Livestock Management at different levels of Disaster Strategy and Execution

Livestock population is the first to be affected in the precarious situations due to natural disasters viz, flood, drought, cyclone, volcanic eruption, earthquake, Tsunami etc. At that time large scale transportation of feed and fodder becomes more difficult to the affected areas transported food for human feeding is tried to be maintained. Because in that period, main target of rescue, relief and rehabilitation is restricted for the people of affected area. Little or meager help is extended towards the livestock population. Most of the government and non-government organizations generally remain busy for the welfare of human beings. As a matter of fact, due to this negligence, a very difficult situation gradually arises which makes it incapable of controlling the losses due to massive spread of epidemic diseases, particularly during the post-disaster period.
