Background: Dairy farming has been emerging as an important commercial enterprise in India as milk is an essential commodity where majority of the population is vegetarian. Milk production plays an important role in the rural economy with particular focus on landless, marginal and small farmers who constitute core milk production system in the country. Therefore, the current study was aimed to analyse milk production across different herd sizes of buffaloes and crossbred cows in Middle Gujarat.Methods: This study is based on the primary data collected from the dairy farmers during the agricultural year 2018-19 by interviewing the respondents through a pre-tested structured schedule from 240 respondents spread over 24 villages of Anand, Kheda and Panchmahal districts of Middle Gujarat. Conclusion: The present investigation indicated that for increasing farmer’s income and eventually livelihood, rearing of crossbred cows should be encouraged in the study area as they have edge over buffaloes in net returns. Break-even analysis indicated that crossbred cow owners were able to cover their total expenditure at a lower point than the buffalo owners due to the fact that the crossbred owners realized higher milk production as compared to buffalo owners.

The Relationship

Dairy farming contributes about eight percent of National Gross Domestic Product with an annual milk production of 3.43 billion litres in Kenya. It supports the livelihood of approximately four million Kenyans through food provision, income generation and employment. However, milk production per individual animal in Kenya, averaging six to seven (6-7) litres/cow/day, is low compared to the world’s best at 10,133 litres/cow/year (28 litres/cow/day) mainly due to factors including poor feeding. This means that Kenya produces an average of 20 litres of milk less per cow per day compared to the world’s best. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of mineral mix and concentrate feeds on milk revenue of smallholder dairy farmers in Kapseret sub County. The study was conducted between the months of January-March, 2020. Primary data was collected using closed and open ended questionnaires. Spearman’s Rank correlation was used to show the strength of the relationship between the variables. Multiple regression model was employed to assess the effect of supplementation on milk revenue. Results were presented in tables, and descriptive statistics such as percentages and frequencies. The results indicated a positive and statistically significant relationship between the variables (concentrate feeds and mineral mix) and milk revenue at (r=0.41, p=0.001) and (r=0.30, p=0.001), respectively. The relationship between mineral mix and concentrate feeds was positive and statistically significant (r=0.92, p=0.001). Subsequent feeding of homemade or commercial concentrates and mineral mix to dairy animals influenced milk revenue. The study concluded that mineral mix and concentrate feeds increased milk revenue of smallholder dairy farmers in Kapseret sub County. The study recommended the use of mineral mix and commercial concentrates or quality homemade concentrates in order to increase milk produce which affects farmers’ milk revenue.

The survey was carried out in villages of two upazilas under Satkhira district covering 100 members and 50 non-members of field fertility clinics (FFC) during January to March 2009. Evidence showed that socioeconomic characteristics were more or less same in both farms. The study revealed that annual average milk production per farm for two categories of farmers were 7215.87 litres and 5206.52 litres respectively. Annual milk production per farm of member farmers was higher by 1973.21 litres over that of non-member farmers. Net returns per farm were Tk. 175670.30 and Tk. 67611.51 for member and non-member farmers respectively. Benefit cost ratio for community member farmers were 1.80, for non-members were 1.62 and for all categories of farmers were 1.74 indicating that dairy farming was profitable. However, member farmers made more profit than non-member farmers through dairy farming. The study concluded that proper steps could be taken to make the dairy farming as a viable commercial enterprise. Therefore, the FFC should extend more services, which will encourage expansion of dairy farming and thereby, will contribute to increase of milk production in the area and in the country as a whole.

Cost of milk production is an important economic indicator in assessing the farm household efficiency in milk production as well as basis for price fixation. The study was undertaken to analyse the cost and returns of milk production in rural and periurban dairy farms of Kalaburagi district of Karnataka. The per day maintenance cost in periurban dairy farms (` 150.64) was highest compared to rural dairy farms (` 91.29)for local cows, crossbred cows and buffaloes. Among total maintenance costs of periurban dairy farming, feed and fodder costs accounted major share (73.49%) followed by labour cost (15.53%) and total fixed cost (7.73%). The return per litre of milk was highest (` 8.91) for crossbred cows followed by buffalo (` 4.82) and local cows (` 0.14). The net return from crossbred cow was more than that of buffalo and local cows indicating higher profitability in rearing crossbred cow in the study area.

