Dairy farming is vulnerable to seasonal variable factors such as temperature, cold climatic conditions, and rainfall. These affect the production and reproduction traits of dairy animals. Seasonal variability also affects the quantity of consumption and marketing of milk considerably. The study aimed to assess the seasonal fluctuation in milk production in Sivagangai District Cooperative Milk Producer Union Limited (SDCMPUL), Tamil Nadu. The study used secondary data. The milk production data were collected from SDCMPUL, Karaikudi, Tamil Nadu. The data covered the period from 2001-02 to 2020-21. The study used descriptive statistics, CAGR, and paired ‘t-test to determine the variation of milk production according to seasonal changes. The MS office - Excel software and SPSS software were used to analyse the data. The results revealed that the mean milk production of the lean and flush season was 2.46 and 2.30 lakh liters, and the CAGR of milk production in SDCMPUL, Tamil Nadu, during the period 2001-02 to 2020-21 was 5.65 percent, and it was 5.23 percent in lean season and 6.11 percent in the flush season while the growth rate of milk production during the lean and flush season was positive and was significant statistically. It was found that the quantity of milk production was higher in the lean season than a flush season; however, the variability of milk production was more in the flush season than in the lean season.

The present study attempts to examine the scenario of buffalo production in Bangladesh. The buffalo plays a very important role in the South Asian region which constitutes 77.5% of world buffalo population. This region has a great biodiversity in buffalo germplasm, including the world famous source promising buffaloes Murrah and Nili-Ravi - renowned for high milk production potential. It is estimated that about 96.05 % of Asia and 93.19 % of world buffalo milk are produced in South Asian countries. Besides, buffalo milk in South Asian countries is around 54.95 % of the total milk production. The India and Pakistan share 67.99% and 23.96%, of world buffalo milk production respectively. About 71.4% of world buffalo meat is produced in South Asian countries. Although buffalo is an integral part of livestock production system in South Asian countries, it has never been addressed in Bangladesh and always neglected despite their important role in the national economy. In Bangladesh, the total buffalo population are 1.464 million heads that are managed in household subsistence farming as well as extensive free range (Bathan) farming in saline coastal region that are used as a draught animal and partially for milk and meat production. The contribution of buffalo in total milk and meat production in Bangladesh is only 2.0% and 0.94%, respectively. This review has tried to unearth the present scenario of buffalo production in Bangladesh, describing the benefits and values of buffalo milk and meat, advantages of buffalo husbandry over cattle, constraints in buffalo production and recommendations for buffalo development in Bangladesh.SAARC J.

