TCL's Guide to Reducing Mortality in Goats through Volunteer Networks & Ethnovet Practices
About the Solution
This solution by Trust Community Livelihoods (TCL) strives to tackle problems related to preventive diseases, over-dependence on antibiotics which have long-term consequences, anti-microbial resistance, and improper prescription of drugs which all contribute to an increase in the mortality of goats. TCL with this solution aims at reducing mortality by 5% which consequently increases income from goats, reduction in the use of antibiotics, rearing goats with better muscle mass, and creating a group of livestock micro-entrepreneurs.
Trust Community Livelihoods (TCL) is a non-profit organization registered in 2011, working to improve the lives of the rural poor in Eastern Uttar Pradesh. Its core mission encompasses promoting community-based livelihoods, ensuring quality primary education, and supporting migrant entitlements across Bahraich and Shrawasti districts. In its second decade, TCL has strategically adopted Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) and integrated livestock, particularly goats for ultra-poor households, to build resilience against climate change and provide symbiotic, diversified income sources alongside traditional farming.
