“…The effect of green fodder on milk yield was significantly positive in all seasons whereas, in case of concentrate the effect was positive and significant (p<0.01) during winter and rainy seasons only. A number of studies also reported positive effect of green fodder, dry fodder and concentrate on milk yield in different states of India (Venkatesh and Sangeetha, 2011;Meena et al 2012;Pandian et al 2013;Kaware and Yadav, 2014). Similar findings were reported in Pakistan (Shah et al 2009;Andaleeb and Khan, 2017) as well as in Bangladesh (Mondal et al 2010).…”

This paper estimated the effect of season on milk yield and cost of milk production in Meghalaya, a state located in the North Eastern hill region of India. Primary data were collected from 300 randomly selected dairy farmers in three different seasons during 2013-14. It was found that a herd was composed of 2.27 crossbreds and 1.20 local milking cows in the study area. The net maintenance cost was highest in the month of winter in case of local cows (75) and in the month of rainy season in case of CBs (167) whereas, minimum in summer season for both local (68) and CB (151) cows. The net returns per litre of milk were negative for local cows whereas, it were positive for crossbreds; highest being in rainy season and lowest in the summer season. The amount of labour and green fodder have positive, but the stage of lactation has negative and significant effect on the milk yield across the seasons. The milk yield in rainy and winter season was significantly higher than the summer season. The ANCOVA model indicated significant effect of season on milk yield of in milk cows in the study area.

Background: Dairy farming has emerged as an important profitable enterprise in India as it is a source of income, especially for small and marginal farmers;the study aims to understand the reasons for increased profit of dairy farmers of South Indian states. Methods: The present study was undertaken in Southern Indian states during 2020-21 to estimate the profit efficiency of milk producers across different herd-size categories. Result: Maximum likelihood estimates (MLE) of specified profit function revealed that overall, prices of green fodder (0.1873), prices of concentrate (0.1072), veterinary service rate (0.0569) and herd size (0.7545), had a positive and significant impact on normalized profits, whereas prices of dry fodder (-0.0277) and labour wages (-0.1652) had a negative and significant impact on normalized profits, respectively. Overall, the mean profit efficiency of dairy farmers was found to be 58.65 per cent indicating 41.35 per cent of profit efficiency was lost due to technical and allocative inefficiencies in milk production. Results from the profit inefficiency model revealed that overall, education, herd size, herd composition and experience in dairy farming had a negative and significant impact on profit inefficiency.

“…Further, for the overall category, the MVPs of green fodder (1.968), dry fodder (2.439) and concentrate (1.277) were significantly greater than unity signifying their underutilization whereas that of labour (0.673) was significantly less than unity indicating its overutilization. (Tanwa ret al 2015, Meena et al 2019.This implies that a further increase in the use of green fodder, dry fodder and concentrate and a decrease in the use of labour can increase the returns from milk production.…”

Background: In India dairy farming is a significant part of the rural population, providing not only supplementary income and nutritional standards but also organic manures and draught power. Andhra Pradesh ranks 5th in total milk production in India with an output of 15.04 million metric tonnes and Chittoor district is one of the leading districts for dairy farming in the state. There is an increasing trend in milk production; however, the main drawback faced by the milk producers in dairy farming is the low productivity of milch animals. Assessing the economics of milk production would be extremely beneficial in planning for the improvement of productivity of dairy animals and framing policies to increase the profitability of dairy farms. Methods: Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh was purposively selected for the present investigation. The primary data was collected from 80 respondents of which 40 each from two villages in the year 2021. The economics of milk production and the resource use efficiency of milk were computed based on collected data. Result: The per-day gross cost for maintaining local cow, crossbred cow and buffalo was found to be ₹ 161.09, ₹ 246.16 and ₹ 196.07, respectively. The overall cost per litre of milk was found to be slightly high in the case of buffalo (₹ 31.45), followed by the local cow (₹ 31.33) and crossbred cow (₹ 19.69), respectively. The net returns per litre of milk were found to be highest in the case of the crossbred cow (₹ 7.45), followed by buffalo (₹ 3.66) and local cow (₹ 0.12). It was observed that the net return per litre of milk for local cows was very less due to high feed cost, labour cost and low productivity of milk. Green fodder, dry fodder and concentrate were observed underutilized whereas labour was found to be over-utilized.
