    1 PREFACE, INTRODUCTION AND PROJECT DETAIL

    World milk production has doubled in the last few decades. India is the largest milk producing country in the world. But even then, there ishuge gap in demand and supply of milk in most parts of our country. The present low level of per capita availability of milk with the higher growth ofpopulation clearly indicates the ever-increasing need as well as demand of fresh milk in the country as whole. Further, most of the milk comes fromtraditional dairy farms and individual farmers without giving much consideration for the quality of milk. The existing ways of supply milk toconsumers, are

    i) collecting the raw milk from particular milk shed area to supply to the city consumer as such .ii) the milk is brought to the big capacity milk processing plant situated near the city, it is processed and distributed iin the city where the plant is

    located.Plants of such capacity require continuous supply of milk from existing small rural livestock units.With modernisation and urbanisation the rural

    milk supply to these plants are likely to s uffer both in terms of quantity and quality. Enormous scope exists for modern dairry farming for producingquality milk for meeting increasing demand of urban population.

    The last few years have also witnessed a consistent increase in the organized production of milk .Over time cow rearing has shifted from thebackyard to commercial farms and largebusiness enterprises. Apart from dairy farms growth in the traditional bastions, it is also gaining a footholdin other regions of the world where cattle rearing was always a traditional activity. The immense popularity of cow milk has ensured growth in dairycattle industry. However for this species to perform optimally under the pressure of intensive production systems and having focus on the desiredhigher output, it is highly desireable to have scientific management with some degree of mechanisation . Cattle farminng in india, although potentiallyexcellent milk production, still languish in obscure conditions of poor nutrition, breeding, management and welfare under traditional system andcertainly performe excellent when scientifically managed.

    Keeping all these points in view, it has been proposed to establish a commercial dairy farm (100cattle and followers), producing about 1000 Lt.Milk/day, initialy the milk will be sold as such to bulk buyer and later on after processing and packaging in the near by areas.Feasibility of the venture of the proposed Mini Dairy mainly depends on the effective production and procurement of low cost quality feedProposal for setting up the cattle dairy farm has been taken by conducting necessary surveys confirming the regular availability of good quality rawmilk at reasonable price and market where the finished products can be distributed with reasonable profit. Care full studies regarding the milkproduction, feed/fodder availability and market situation indicates that the proposal is technically and economically feasible the proposed areaaround Karnal (Village Naru Kheri)

    DETAIL OF PROJECT ANIMALS PRODUCTION & MANAGEMENT TO BE FOLLOWED IN THIS PROJECT1. BREED SELECTIONS AND JUDGING

    Breed selection and judging of dairy animal is one of the important factors that can influence profitability of a dairy enterprise. Therefore, propercare will be taken while selecting and judging cow for a new dairy Holstein friesian croddbred cows from haryana & punjab state will be selected.Management will ensure that instead of buying average type of cow only crossbred cows of holstein friesian breeds having potential to produce notless than 4599lit./lactation shall be purchased at a reasonable price.i) Only freshly calved cow within one month of calving preferably with female calves will be prefered. cow in 1st to 3rd lactation preferably will beconsidered for purchase.ii) Before finalising purchase deal, Management will ensure that the animal has potential to yield 4500 lit/lactation. This can be worked out byusing suitable conclusion factor or Actual recording of two days yield .iii) Since physical appearance (conformations and dairy character) of the animals referred as type are closely related with milk production, thereforecow, with good dairy type fulfilling other requirement will only be preferred.iv) History Sheet: Health records (including history of vaccinations) and general health of the herd from which the cow comes (if possible) will be

    taken cared, while purchasing animals.Pedigree is the record of the cow ancestor and can serve valuable basis for selection and will be considered.However, except at well organized farms, Govt. farms, Military farms, no other farm keep such record in India in a reliable way .2. TRANSPORTATION AND MANAGEMENT OF NEWLY ARRIVED COW2.1Transportation

