Description In the present study, six species of livestock viz., cattle, buffalo, sheep, goat, pigs and
poultry were selected for detailed analysis, since these constituted nearly 95 per cent of the
livestock population of Karnataka. The necessary data were collected both at district and state
level from various issues of integrated sample survey reports (1995-96 to 2010-11). The
cattle and buffalo population registered growth rate of 0.19 and 0.41 per cent respectively.
The sheep, goat, pig and fowl population registered growth rate of 4.23, 3.28, -0.49 and 6.03
percent per annum (from 1990 to 2007) respectively. Karnataka registered annual growth of
1.6, 2.99 and 2.42 per cent w.r.t to milk, egg and meat production respectively. A higher
growth rate of 9.49 per cent was noticed in the productivity of milch buffalo which was
higher than crossbred cow (2.27%). The productivity of desi and improved bird exhibited
positive growth rate (3.02% and 0.16%). The growth in per capita milk availability was
2.42%. The Markov chain analysis revealed that buffaloes in milk and indigenous milch cows
were having highest stability (65% and 75%). The graded, indigenous (buffalo) and crossbred
(cattle) population, were major factors influencing milk production. Improved and desi hen
population and number of veterinary/poultry institutions were the main factors influencing
egg production. The production of milk and their prices were not moving with their
corresponding nominal and real prices in long run. Whereas, egg and mutton production was
moving with their prices in long-run. Saudi Arabia, USA, Australia were loyal markets with
retention capacity of 57 and 15% respectively. In the case of egg USA and Afghanistan were
loyal markets. Whereas in meat EAR (100%) was found to be loyal market. The milk and egg
become price sensitive, within and between markets there was some extent of market
integration.
