A STUDY ON MIGRATION PATTERN OF SHEEP FLOCKS IN TELANGANA Table 3. Problems faced during sheep flock’s migration as perceived by sheep farmers in Telangana region 50
RAJANNA et al the present findings corroborated with Pattanayak et al. (2003), Sushilkumar et al. (2003), Arora et al. (2007) and Gopaldass (2007). As far as duration and distance covered Rajapandi, (2005) reported Coimbatore sheep migrated a distance of 100 to 200 km and Kumaravelu (2007) had described the duration (days) ranged from 91 to 315 days in southern zone of Tamil Nadu state. Reason for migration Majority (90.80%) of sheep farmers perceived lack of grazing resources followed by periodical drought (80.90%), traditional occupation (77.78), fields filled with crops (74.65%), disease problem (64.06%), lack of feeding resources (61.81%), lack of water resources (30.73%) and heavy rains (23.44%) as a basis of migration and ranked them from I to VIII, respectively (Table 2) . Farmers should be encouraged to take up Silvi Pasture system, controlled grazing and culling of unproductive animal as a remedial measure for the above problems. These results are in conformity with findings of Dorji et. al. (2003) and Saravanakumar et al. (2003) who reported shortage of water and grazing land and feeding resources, tradition, successive drought, and disease outbreaks were the reasons of migration. Problems faced during migration Problems faced by sheep farmers were ranked in the order of attack of diseases (87.85%), lack of shelter for animals (81.60%), theft (74.13%), restriction of entry into other villages (71.18%), lack of veterinary facilities (67.88%) predators (23.26%) and abortions due to stress (13.72%) from I to VII, respectively. During migration, the shepherds along with sheep flocks spent most of the time in forests, river belts and remote villages where the veterinary facilities were not available in time and up to the mark, leading to disease outbreaks. The sheep farmers allowed animals for penning during night times. Hence the sheep could not receive any protection from adverse weather leading to disease susceptibility. Lack of care during lambing and for new born lambs during migration has lead to lamb mortality because the lambs also move continuously without any protection from heat resulting in heat stress. These findings were corroborated with the Kuldeepporwal et al. (2006) and Suresh et al. (2008). REFERENCES Arora, A. L., Prince, L. L. L and Mishra, A. K. 2007.
