“…The nutritional imbalances due to poor knowledge of balanced nutrition and higher cost of branded feed available in the market result in low body condition score of affected animals. Malik et al (2017) also reported similar findings as major constraints in dairy farming in Punjab. Imakawa et al (1986) reported that poor nutrition or underfeeding occurs most frequently and results in weak estrus expression and reduced ovulation, extended periods of anestrus following calving, low conception and fertilization rates.…”

“…Lack of AI and PD services at door step by expert inseminators was also perceived as a constraint in controlling this disease. This constraint was due to improper storage and thawing of semen, poor post thaw handling, incorrect and inappropriate insemination technique that too by the quacks (Malik et al 2017). Correctness and precision of the above mentioned steps were mandatory in achieving high success rate with AI (Salisburry et al 1985).…”

The present study investigated the occurrence of repeat breeding (RB) and constraints in controlling this disease in cattle and buffalo in Punjab. Livestock owners/households (720) constituted the ultimate sampling units for the study. The dairy farmers were categorized into small (5â€“10 animals), medium (11â€“50) and large (>50) farmers. The overall prevalence of repeat breeding in the study area was 27.6%. It varied significantly with respect to herd size and categories of animals except in buffaloes. The highest prevalence was observed in crossbred cattle (41.8%), followed by indigenous cattle (32.0%) and buffaloes (17.6%). Repeat breeder animals were mostly high yielders (with >15 kg milk yield), calved mostly in winter season, having below average body condition score (BCS). No significant correlation was observed between parity (lactation number) and type of calving and prevalence of repeat breeding. The major constraint (rank I) perceived by farmers was culling of affected problematic cows, and lack of effective and accurate estrus detection in buffaloes. The other major constraints perceived in the study area were high cost of veterinary medicine, poor conception rate following artificial insemination and inaccessibility of qualified veterinarian. The lack of knowledge regarding animal nutrition and higher cost of branded feed available in the market were responsible for low body condition score of affected animals. Thus, a comprehensive policy and programmes involving various stakeholders are required for effective control of repeat breeding in Punjab.

“…The age of the commercial dairy farm owners 30 and their education status does not profoundly affect the economics of commercial dairy farms 25 . Commercial dairy farming experience 27 , training received 40 , knowledge level of the farmers about the improved animal husbandry practices 7 and adoption level of scientific management practices 2 has a better impact on the economics of commercial dairy farm.…”

The most coveted title of "The largest producer of milk in the world" is persistent in the hands of India for several decades. The said title is made possible through the constant efforts made by the Government of India through the implementation of productivity enhancement and development programmes from time to time to upsurge milk production. This paradigm shift in milk production has been contributed by many factors viz., ART with semen of high yielders; awareness of farmers regarding scientific feeding and management; disease control and prevention by vaccination and shifting farmers from traditional rearing to commercial farming etc. Commercial dairy farming is entirely different from the commonly practiced farming activities followed by the villagers who rear few cows. Commercial production is an organized and well-planned venture that provides scientific inputs in breeding, housing, feeding, management, and marketing. Focus on critical analysis regarding the requirements for commercial dairy farming, constraints faced by the commercial farmers, threats and opportunities in the industry and all other relevant aspects are covered in the review for future planning by policy makers. In this review, comparison has been made between developed countries especially USA and India on the status of milch animals, livestock production management strategies adopted etc. in commercializing the dairy industry.