    In order to transport cattle to the dairy project site after their purchase in a safe and fit condition without any economic loss, following procedurewill be followed:Animals will be transported by truck .Animals will be insured for the transit.2.2Management of newly arrived cow

    The staff at the site of the project will be well informed and prepared to receive the new animals at the farm. Proper planning, plus adequate

    equipment and supplied will facilitate the management of these newly arrived .cowNormally cattle on their arrival are:i) Hungry and thirstyii) Experiencing a diet changeiii) TiredThey need to be:i) Wateredii) Fediii) Vaccinatediv) Dewormedv) Groomedvi) Identification mark given

    vii) Treated (if they are sick)viii) Given vitaminsix) During quarantine period, keep in separate shed, away from main dairy units.

However bulls and down-calvers (cow nearingparturition) require more space due to obvious reasons. Another important aspect to be taken care of in animal houses is the provisions of correctlength and size of Mangers and water tanks so that all animals can have access to feed and water always. Sufficient open and covered space isessential in loose housing system for proper up-keep of the animals without undue competition and fighting. The size of standing space will beplanned as per the size of various categories of the animals and as per recomendations.1)Soil

So the aims of housingare to provide the conducive environment for better growth, reproduction and production performance.Detail housing plan and equipment are shown in the annexures1 &24. FEEDING AND FODDER PRODUCTION

    For running the dairy project in profit, it will be important to keep the feeding cost minimum by proper planning of feeding programmes. Properplanning of fodder production and feeding schedule for different categories of dairy animals, are very important to run the project in profit.Fodder Production: Management will ensure that the land earmarked for the fodder production must produce more than 700 qtls. fodder/acreannually using:i) High yielding fodder crops seed.ii) Preferring multi-cut varieties than single cut.iii) Preferring growing of combination of leguminous and non-leguminous crops.

    iv) Ensilaging surplus fodder for scarcity period.Management will ensure that project workers associated with fodder production remains in touch with i) total agriculture universities/fodderproduction department/department of agronomy, ii) Indian Grassland and Fodder Research Institute, Jhansi, iii) Incharge, Fodder Farm, National DairyResearch Institute, Karnal.4.1 Feeding Dairy Cattle

    Feed costs are about 50 to 60 ercent of the total cost of roducin milk. Cows need to be fed balanced rations to ive the most rofitable level of

  • 7/30/2019 100cows Project Withtext for Learning

    18/28

    production. Milk production of the individual cows is limited by heredity. Differences in milk production among cows of same breed are due to about25 percent heredity and 75 percent environment. Feeding has the most influence and proper feeding and care allows the cow to produce closer to herpotential ability.

    Feeding programme with the consultation of a animal nutritionist will be worked out periodically, keeping in view the local casts & availabilities forthe different categories of dairy animal for any dairy project. For high pedigree calves following feeding programme will be also tried:

    Periodical deworming will be carried for calves for proper utilization of nutrients.

    Composition of Calf Starter:For preparing calf starters, least cost feed formulation techniques using Linear programming on computer will be used. A typical composition of a

    calf starter to be used is given below. However, availability of ingredients, cost of ingredients, cost of other alternative ingredients (at the time of itsactual use) will decide exact composition of the calf starter.

    A typical calf starter:

    Maize - 42%Ground nut cake - 28%Wheat bran - 20%Skim milk powder/ fishmeal - 7%

    Mineral mixture (ISI mark) - 3%Nutritive values DCP - 19.29%TDN - 72.20

    It is expected daily gain of such calves will be about 600 gm/day.

    Feeding growing and lactating dairy animals: Feeding programme for these categories of animals will be worked out keeping in view local availablefeed &fodders etc. and there cost with consultation of animal nutritionist.Water Requirements:

    Table: Drinking Water Requirement for Cattle/buffalo( Litre/day*)Calves : 10Young stock, average:25 (8 12/100 kg body weight)Heifers:35 45

    Dry dairy buffalo:40 60Milking buffalo:5O 100*There may be sufficient variations depending upon the season of the year and the prevailing temperature and humidity parameters.