The study was undertaken to find the importance of dairy farming for landless households in rural Punjab. The primary data were collected from the 126 landless households from the two selected districts of Punjab, i.e., Ludhiana and Bathinda, for the year 2017- 18. The study concluded that the majority of the population belonged to the working-age group and more than one-fourth of the population was illiterate. About 59 percent were milch animals out of the total animal, and buffaloes proved to be the most important livestock among the milch animals. The net returns based on per litre of milk production were found to be ? 1.34 for buffalo and ? 0.93 for cow milk production, respectively. In the case of buffalo's and cow's milk production, the variable cost was the major component. Dairying, on average, employed 208 man-days per annum and contributed about 14 percent share in the total income of these households. Inadequate sheds for animals, non-availability of land for fodder cultivation, high cost of feed and fodder, exploitation by a middleman, lack of knowledge about scientific feeding practices were the major constraints for all the sampled households. Dairying could be an important source for providing employment opportunities and supplementing the income of the landless households if the government assured them of the utilization of the village's common land, adequate financial assistance, extension services, and basic infrastructure facilities.

 The Swaziland Dairy Board (SDB) was established under the Act No. 28 of 1968 to promote increased dairy production to satisfy the domestic and export market. Despite numerous efforts of SDB through its dairy policy goals, Swaziland is failing to achieve self-sufficiency in liquid milk production, and can hardly sustain its local demand. Therefore, the study aimed at establishing the contribution of SDB policy goals on smallholder dairy farmers’ productivity. Primary data was collected from 120 dairy farmers through the use of a structured questionnaire in the Mbabane sub-region. The study characterized dairy farmers as mostly male (57%) who are aged above 55 years and married (88%), attained secondary education(48%) with farming experience of 4 years, milking averagely 2 cows per day, and each cow yielding averagely 10 litres and 13 litres per day for non-SDB and SDB members, respectively. The results further revealed that farmers trained by SDB were practicing more of the recommended animal husbandry practices compared to non-SDB farmers. Moreover, the SDB farmer’s milk yields were higher than non-SDB farmers at 10% significant level, although SDB farmers’ milk productivity is still regarded relatively low. Factors influencing productivity of milk among small holder dairy farmers included sex of the farmer, age, dairy sales incomes, number of milking cows, market distance, use of supplementary feed, dairy records keeping and the breeding system. Therefore, local milk production can increase if the stakeholders in the dairy industry can adopt SDB policy strategies, dairy related services and good livestock husbandry practices.

Aim: To determine the economics of milk production and yield gaps of crossbred cow, buffalo and indigenous cow in Jharkhand State of India. Study Design: The study was designed to cater the scope of production economics in reality by suggesting ways to bridge the yield gaps. Place and Duration of Study: The present study was conducted using 130 beneficiary farmers in Hazaribagh and Khunti districts of Jharkhand during the 2016-17 agricultural year. Methodology: As per the technique of the yield gap analysis, developed by Gomez (1977), the total yield gap is the sum of Yield Gap I (YG I) and Yield Gap II (YG II). The various cost components were identified under fixed cost and variable cost. Gross returns and net returns were then calculated accordingly. Results: The sampled households were post-stratified into two groups: Group 1 abbreviated as G1, having less than or equal to 2 lactating animals and Group 2 as G2, having more than two lactating animals. The proportion of G1 and G2 households were about 79 and 21 per cent, respectively. The results of data analysis reflected that milk yield gap between potential yield and actual yield (YG II) was higher than yield gap between experimental yield and potential yield (YG I) for both household groups across all the type of dairy animals. The YG II in crossbred cow was more than two times higher on G1 farm as compared to G2 farm while it was more than five times higher in local cow. The average productivity of crossbred (9.23 litres/ day) was much higher than the average productivity of buffalo (6.09 litres) and local cow (4.98 litres/day). Conclusion: Overall value of total yield gap (TYG) entails that if all the constraints regarding the milk production were tackled then the milk yield of the two districts could be increased by about 43 per cent. Buffalo was providing higher net returns per day per animal (Rs. 7.39) in comparison to crossbred (Rs. 5.19). Net returns both for per day and per litre were negative in case of local cow. The study reveals that the marginal farmers can become economically stable by incorporating dairying (crossbred and buffalo) as a component in their farming system.

