Livestock sector is indispensable for food security and well-being of the society. A number of disciplines of Veterinary and Animal Sciences are involved in the task of sustainable development of livestock health, production, food safety and public health. There has been rapid progress in intellectual understanding and accomplishments but the real goals can be achieved only by putting the knowledge into practice at a faster pace to catch up with the changing scenario of global food market, transborder animal infections, zoonotic diseases, public health threats and biological disasters. Based on the gap analysis, this book provides blueprints and action plans envisaged by the top academicians, scientists, administrators and planners for future developments in veterinary and livestock sector.