    5 REPRODUCTION AND BREEDING POLICY5.1ReproductionA good management must manage following points of reproductive failure and therefore it will be taken cared:i) The general physical condition of the animal has an effect on its ability to reproduce. An animal, which is too fat or too thin, may not becomepregnant when bred. Proper nutrition and exercise will help to prevent this problem. Animal in poor physical conditions may have trouble giving birth.ii) There are several infections, which affect the reproductive organs of the animals. Some may prevent pregnancy and other may cause abortion.Infection of the uterus or general poor health of the animal may cause difficulty in giving birth.

    iii) The secretion of hormones affects the sexual behaviour of animals when these hormones are not properly secreted. The animal may not be ableto reproduce. Some times, it is necessary to treat the animal with hormones to overcome this problem.iv) A Cyst is a swelling containing a fluid or semi-solid substance. Cyst may occur in the reproductive organs and cause breeding problems. Somecysts can be removed by surgery or treated with hormones but all cysts cannot be treated.

    Failure to detect animal in heat and proper insemination with proper semen is one of the major reasons of poor conception under Indian condition.v) Not all female animals become re nant when bred. The reason for this re roductive failure are not alwa s known.

    5.2 Breeding PolicyAt the proposed farm, these murraha buffaoes will be mated with the frozen semen of superior murraha bulls , which have high pedigree and/or

    progeny index while selecting the semen care will be taken to avoid inbreeding in the herd.6. CARE OF NEW BORN CALF

    Success of dairy project also depends upon fast rearing to a breedable age and with a minimum mortality. Mortality of calves (0-1month) will be

    kept below 7 percent by proper following of package of practices and feeding schedule as suggested below:Package of practices for calves:

    Age/ days Treatment Preventive against

    1 Colostrum 2-2.5lt/day To built immunity1 Use of antibiotics and nutrional formula as suggested by local vetrenarian Calf scours1 Sealing navel vessel Navel ill2 Vitamin A concentrate 1 ml vitablend or other simmillar supplement Night blindness5 Piperazine adipate1 g/4 g live wt. Ascariasis6-11 Piperazine adipate1 g/4 g live wt. Ascariasis6-11 Suitable antibiotic for coccidiosis prevention Coccidiosis

    Besides above practices, use mineral supplement vitamin supplements like TM-5 or Aurofac daily, Rovimix in oil once a week (10,000 I.U. ofVitamin A) will be followed. Healthy calves with higher growth rate and low mortality rate are essential for higher profit from a dairy project.Following important management points will be considered to achieve above objective:i) Cleaning of the new born calf. Cutting the extra naval cord with sterile blade, dipping the naval cord in 7% iodine solution, sealing it properly.Feeding colostrum within 1 hr, this will built immunity and is highly nutritions and laxative.ii) In young calves Supplementation of Vit. A, D and E will be used.iii) Marking of the calf for permanent identification before it is removed from its dam will be carried. Date of birth, sire and dam will be recorded.iv) Weaning the calf, and use of a nipple pail to feed the calf or teach the calf to drink from a pail will be practiced.v) All feeding equipment will be kept clean and sterile. Feeding equipment will be Washed and sanitized. Cleaning the equipments after eachfeeding will be followed.

    vi) Feeding programme package of practices as suggested earlier will be followed.vii) Tattooing for permanent number will be carried within 1-2 days.viii) Dehorning the calf with electric dehorner within 7-14 days of age will be carried.ix) Removing of extra teat, if any, will be carried when calf will be 1-2 month of age.x) Surplus animals will be disposed at the earliest.7. DAIRY HERD HEALTH AND INSURANCE7.1 Dairy Herd Health

    Management will ensure that an overall plan for maintaining the health of the dairy herd is developed and executed using the services of theveterinarian associated with the project.

    a) A planned programme of regular vaccination and bred testing is carried out.b) Health records of all animals in the herd will be maintained.c) Follow a planned programme for mastitis control. Mastitis is one of the major cause of economic losses in crossbred (Holstein crosses) dairy herdsin India.d) Accurate reproductive records will be kept. Regular examination of cows with breeding or calving problems will be carried.

