the farmer.
• The farmer also has other important information at her fingertips like contact details of all nearby Al technicians, availability of good quality semen straws to IVF services, educational videos on ethno veterinary medicines, safe milking etc., rational balancing calculator and social community features, thus, eliminating the information asymmetry that has plagued the livestock farmers.
