The Government of Jammu and Kashmir on June 25, 2024, issued the Measures to minimize the effects of heat wave on livestock/Poultry.
The following has been stated:
• To ensure availability of water, feed & fodder and proper animal shelter across your organization/ District.
• To make arrangement of installing cool roof in animal shelters, if any, which are designed to reflect more sunlight than a conventional roof absorbing less solar energy. Alternately, dairy farmers may be advised to cover the tin roof of the shed with locally available insulating material.
• To keep the fire protection mechanism in place and ready for any emergency in Dairy Plants/Poultry Farms like provision of sand/water buckets. Fire extinguishers. etc.
• Conduct fertility camps in the districts severely affected by heatwaves in order to overcome reproductive inefficiency in the animals so that the calving is not delayed.
The Action taken report on the above measures may be sent on fortnightly basis by email to [email protected].
