Demand for Veterinary Products in Assam | Cattle, Fish, Poultry, Livestock Industry in Assam
The cattle industry is the backbone of the local population in Assam. Lakhimi is dual purpose breed of cattle found in the entire state of Assam. The other major cattle breeds in Assam are Sahiwal, Holstein Friesian, Hariana, Jersey, and Gir.  It is important to note that more than 80% of cattle are owned by farmers. The average milk production per day is considerably less than the national average because of multiple factors and one of them is inadequate feed and fodder. Because of being one of the high-quality protein sources and income, poultry farming in Assam is on boom currently resulting in an increase in both backyard and commercial poultry farming. Broilers, ducks, layers, and backyard poultry are the major types of poultry reared in Assam. With cattle, poultry, and fish industries thriving in Assam, livestock farming is no different! It includes sheep, goats, and pigs. These animals play an important role in meat production and the socio-economic development of the rural population of Assam. Apart from other important schemes which are being implemented by the government, Fodder Development, specifically focuses on increasing the availability and quality of fodder for the livestock. The healthier the food, the better the benefits yield from the livestock!
As per the 20th Livestock Census of Assam conducted in 2019 ¾
| Sr No. | Animal | Population | Remarks |
| 1 | Cattle Population | 110 lakhs | 60% of the total livestock population in Assam |
| 2 | Poultry Population | 385 lakhs | 17% of the total livestock population in Assam |
| 3 | Livestock Population | 72 lakhs | 30% of the total livestock population in Assam |

Catfish, murals, ornamental fish, and carp are the major species of fish that are being cultivated in Assam. Thus, the fishery sector is also an important part of the growth of Assam’s economy along with the cattle industries and poultry industries.

The average fish yield per hectare per year in Assam is 1.08 tonnes, which is lower than the National Average fish yield.