  • 7/30/2019 100cows Project Withtext for Learning

    20/28

    e) A planned programme of calf health care will be followedf) A planned programme of vaccination will be followed.g) To control and prophylaxis against external and internal parasites necessary measures will be taken.To reduce health problems the following management practices will be followed:

    Proper feeding of the herd.Proper housing, cleaning, sanitation & equipments facilities.Using clean and dry bedding.Replacing/culling properly.Isolatingof sick animals.

    7.2 InsuranceIn India, four subsidiaries of G.I.C. of India are carrying the business of cattle insurance. There is an agreement between these subsidiaries of GIC

    in respect of cattle insurance business and is observed by them with regard to rates, terms and conditions prescribed in the agreement. Therefore,any of the four Insurance Companies will be approached for insuring dairy cattle.i) Transit insurance cover for all newly purchased animal and to be transported to project site must be taken.ii) All milch cows will be got insured.iii) Replacement stock (Good heifers with higher EPA) will also be considered for taking insurance cover. Normally 4-6% (gross) is the premium rate ofinsurance for dairies having more than 100 animals.iv) There is some 15% discount for long term policies of 3 years. Management may consider this type of policies for replacement stock.8. MANAGEMENT OF DRY COW

    Dry cow are those, which are not producing milk. Most cows need a dry period between lactations. Very after management neglects theseanimals, which may cause decrease in the profit in due course of time. Therefore, management of this dairy project will ensure that propermanagement of these categories of dairy project animals is carried. Following points will be considered.i) The average length of pregnancy for dairy cow is 280 days (a seven-day variation in gestation is considered normal). The cow should be dry for45-60 days. The date to begin dry period is calculated back from projected date of calving.ii) Conditioning for the dry period is done during last few weeks of lactation. Research shows that body fat is replaced most efficiently during latelactation than during the dry period. cow should not be too fat or too thin at the end of the lactation. Adjusting the grain-to-roughage ratio cancontrol weight. Give thin cow a higher percent of grain (concentrate) and fat cows less grain.iii) proper procedure will be followed to dry off the cow to avoid udder problems. Following suggested method will be followed:a) Milk the cow every other day for several days.

    b) Do not feed concentrate/grain, reduce water and forage intake for one or two days. After the feed has been reduced for the recommended time,stop milking the cow. Routine treatment for mastitis a drying off is recommended. Treat the cow for mastitis at the last milking. Watch the udder forabnormal swelling for two or three weeks after drying off.

    iv)Separate dry fcowrom the milking herd. They may be grouped with the bred heifers. Allow dry cows to get plenty of exercise.v) Do not overfed or underfed, feed mainly good quality roughages and recommended concentrate. Limit body gain to no more than 45 kg from latelactation to the next calving. When dry cow get too fat, there are more problem with ketosis, depressed appetite milk fever, displaced abomasum.Cows that are too fat have problem at calving time.vi) Research shows that it pays to treat dry cow for internal parasite. Ask Veterinarian for this treatment programme.vii) During last few days of the dry period, watch the cow closely for sign of calving. Ensure safe delivery in a calving-pen. Calving-pen floor shouldnot be slippery and should have proper bed of dry straw. Ensure that after birth is expelled within 48 hours after calving. If it is not farm veterinarianmust help.

    viii) After calving watch the cow for signs of milk fever, ketosis, or other health problem. Provide fresh water and hay/soft roughages/wheat branafter calving. It takes several days to get a cow and bull feed after calving. Gradually increase concentrate feeding.

