Emphasising on the need for food security of animals, Union Minister of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying, Parshottam Rupala asked entrepreneurs to work on innovations to covert agri-wastages into animal fodder.

Speaking at a conference on Thursday he said there is a need to prepare some programme to ensure food security for animals.

It was an event on the Rs 15,000 crore Animal Husbandry Infrastructure Development Fund (AHIDF).

The aim of the fund is to incentivise investments by individual entrepreneurs, private companies, MSME, Farmers Producers Organisations (FPOs), and section 8 companies to establish dairy and meat processing capacities, animal feed plants, and breed improvement.

Highlighting the significant contribution of the sector, he said the government is making efforts to double farmers’ income and the ministry is aggressively working to provide Kisan Credit Cards (KCCs) to animal husbandry farmers.
