            While Briefing about mela Dr. V. K Taneja Vice Chancellor GADVASU said that diversification is the key answer of many agricultural woes. He said that livestock professions are best option of diversification. Dr. Taneja explained that diversification within the livestock professions is also a need of the hour. Not only Dairy farming but Fisheries, Poultry, Piggery and Goat farming are the fine diversification options in livestock. Value addition of Products may diversify these professions in a different mode. We are conducting a number of efforts to explore new avenues in livestock professions. New Krishi Vigyan Kendras of university are extending services of university in a larger sphere in Barnala, Tarntaran & Mohali districts. These KVKs and three Regional Research and training centres (Kaljharani, TarnTaran & Talwara) are working efficiently to provide the solutions to the problems of the livestock farmers also providing trainings in the field of dairy, poultry, piggery and fish farming. Field demonstrations & research trials are also undertaken in these areas.
 
     Dr. S N S Randhawa, Director of Extension Education, GADVASU said that the varsity’s elite animals will be exhibited in the Pashu Palan Mela to motivate farmers to breed superior livestock by getting the improved germplasm from the University. Books on Dairy Farming, Pig Farming, Goat Farming and Package of Practices for Animal Husbandry and other university literature will also be available to the farmers.

Milk and meat processing technologies for value addition will also be discussed. The livestock farmers will be provided free testing facilities for nitrate/nitrite poisoning of fodders, mastitis testing, testing of faecal and food samples. GADVASU has developed various technologies during the year especially value addition of milk, meat, fish into value added & delicious products. These livestock products will be on display in a specially designed and dedicated stall to aware the farmers and public regarding them. Many such technologies related with value addition have been sold to the entrepreneurs for commercial purpose and many more technologies have been developed which will be also on display for their owning and later usage by the farmers seeking to increase their profits/income through marketing them.
 
    Different departments of the College of Veterinary Science, College of Dairy Science & Technology and College of Fisheries will arrange exhibitions to display the new techniques and practices for the benefit of the livestock farmers and will attend to their queries. All the developmental organizations of the state including the Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairy Development and Department of Fisheries; Cooperative organization viz Milkfed and Markfed will put up stalls in the exhibition.
