Author(s):

Abstract:
India is one of the most disaster-prone nations. The primary cause of natural disasters like avalanches, earthquakes, floods, cyclones, famines and tsunamis. Natural disasters have caused severe shortages of food, feed, fodder and beverages which have a negative impact on the health and nourishment of people and animals and can reduce their ability to produce and reproduce. The main goal during a natural disaster should be to prevent many animals from going hungry. Feeding restrictions should be chosen. Restricted feeding results in weight loss and decreased milk production in lactating animals, but it also guarantees the animals survival. Restricted feeding, stored feeds in portable silage bags, feed produced in inexpensive hydroponic systems, unusual feed sources like thornless cactus propagation and multinutrient blocks made of urea and molasses are a few of the strategies used to prevent livestock morbidity and mortality in situations of emergency.
