Introduction to Dairy Farming

Dairy farming is an enterprise, for long-term production of milk and milk products, usually from dairy cows but also from goats and sheep, which may be either processed on-site or transported to a dairy factory for processing and eventual retail sale. In short, it is a farm for producing milk and milk products.

Why do Dairy Farming?

Dairying is an important source of subsidiary income to small/marginal farmers and agricultural laborers. The manure from animals provides a good source of organic matter for improving soil fertility and crop yields. The surplus fodder and agricultural by-products are gainfully utilized for feeding the animals.
A farmer can earn a gross surplus of about Rs. 12,000 per year from a unit consisting of 2 milking buffaloes.

Facts & Figures

India is the largest manufacturer of dairy products in the world with 115*10kg/y. Followed by United States (80*10kg/y) and Germany (39*10kg/y). New Zealand is the largest exporter of dairy products.
In India, Milk production alone involves more than 70 million producers, each raising one or two cows/ buffaloes primarily for milk production. World over dairy animal productivity has increased to many-fold, whereas in India the milk production and fertility have remained more or less static over several decades.
