This state government program’s goal is to preserve animals’ lives by giving them the food they need in times of need. To ensure that animal husbandry remains unaffected, this activity is sometimes carried out in all of Bihar’s districts with the assistance of the district government.
Both small and large animals are fed this much food
This program distributes feed worth Rs 70 per day for large animals and Rs 35 per day for small animals in accordance with the guidelines for support. Large animals typically get 6 kg of feed per day, small animals 3 kg, and sheep and goats 1 kilogram. Once, for three days or a week, this feed is given out in animal camps or makeshift camps.
