Hi,

Perhaps I can help you in this provided you inform me about the infrastructure you have, number of cows/buffaloes to start with, access to green fodder and the investment details.

Dear Sree46,

I want to start dairy farming with cross-breed Holstein Friesian cow of 20 (to start with and gradually to increase the number) numbers. I have 10 acre of land with orrigation facilities, where I can grow green fodder. Climate in my area is extreame (180Km from Kolkata) with summer temperature goes as high as 46-47C and winter temperature 5~6C. Electricity is avaiable in my village.

Please let me know the following information:
1) Whether exotic variety Holstein Friesian cow is available in India? What is the nearby area ( near Kolkata) where these cows could be bought?- How much a pure Holstein Friesian may cost each? How much a cross breed Holstein Friesian cow may cost? Where such cross breed HF cow available near Kolkata?

2) How much milk a cross-breed Holstein Friesian give? How much milk an exotic variety of Holstein Friesian cow give?

3) I came to know that milking by milking machine gives 20% additional milk. Also milking 3 times a day in 8 hours interval, increases milk yield by 30%. Please let me know whether same is true with cross breed Holstein Frisian cow.

4) Does cooling arrangement (fan with mist spray) during summer help increase milk yield for cross breed Holstein Friesian cow? Whether increase in milk-yield is remunerative compared to the associated cost of cooling arrangement?

5) What should be the minimum herd strength to make economical and remunerative Dairy Farm? How much it would cost me to build a shed (low cost building) suitable for such farm? How much should be the covered area per cow?

6) I came to know that green fodder could substantially reduce the cost of concentrate, thereby reduce the cost of milk production. What sort of green fodder (both leguminous and non-leguminous) can be cultivated round the year in our area? Climatic condition in my village is extreme, with temperature in summer goes as high as 46º ~47ºC and in winter it goes down to 6º ~7ºC. Rainfall is less. However we have irrigation facilities through bore-well.

7) How much dry-fodder, green-fodder and concentrate should be given to a milking cow?

8) What sort of concentrate should be fed? What it should contain? In other words how to make home made concentrate to beat the cost?

9) What about mineral mix? How to prepare it?

10) I want to do retail marketing of milk through poly-pack in Kolkata, where demand for cow milk is good. Is it required to be pasteurized before packing?

11) Do I need a chiller to preserve milk from going off? What size do you recommend and how much it would cost?

12) What cow should I purchase, namely Dry pregnant or Milking but pregnant?
13) Which one is good so far milk is yield is concerned- Freestall or Tie-stall?


Looking forward to your help and assistance in this regard,

Cordially yours,

Hai

i am shajath. i am based at salem. i have my land in Trichy dist of tamil nadu. I have finished my ground level work to start a dairy with 25 animal mainly cross breed HF. Nowadays, Cross breed HF available every where. It is hard to locate the desi cow.
cows suitable for dairy is available in the following area.

Mattagiri surrounding of Hosur Dist. A largest Governemnt Cattle Form situvated in that place. Kaveripattinam in Krishnagir Dist. Konganapuram in Erode Dist. Srirangam in Trichy Dist.

I am 100% sure that Milk is succesful Business, only if you invest your 15 hrs attention per day. Even India's largest Milk dairy gives buy-back to go for bank loan in specified dist of Tamil Nadu, they also arrange bank loan on our behalf.

Tips: one acre required for 5 animals for green fodder cultivation.

shajath
