Dairy farming is negligible in North Eastern States when compared with other parts of the country, said Dr Jitendra Chauhan, scientific adviser to Union Minister of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare, Govt of India.
He said that although NE people account for only 8 pc of the country's population, meat consumption rate was high in the region.
Dr Jitendra was addressing the inaugural session of a capacity building training programme on management practices and cultivation of green fodder to enhance dairy farming organised by Directorate of Extension Education, CAU at the conference hall of CAU today as the guest of honour.

Dr Chauhan said that Manipur has the natural endowments for dairy farming and this will help boost the economy of the State if the potential is well explored.
Stressing the importance of green fodders, which is an integral part of dairy ration, he said that milk production cannot be enhanced by progressive dairy farmers in situation where green fodders cannot be provided.
Saying that the potential of the State lie unexplored due to lack of technical know-how by the progressive farmers, Dr Chauhan said that CAU has great roles to play in spreading awareness and technical farming methods to the farmers from time to time.
He also stressed the need to promote dairy farming among potential farmers to boost their income.
The programme was attended by L Baite, Additional Principal Chief Conservator of Forest, Manipur and Dr M Premjit Singh, Director of Extension Education, CAU as the chief guest and president respectively.
Dr JM Laishram, Dean, College of Agriculture also attended the programme as the guest of honour.
Farmers from different parts of the State attended the programme.
