Animal Husbandry Department - Govt. of Andhra Pradesh jobs - Chief Executive Officer

Since time immemorial Human Prosperity is linked with the livestock wealth.  It has been rightly said by late U.N.Dhebar that “To think of Rural Development without Livestock Improvement is to think of Modern Industrialization without Power Stations”. Andhra Pradesh has some of the richest livestock resources in the Country and is one of the most advanced States in Animal Husbandry activities.  The Livestock play a vital role in Socio-economic and cultural life of our people. During the year 1892, Civil Veterinary Department was established in the composite Madras State to provide Veterinary Aid to the needy farmers.  Subsequently after Independence, C.V.D was renamed as Animal Husbandry Department (1948),with the main objective of treatment and prevention of diseases in livestock.  Initially the emphasis was on health care only, but subsequently several schemes have been taken up for overall growth of livestock sector.