    9. RAISING DAIRY COWS FOR REPLACEMENT

    In any dairy project, necessary importance must be given to raise dairy cows for replacement for milking herd. From 15-20% of the average

  • 7/30/2019 100cows Project Withtext for Learning

    21/28

    milking herd should be replaced every year.REPLACEMENTS need is to be selected from those animals with the highest potential for milk production.Following advantages are expected by raising dairy cow for replacement:i) Less cost than buying replacements.ii) Greater control of genetic improvement.iii) Less chance of bringing disease in to the herd.iv) Use of labour and facilities (fixed facilities) which might otherwise not be used.v) Increase income by sale of extra calves.

    vi) Personal satisfaction from herd improvement.10. CULLING OF UNDESIRABLE ANIMALS

    Culling is permanently removing cows from the herd. Culling is necessary improve performance of the herd thereby improving returns every years.The most common reasons for culling are low milk production, reproduction problems, diseases, udder problems etc. In a well managed farm, out ofthe total animal culled for reason, other than milk production will be low, thereby giving a chance to cull low producing animals, replaced by highproducing animals. This can improve milk production level of the herd every year. However, if more and more animals with reasons other than milkproduction are culled out of the fixed culling percentage, this leaves no chance to cull lower producers and to no chance to improve the herd milkproduction (See Table below). This concept will be followed for this dairy project:

    Reasons PercentLow production 32.5Reproductive problems 26.6Mastitis 10.4Disease 7.7Teat or udder injury 7.2Poor udder confirmation 5.0Accidents and injury 4.0Poor feet and legs 2.0Other poor conformations 1.2Hard to milk or leaks milk 1.9Poor disposition 0.8

    Other miscellaneous reasons 0.7

    It is proposed that following categories of animals will be culled at the earliest suitable opportunity to minimize the losses and to improve milkproduction level of the herd:i) Those with the lowest estimated relative producing ability.ii) First calf heifers producing 30 percent or more below herd average.iii) Other cows producing 20 percent or more below herd average.iv) Sell all the calves/heifers from buffaloes that are low producers (bottom 15 to 20 percent of the herd).v) Those that are still not bred 150 days after calving.vi) Those that have repeated health problems.

    vii) Those with poor udders and/or feet and leg problems.viii) Nervous and/or hard to handle lows.When animals will be culled in this project:

    It is important to decide that when during the lactation period a given cow is to be culled. An analysis of production and financial records willshow an economic break-even point for the herd. Both variable and fixed costs are included in finding break even. The break even point to thatproduction level at which the costs of producing 100 kg milk equal the price received for that milk.

  • 7/30/2019 100cows Project Withtext for Learning

    22/28

    Further, the cost, availability and estimated productivity of replacement cow will be considered while deciding cow for cull. The number ofcows, which can be handled by the facilities on the farm, must also be considered. If the facilities can handle more cows than are available asreplacement than the break even point should be calculated on variable lists. The total fixed costs remain the same, regardless of how many cowsare in the herd.11. DAIRY RECORDS

    Estimates, guesses and beliefs cannot be used satisfactorily in the management of modern dairy farm enterprise. Facts and Figures help inefficient management of a farm. Record keeping is essential for evaluated the performance and for taking remedial actions to maximise profits.Application of computer has very crucial role in dairy record management and shall be utilised in this project.It is expected following records will be maintained at a dairy unit .i) Date of birth and pedigree information (at least parents and preferably grand parents also of the animals.ii) Records on growth.iii) Reproduction records (oestrus, breeding, pregnancy diagnosis and calving).iv) Milk production records (daily).v) Health and veterinary record (vaccination).vi) Therapy of diseases and disorders.vii) Feeding items records (daily consumption of green fodder, straw and concentrate) estimated values.viii) Periodic test of milk fat, SNF, quality.

    ix) History sheet.x) Besides above records, following records are also to be maintained:Complete farm business records (purchase of feed, seed, fodder, fertilizers, veterinary medicines, irrigation implements, electricity and fuel expenses,sale of milk, animals, skin, manure, labour wages etc.).

