Investment funds by the government are helping Indian livestock companies grow rapidly. Speaking at CLFMA’s 64th AGM in Delhi, Tarun Shridhar, former Secretary of the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying, said schemes like the Animal Husbandry Infrastructure Development Fund will help the industry scale up. “In the last 4-5 years, this shift in focus has helped infuse capital,” he added, saying the industry needs to secure confidence in consumption. “We need to act against smear campaigns from alternative protein and environmental lobbies which dissuade meat consumption on welfare and environmental concerns.”
