The Government also implements a new central sector scheme namely, National Animal Disease Control Programme (NADCP) for Foot & Mouth Disease (FMD) and Brucellosis with  a  total  outlay  of  Rs.  13,343  Crore  for  five  years,i.e.from  2019-20  to  2023-24.The objective  of  the  scheme  is  (i)  to  achieve  control  of  FMD  by  2025  with  vaccination  of cattle, buffalo, sheep, goat and pig and eventual eradication of this disease by 2030 and (ii) to control Brucellosis. Under NADCP 100% vaccination of all cattle, buffaloes, sheep, goats and pigs in the country biannually against FMD and 100% vaccination coverage of female  cattle  and  buffalo  calves  (4-8  months  of  age)  once  in  a  life  time  against Brucellosis is targeted.

However, the facilities under Kisan Credit Card has been extended to animal husbandry farmers for their working capital requirements by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NBARD) during 2019-20.
