The prospect of animal productivity and its share to food security and national GDP, although is on an
upward swing in recent years, the impending problems that have been identified and needs urgent attention
includes safeguarding the environment and ensuring acceptable level of animal productivity in the prevailing
scenario of land and water scarcity, and ensuing climate change. Besides there are important issues involving
the propagation of animal production systems suitable for small holders as mode of livelihood security? In the
hindsight, the responsibilities bestow up on us to answer the questions like (i) how can livestock keepers take
advantage of the increasing demand for livestock products, where this is feasible, and (ii)how can the livestock
assets of the poor be protected in the face of changing and increasingly variable climates? Nevertheless, given
the complexity of livestock and crop-livestock systems, a mix of technological, policy and institutional
innovations will inevitably be required.
In this backdrop, the workshop on “Climate Resilient Shelter and Stress Management in Small
Ruminants in Hot Arid and Semi-Arid Regions of India” on 02-05-2013 at Central Sheep and Wool Research
Institute, Avikanagar, one of the partner (Sponsored Research Grant) in NICRA provided the impetus to come
out with this compilation in the form of a book entitled, “Climate Resilient Small Ruminant Production” for
the reach of elite and concerned readers. It assumes colossal significance in a way that it provides an
opportunity to make an objective appraisal and eventual strategies to make it more resilient in the presentday scenario. Additionally, it would also throw open windows to brain-storm, and to discover tangible
solution to tribulations already-identified as well as any unforeseeable ones.
The authors are thankful to all the contributors who have come forward to share their findings,
knowledge and ideologies through this publication for the benefit of livestock production in general and small
ruminant productivity in particular. We take this opportunity to thank National Coordinator, NICRA, Director,
CSWRI and ICAR, New Delhi in providing all support for bringing out this publication for researchers and
academicians working in this field. While every care was taken to publish the information in totality, there
might have been some omission or commission while editing the manuscripts; we take that responsibility
solely on us and promise to improve upon it in future publication to match the set requirements.
