Introduction to Livestock Management:
In India livestock is mostly kept on the farm for milk production but not by every farmer. In early times a class of the village community used to keep milch animals for selling milks to customers within and outside the village to urban population who depended on the supplies coming from the rural areas. Now, the situation has changed and even the upper caste Hindus have entered into the dairy business.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
Now-a-days big dairies are found in metropolitan towns like Mumbai, Calcutta, Chennai. Array milk colony is an urban establishment for the production of milk to supply milk and milk products to the population of greater Bombay. In the villages the farmer right from big to small keep at least a pair of bullocks for the field operations.
Goat keeping is also found to be a very profitable enterprise specially for the marginal and small farmers which is supposed to be very economical to keep as it is said that “Goat is the poor man’s cow.” Goat is kept both for milk and meat purposes.
There are breeds which are exclusively kept for meat like barberi and for milk known as jummnapari. There are other breed also. Piggery has assumed great significance but still not very popular for every class of the community but is exclusively reared by a particular class of community.
Livestock form an integral part of the farming system in the European, Australian, American and African as well as in many other countries of Asia. In India cow is a sacred animal and is worshipped as mother cow because she sustains the health of a child as well as expectant and nursing mothers, convalescing individuals and old persons.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
In the vegetarian society this is the last source of animal protein. Milk in its fluid form is enjoyed by all and sundry. Milk products like khoa, pannier, dahi, cheese, malai are a source of a number of sweet meats and curry preparations. Goat milk was the favorite drink of Mahatma Gandhi and he kept and looked after the goat, at his Ashram.
Besides, cows, buffalo and small animals like goat and sheep are kept for milk or meat or wool, specially wool in case of sheep. Broiler chicken are popular meat dishes at marriage parties, birthdays or other get together. Eggs of poultry or ducks are common at breakfast tables.
Pork, mutton and beef are common non- vegetarian diet but beef animals are not slaughtered in India because of the sentiments of the major religious community of India, In continental countries, USA, Africa, Canada, and many Asian countries beef is a very popular dish and these live-stocks are maintained for this purpose and their slaughter is supervised in the most scientific manner.
Under Indian agricultural system mixed farming is not a common practice and cattle farms are rarity in India. The country has predominantly a good number of small farms below two hectares in area and under the land constraint livestock keeping for milk production on large scale is not feasible except a couple of heads of milch cows or buffaloes.

About Dairy Farming and livestock sectors
Dairy farming is a part of agriculture, practiced to produce milk which is generally from dairy cows, and also from sheep, camel, and goat.
Milk is defined as the lacteal secretion obtained by the complete milking of one or more mammalian animals.
Dairy industry is a highly important component of food industry, which buys raw milk refrigerated for farmers to normalize by transforming and distributing it.
Usually, the milk is processed in a dairy factory or on the dairy farm itself.
From hand milking the cows to machine milking, milk production has developed immensely with latest technologies.
Dairy farming has been done all over the world, but most of the countries which produce milk consume internally.
New Zealand is one of leading countries which export dairy products, whereas India is the largest milk producing country in the world.
Indian dairy sector contributes a major share towards the total gross revenue from livestock sector and holds an enormous potential to bring about rapid economic growth, particularly for the benefit of the weaker sections and the rural poor. Livestock production has been, and will remain for many decades, one of the most important economic and social activities of human culture in developing countries where hundreds of millions of people depend either directly or indirectly on livestock-based activities
Dairy Farming in India
In 2010, dairy industry is the second largest food industry in India in terms of revenue behind meat industry. In 2010, the largest dairy company operating
Dairy farmers produce largest staple food in the world i.e. Milk.
The quality and safety of milk and its derivatives are directly related to conditions of hygiene and environment
. Good hygiene practices help to improve the quality and value of the product and fundamentally determine the success or failure of a dairy farm.
At present, the protection of health and animal welfare are provided by a comprehensive program of udder hygiene and processes in livestock bio-security program. These programs help dairy farmers to:
Optimize milk yield, quality and price of milk
Improve operating profits
Decrease the infection pressure on the dairy herd
Maintain a high level of animal welfare
The function of cooperatives in dairy farming is studied along with the impact of the cooperatives in dairy farming.
Milk production is one of the most important elements of agriculture in India. During the past 5 years, farms in India increased their total production by 86%. The level of milk production in 2011 increased by 5.4 tons and was 136.4 thousand tons (104.1% compared to last year). Average yield in the region is 2,717 kg per cow, which is 272 kg more than previous year. At the same time dairy farming area in contrast to the poultry industry is the sector in which the performance is far from self-sufficient (Ruricola, 2009). Milk production per capita in the region is 200 kg per year.
Dairy farming is growing and modernizing in India.