    Format of such records are available with Agricultural Universities, Dairy Research Institute or can be developed at the farm as per requirement.Records will be used for following purposes:i) In making decision about culling of animals.ii) In reducing feed cost.iii) In proper utilization of land and labour.iv) Comparing performance with standard values.v) Proper breeding of herd.

    vi) Proper claiming from insurance companies.12. MILKING MANAGEMENT

    It is proposed to follow following milking practices for the dairy animals of the proposed dairy farm :i) Newly purchased buffaloes will be initially milked with hand until the animals are made familiar with machine milking.ii) For hand milking full hand method will be applied.iii) A regular routine of milking will be followed. Dairy cows respond with higher production when milked regularly at about same times each day.Milking interval will be about equal. The day time interval can be somewhat shorter than the night interval. Three time milking will be practiced (6-20% more milk over two time milking is expected.

    iv)Warm water (in winter otherwise fresh water) containing sanitizing agent such as chlorine or iodine for washing udders and (single serving)

    disposable paper (if economy permits) otherwise clean dry towels will be used for cleaning, before milking. Strip cup will be used for watchingabnormal milk if in any quarter. Milking will be carried with clean hands.v) Usually cows milk out for 3-6 minutess after stimulating letdown. Milker must milk cow quickly emptying the udder completely for maximum milkproduction. Complete emptying of udder will be ensured to prevent mastitis.vi) Before using machine milking, milker will acquire proper training to avoid injury to the udder.vii) It will be ensured that after milking teats are properly sanitized in a sanitizing solution containing chlorine, iodine etc.

  • 7/30/2019 100cows Project Withtext for Learning

    23/28

    viii) Healthy cows will be milked first and cows with udder problems at last.Quality milk production

    It will be ensured that high quality milk with following qualities is produced:i) Free from dirt and other sediment.ii) Low bacteria count.iii) No chemical contamination.iv) Low somatic cell.v) No water.vi) Has good flavour.

    Management of this dairy project is expected to follow the following practices to provide high quality milk for selling at premium price:High standard of cleanliness of cows, sheds, milking equipments.Keeping cows healthy, free from mastitis.Proper cooling and quick disposal of milk.13. LABOUR MANAGEMENT

    Dairy farming being a labour intensive enterprise in India requires proper management to improve profits. Expenditure on labour cost is second tothe cost of feed in annual cost of keeping a cow. To reduce this expenditure, management of this project will ensure:

    i) Proper planning of animal housing units.ii) Proper grouping of different buildings of the dairy enterprise.iii) Selection of proper equipment, durable and give trouble free service.iv) Proper training and demonstration will be given about the expected task assigned to the labour.v) Care will be taken for the welfare of the labour and incentives will be given to improve efficiency of labour.vi)Where so ever possible casual labour will be used.

    vii) Work from labour will be taken as per labour acts.Following Kind of Labour will be selected for Dairy Farm:i) Honest and hard working.ii) Punctual and swift in action.iii) Prepared to work at odd hours of night.

    iv) Pay attention and has love for animals.14. SAFETY AT FARM

    Dairy Farming can become dangerous and risky if proper safety measures are not used. Besides loss of human loss, there can be financialliabilities on the management as per different laws of the constitution. Studies have shown in farm accidents either farm machinery is involved oranimals confined in a building. Farm machinery accidents cause generally fatal injuries, whereas injuries from animals are not as bad as injuries frommachinery, causing loss of money, time, productivity of the farm.

    To avoid injury, people who work with farm machinery and farm animals must be careful and practice good safety habits. Since management isrequired by law to provide safe and healthy work place for their employers, therefore, it is in the interest of the management to inform workers aboutsafety practices.Types and kind of injuries at a Dairy Farm:

    Injuries from animalsusually occur when they kick or step on people or push them against hard surface such as side of a pen. People may beinjured falling when working with cows.Human and Environmental Factors Relating to Safety:i) Human error is usually a major factor in the cause of accidents. Being tired, not paying attention and using poor judgement are frequent cause ofaccidents that involves animals.

