Dairy Management

"The Ozark Dairy Management Component, initiated April, 1966, had set forth as a major purpose: the improvement of management practices among low income dairy-farmer participants. Accomplishment of the primary and secondary objectives was to have resulted in income levels at least equal to and greater than minimum designated poverty level. Subobjectives as stated in the project proposal, were: 1. To raise income per cow at least $200 over fee costs. 2. To insure enough cows to justify the dairy farmer's time, equipment and investment. 3. To insure enough acreage per cow to furnish a reserve supply of pasture, hay, and other roughage. 4. To assist in securing financing, where needed, whereby the dairy farmer could increase his income by a sufficient amount to pay off borrowed capital, interest, and increase net income. 5.To assist in improving milk quality. 6. To improve and maintain herd health."-Page 2

The present study was carried out to find out the constraints in implementation of improved dairy related activities among the dairy farmers in adopted villages who have been receiving regular guidance and technical support from KVK, Banavasi, Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh. A total of 120 farmers from 3 mandals were selected using simple random sampling method and a series of questions covering aspects like breeding, feeding, health care and clean milk production were administered and constraints were recorded and categorised. The beneficiaries perceived "non-availability of green fodder throughout the year" (81.66%) and "A.I. centre not/distantly located" (64%) as the most serious infrastructural constraints. "Cost of rearing crossbred cows is very high" (89.66%) and "excess workload" (84%) as the main constraints of socio psychological nature encountered by the beneficiaries.

This investigation was carried out to study the fodder resource management practices followed by selected 40 commercial dairy farmers in and around Navsari city of South Gujarat. The required information was collected through personal interview. Data analyzed revealed that buffalo consisted more than two third of total strength. Population of younger animals like calves and heifers were 33 and 9 % of total herd strength, respectively. The annual green and dry fodder availability calendar showed that 95 % farmers used sugarcane top during November to March. During April to July 100 % respondents fed whole sugarcane, whereas during August to October 34, 15 and 4 farms were using green grass, green sorghum and green maize, respectively. Among dry fodder, paddy straw was popular and used by 37 farms, whereas 10 farms were using sorghum straw. The quantity of fodder used by each farm revealed that sugarcane tops fulfilled average 39.27 % of ration requirement in 38 farms. Similarly, green sugarcane fulfilled average 23 % of ration requirement in all 40 farms. Green cut and carry grass fulfilled 13.15 % of ration in 34 farms. As far as dry fodder was concerned, paddy straw and sorghum straw were used to fulfill 41.49 and 31.70 % of their ration requirement in farms, where it was used. Among concentrates cotton seed cake, wheat bran and compound concentrate (Sumul Dan) were used by 38, 20 and 16 farms, respectively. They were using cotton seed cake at proportion of 33% in their ration. Analysis of demand and supply of feed and fodder resources revealed that all farms studied together required annually 10124, 2248 and 2248 tons of green fodder, dry fodder and concentrate as per thumb rule feeding of dry matter at 3 % of body weight. However, all feed resources were in shortfall by 21-51 %. Annual shortage of dry fodder was the highest, i.e., 51.33 % and shortage of concentrate was the lowest (14.64 %).

The IRD Focused on Dairying Programme was initiated in two Districts of Uttar Pradesh for increasing the income and employment of the dairy farmers. Under the programme adoption behaviour of farmers towards growing berseem cv. vardan was studied. The variables such as education, dairy income, total income, family education, land holding, herd size, extension contact, personal–localite sources, knowledge of fodder cultivation practices, level of aspiration, attitude towards dairy scheme, employment generation and mass media were selected. To find out characteristics, which differentiate between ‘high’ and ‘low’ adopters, Mahalnobis D2 function was used and it was observed that attitudes have to be changed first for higher adoption of high yielding variety of berseem fodder crop, and more the dairy income more was the adoption. Knowledge level regarding scientific dairy farming practices also contributed to a great extent and a dairy farmer high on this variable was expected to take appropriate management decision to adopt all package and practices to get maximum yield of green fodder. Next in order of importance were total income, land holding and herd size, which often determine the standard of living and extension contacts of a dairy farmer and go a long way in influencing his adoption behavior.

A study was undertaken with the objective of assessing the knowledge and adoption of improved dairy management practices among women dairy farmers in Dindigul District of Tamil Nadu. Following multistage sampling procedure, 300 women dairy farmers involved in dairying were selected. The data were collected through a well structured schedule by personally interviewing the selected women dairy farmers. The study revealed that majority of the women dairy farmers had knowledge about time of feeding first colostrum to new born calves, dry period allowed for lactating pregnant animals, right time of insemination and the extent of adoption is also high. The overall knowledge level of women dairy farmers were found to be moderate (48.33 per cent) followed by good (27.34 per cent) and poor (24.33 per cent).

Good dairy management practices are a widely important tool for facilitating and promoting farmers' production and marketing of healthy, high quality milk and milk products to meet food and consumer expectations. In this context, the present research study was designed to make an attempt to find out the extent of adoption of animal welfare practices by the dairy farmers at field level. The study was conducted in the Central plain zone of Uttar Pradesh State. Four districts (Hardoi, Auraiya, Allahabad and Kaushambi) were selected purposively. One block from each district and from each block two villages and from each village 15 farmer-respondents were selected randomly. A total of 120 respondents were finally approached for the primary data collection. The salient findings with regard to adoption of good dairy management practices revealed that, more than half of the respondents (55.83%) belonged to medium level of adoption category, followed by 27.56 and 16.67% in low and high level of adoption category, respectively. The study further suggests sensitizing and training the extension personnel’s /veterinarians about the good dairy management practices and strengthening the dairy extension services among dairy farmers in the study area.
