​
Livestock sector is emerging as one of the potential and income-generating source to the rural community and providing full time employment in rural as well as semi-urban areas. Livestock wealth is the backbone of the rural economy. Agriculture farming taken up in smaller land holdings is becoming unproductive in recent years, due to lack of assured market/ fluctuation of prices for produce and other adverse seasonal conditions. Thus, the farmers are shifting from agriculture to Livestock farming.  Availability of technology and inputs are also contributing to the shift.

The State stands 10th in Livestock population, 1st in sheep population, 12th in Goat population, 5th in Poultry, 13th in Bovine population and 17th in pig population, in the country as per the Livestock Census, 2007.  With an annual output of 942 crore eggs, the Telangana stands 3rd in egg production in the country.  Every eighth egg in the country comes from Telangana. With annual meat production of 4.29 lakh MTs Telangana stands 6th in the country in meat production.