These include slippery floors, manure pit, silo, chaff cutter machinery andlivestock confinement building. Necessary protective measures will be adopted for such working environments.

    Chemical Safety:Come chemicals like pesticides etc. that are used in dairy farming can be dangerous. All workers will be instructed to follow safe practices relating

    to use of these chemicals.Storing Chemicals:

    Farm chemicals such as pesticides etc. will be stored in a safe place with proper label and warning.First-Aid Kits:

    First-aid kits containing the proper medical supplies will be kept at farm.Fire Safety:

    Fire can be one of the most serious hazards on dairy farm. Fires are usually caused by carelessness. Most fire starts with electrical equipments orcigarette, matchsticks. To prevent fire following measures will be taken:

    Fuels, straw etc. will be stored in a safe way.Smoking will be prohibited near such buildings.

    All electrical wires and equipment will be kept in good conditions.When planning new building, these will be spaced at least 50 feet from each others.Fire extinguishers will be Located near doorways, in all buildings. These will be Inspected regularly to make sure that they are fully charged.Water outlets and hoses will be Provided around the building.Following points of Safety Practices with Dairy Livestock will be followed:Planning ahead when working with animals in or enclosed space to provide way out.Use of proper equipment while handling livestock.It will be ensured that only those with enough strength and experience do livestock handling.No work with animal when tired.Knowing the animal behaviour.Be careful when leading animals and handle lead lines properly.

    15. POLLUTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS

    Management of this dairy project will ensure that animal wastes, chemical waste, dead animals, odors, noise from machinery do not harm theenvironment and will abide by the laws concerned with environmental pollution. To control pollution and environment following measures will betaken:Handling Dairy Livestock Waste:

    Objective of handling livestock waste is to control odors, flies and rodents etc. Normally, a dairy cow of 500 kg weight is expected to produce 18kg manures daily (.098 kg N/day, .0163 kg P/day, 0.635 K/day) (87% moisture) 0.66 ft3, or annually 6.8 tone of manure. Manure is valuable as afertilizer. With the increasing cost of chemical fertilizer and increasing awareness about the benefits of natural fertilizers, the animal manure hasbecome more valuable. It is expected that manure will be properly converted into compost and utilized or sold. This will avoid pollution and willincrease the profits also.Disposal of Dead Animals:i) Dead animals if any will be disposed within 24 hours after death. This will be done in such a way that no hazard is created.ii) Disease may spread from dead animals to people to other animals. Always treat dead animals as though. They are diseased. Truck trolly/bullockcart used to haul dead animals will be disinfected after use. The vehicle will be leak proof and preferably covered.

Some of the emerging technologies in dairy farming are listed below around when an opportunity arises to use/try the proventechnologies, it will be availed/tried on small scale and after suitable modification (if required) these will be adopted at this farm also.i) Embryo Transfer Technique (ETT): Over the past 20 years, the role of embryo transfer technique (ETT) has grown from that of being research toolto becoming an economically important component of dairy industry. Prior to ETT, a cow was limited to produce 8-10 calves over its productive lifetime, but through ETT non-surgical procedures on donor dam could produce from 10-30 calves per year. The ETT has made possible the availability offrozen embryo developed from superior parents. In India, the technology is available at NDRI and NDDB. Commercial exploitation has been initiatedby these organisations.ii) Use of protected proteins in the ration of high yielding dairy cows. To economic ration of high producing and for proper utilization of nutrients thistechnology will be used while formulating rations. Information is available at NDRI and NDDB.iii) Ammoniation of straws to increase its nutritive value. This technology improves the nutritive value of poor quality roughages and has potential toeconomize feeding of straws. Information on this technology is available at NDRI, Karnal and will be utilised.

    iv) Least cost feed formulations using computer. Different programmes are available to reduce feed formulation cost information available at NDRIand NDDB.

    Management of this dairy project is expected to remain in touch with R&D organisations in India and abroad for updating its technologies fromtime to time.17. MARKETING MILK AND DAIRY ANIMALS
