Livestock sector is an integral part of an agrarian
society in order to provide nutrition as well as manure and drought
power for agricultural activities. During old time people were
keeping large number of sheep, goats, cows, ox and poultry in order
to supplement food requirements and use in agricultural activities.
But due to modernization the number of livestock holding has
drastically reduced.
This was a common practice that people during summers
moved to high pastures where they prepared butter and many other
products that was also a source of income from them. Now majority of
people purchase milk, meat and other dairy products from markets by
spending reasonable amount.
