Abstract
The study has revealed macro-level priorities for livestock research and development for the state of Bihar. Considering equity as the single most important criterion for resource allocation, the North-West Alluvial Plains should receive highest priority in resource allocation, followed by the South-West Alluvial Plains, the North-East Alluvial Plains and the South-East Alluvial Plains. However, sustainability is the core of any development programme. After incorporation of sustainability considerations, the North-West Alluvial Plains (Zone-I) maintained its prime position for share in resources, followed by the South-West Alluvial Plains (Zone-IIIB). The distribution of species-specific allocations across regions has revealed that the higher proportion of total resources (more than two-thirds) should be allocated to South-West Alluvial Plains and North-West Alluvial Plains for cattle development. Again, North-West Alluvial Plains should be targeted for buffalo development, followed by the South-West Alluvial Plains. Sheep development efforts should concentrate in the South-West Alluvial Plains, goat development in North-West Alluvial Plains and North-East Alluvial Plains and piggery development in Gaya, Nawada, Jamui, Jahanabad and Katihar districts of south Bihar. North-West Alluvial Plains should get priority for poultry development in Bihar.