ANALISIS FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG MEMPENGARUHI PRODUKSI SUSU KAMBING PERAH PERANAKAN ETAWA (PE) DI DESA LIMPOK KECAMATAN DARUSSALAM KABUPATEN ACEH BESAR (STUDI KASUS DI UD. ATJEH LIVESTOCK FARM) OLEH Rini Afrida / Agribisnis Universitas Syiah Kuala  ABSTRAK Susu kambing perah merupakan komoditas yang cukup penting di Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk  Menganalisis pengaruh jumlah pemberian pakan hijauan dan  ampas tahu terhadap  produksi susu kambing perah di UD. Atjeh Livestock Farm yang berada  di Desa Limpok Kecamatan Darussalam Kabupaten Aceh Besar. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode studi kasus dengan objek penelitian seluruh kambing perah peranakan etawa (PE) yang memproduksi susu di UD. Atjeh Livestock Farm. Metode analisis yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Model Cobb Douglas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa variabel jumlah pakan hijauan dan ampas tahu mempunyai pengaruh nyata baik secara  serempak  maupun parsial terhadap produksi   susu, dimana diperoleh nilai dari uji serempak untuk   Fhit = 138.415 sedangkan untuk Ftabel = 3.98, karena nilai Fhit = 138.415   Ftabel = 3.98, maka kesimpulan yang dapat diambil adalah menolak H0. Artinya variabel hijauan  dan ampas tahu secara bersama – sama mempunyai pengaruh nyata terhadap produksi susu kambing perah, sedangkan dari uji parsial diperoleh nilai variabel hijauan untuk thitung = 4,016 sedangkan ttabelnya = 2,17881, karena nilai thitung= 4,016   ttabel = 2,17881, maka kesimpulan yang dapat diambil adalah menolak H0. Begitu juga untuk  variabel ampas tahu  diperoleh nilai untuk thitung =  2,255 sedangkan ttabelnya = 2,17881, karena nilai thitung = 2,255   ttabel = 2,17881, maka kesimpulan yang dapat diambil adalah menolak H0. Artinya  variabel hijauan maupun ampas tahu mempunyai pengaruh nyata terhadap produksi susu kambing perah.ANALYSIS OF THE FACTORS AFFECTING THE PRODUCTION OF GOAT MILK DAIRY CROSSBREED ETAWA (PE) IN THE LIMPOK VILLAGE SUB-DISTRICTS OF DARUSSALAM ACEH BESAR REGENCY(A Case Study in UD. Atjeh Livestock Farm)ABSTRACT Dairy goat milk is a commodity that is quite important in Indonesia. This study aimed to analyze the influence of the number of feeding forage and pulp out of the milk production of dairy goats in UD. Atjeh Livestock Farm that are in the Limpok village sub-district of Darussalam Aceh Besar regency. The method used is the case study method with the object of study throughout the dairy goat hybrid etawa (PE), which produces milk in UD. Atjeh Livestock Farm. The analytical method used in this study is a model Cobb Douglas. The results showed that the variable amount of green feed and tofu has a real influence both simultaneously and partially to the production of milk, which gained the value of simultaneous test for Fcount = 138.415 whereas for Ftable = 3.98, because the value Fcount = 138.415   Ftable = 3.98, the conclusions that can be drawn is to reject H 0. This means that the variable forages and pulp out together have a significant effect on the milk production of dairy goats, whereas the values obtained from the partial test variable forage for tcount = 4,016 whereas ttable = 2,17881, because the value of tcount= 4,016   ttable = 2,17881, the conclusions that can be drawn is to reject H 0. Likewise for variable pulp out obtained value for tcount =  2,255 whereas ttable  = 2,17881, because the value of tcount = 2,255   ttable = 2,17881, the conclusions that can be drawn is to reject H 0. This means that the variable forage or pulp out has a significant effect on the milk production of dairy goats.

Case Study Methods

The major objective of the study was to explore the rural entrepreneurial initiatives and its socio- economic impact among the sugarcane farmers across Tamil Nadu. Exploratory surveys, Focused Group Discussions (FDGs) and case study methods have been adopted. A total of seven successful entrepreneurial activities initiated by cane farmers, across different districts of Tamil Nadu were selected, purposively. The study revealed that entrepreneurial initiatives accomplished the needs of farmers and these either were developed by farmers themselves or with collaboration of sugar factories. Among seven entrepreneurial initiatives; ‘two wheeler sprayer’, ‘tractor mounted sprayer’, ‘trichogramma production’ and ‘Agricultural Service Provider (ASP)’ were initiated by the sugar factories under the Entrepreneurship Development Programme (EDP) in participatory mode. The other initiatives viz., organic jaggery powder and trash based vermi-compost production were initiated by farmers themselves. Budchip settling production was practiced by individual farmers as well as promoted by factories in participatory mode. It is also found that all seven entrepreneurial initiatives are profitable and sustainable. Further, the study found that the production cost for 1 cc trichogramma is Rs. 16 and selling cost is Rs. 23/cc, thus farmer getting a net profit of Rs. 7/cc of Trico card. In case of budchip settling production, total cost incurred for production of one settling is around 60-85 paisa. Selling cost of one-month old settling is Rs. 1.25. Thus, a farmer gains a net profit of 40 paisa per settling.
