The Animal Husbandry Statistics
Division of the Department conducts Integrated Sample Surveys to estimate
productions of major livestock products viz. milk, egg, meat and wool. It
also collects other livestock statistics through interaction with State
Governments and other Central departments/ organizations concerned with

eggs, meat & wool are estimated on the basis of sample surveys being
conducted throughout the year under the Central Scheme “Integrated Sample
Survey for the Estimation of major Livestock Products”. All the States
and Union Territories are
implementing the scheme. Surveys are
done throughout India and round the year, whereas data are collected generally
by camping in the sampled villages.
Three stage stratified random sampling is adopted to find the annual
estimates of livestock production of major livestock products after building it
on seasonal basis. These are published in the consolidated annual
report of the sample survey prepared by the States/ UTs.

publication known as "Basic Animal Husbandry Statistics" or through
