About the Livestock Census

The Livestock Census has been conducted in the country periodically since 1919-20. The Livestock Census covers all domesticated animals and its headcounts. So far 19 such censuses have been conducted in participation with State Governments and UT Administrations.
The 20th Livestock Census was conducted in participation with all States and Union Territories.
The enumeration was done both in rural and urban areas.
The major thrust given to the 20th Livestock Census is the collection of data through tablets computers.
The 20th livestock census is indeed a unique attempt as for the first time such a major initiative has been taken to digitise household level data through online transmission from the field.