<p>The objective of the study was to investigate rationality and allocative efficiency of the utilisation of production factors in smallholder dairy farmers. The study was conducted from June to August 2009 in the region of UPP Kaliurang cooperative, Sleman, Yogyakarta. There were forty respondents of smallholder dairy farmers taken by purposive sampling method. The primary data were taken from respondents and secondary data were from related institutions. Regression function of Cobb-Douglass model was used to determine the production factor which influenced milk production. Data were analysed based on unit/farmer. Coefficient of regression was estimated with Ordinary Least Square (OLS), further analysis was conducted by allocative efficiency. The result of this study showed that forage, concentrate, land owned/farmer, labor, number of livestock and percentage of lactating cows significantly affected the milk production (R2=0.78). Partially, percentage of lactating cows and total dairy cows had positive effect (P&lt;0.01 and P&lt;0.1) on the milk production of each farmer, however forage and concentrates did not affect the milk production. The result of allocative efficiency test showed that input consisted of forage and concentrates in this study have not achieved efficienly. Technically, the utilisation of production factors had not been rational, it was shown by the production elasticity (Ep) &gt;1 (1.462).</p><p>(Key words: Production of efficiency, Smallholder dairy farming, Factors of production)<br /><br /></p>

The study has made an attempt on resource use and economic efficiency of cucumber production under poly-house farming and open field farming. Primary data collected by using purposive sampling technique from selected districts. Sample of 50 farmers (25 Poly-house farmers and 25 Open field farmers) was taken from each district on the basis of availability. Secondary data was collected from Horticulture Department. For data analysis statistical tools average, percentage and Linear Cobb-Douglas Production Function was used. The study found that the yield of cucumber was more under poly-house farming as compare to open field farming system. The reason behind this was long harvesting period and more number of fruits per plant under poly-house farming conditions. The data specifies higher net returns per acre of cucumber under poly-house farming over open field farming, which implicit poly-house farming not only highly profitable but also economically viable as compared to open field farming in study area.

An On-Farm Trial was conducted on 24 lactating crossbred cows for assessment of feeding formaldehyde treated mustard cake (bypass protein) on milk production and economic analysis of lactating cow. Cows were divided into three groups having 8 cows each, treatments were farmers’ practice (FP); (Control): The lactating animals under this group were fedas per the feeding schedule of the farmers (5 kg. dry roughage as rice straw + 6 hrs grazing as local grass and 4 kg. commercial concentrates), T1: The lactating animals under this group were fed as per farmers practicewith 12% mustard cake of total diet was provided to the cow by replacing the same amount of commercial concentrates andT2: The lactating animals under this group were fed as per farmers practicewith 12% formaldehyde treated mustard cake of total diet was provided to the cow by replacing same amount of commercial concentrates. The average daily milk yield of lactating cows under FP, T1 and T2 was 8.58, 8.82 and 9.85 kg per cow, respectively. Differences between FP and T2 were significant. The daily increase in milk yield was 1.27 kg and 1.03 kg in cows fed T2diet over the cows fed FP and T1diet, respectively. The B: C ratios for FP, T1 and T2 groups were 2.6, 3.0 and 3.3, respectively. The feed cost reduced in T2 group by Rs. 8.64 and increased milk production by 1.27 kg in respect to FP group.
