Please find below answers for your queries:-

1. Major market should be creamy layer of society i.e. niche market. The milk and other organic products should be promoted as the most healthy food material available in the town. People with high disposable income, affluent and educated families who care for their and their children's health is our target group. People who wish to purchase healthy food and who are lifestyle conscious will definitely like to consume natural milk which is free from hormones, toxins, antibiotics and has lowest bacterial count.
2. a 250 cow farm will produce roughly 3500 liters of milk per day (mean production in a year). Marketing technique will depend on number of posh areas in the town and their distance from each other. In case the posh area has high - rise multy story apartments then direct distribution is the best option. In case posh area has lot of bungalows/ villas in large area and number of posh ares are too many then channel sale through high-end local retailer is best. In case, majority of affluent class people live in single locality then a company owned retail store is best with pre-paid cash card system. In case if real estate cost is either very high in such an area or good store location is not available then a mobile milk vending van or an automatic milk vending machine at the best kiryana shop could be worked out.
3. Organic milk has no competition as a product. But creation of awareness is a task which must be carried out on a regular basis. People should be encouraged to watch real time farm activity through IP camera at the point of sale so that they can visualize clean milk production from healthy and disease free cows. [/U]Grass to Glass[/B] concept is going to be a competitive edge.
4. Project cost for a fully automated , system driven 250 cow unit is around five crores.
5.Can be discussed over phone.
6.Holstein Friesian / CBHF
7.300 days
8.40 acres for 250cows and 120 acres for 1000 cattle.
9. We are running a dairy farm of 300 cows since 1979. I believe this answers your question.



Thanks and regards,

Hello sir, Greetings, First of all I would like to welcome you to the world of givers, I believes that farmers are the people who always like to give things. I don't know weather this piece which I'm going to give you as an advice is appropriate, please pardon if you think it is. Please don't take this as an actual business where you want to reap immense profit. As i called you in the beginning, I believe that this is the community of givers. Means treat the society as your family. Because the day we start thinking them as our money, we start thinking for the ways to increase our profit. I am a new admission in this group and the community. So have only some ideas, not actual practical knowledge. Use maximum green and natural fodder, avoid supplements and chemicals even in medicines, we have our own medicines which we used before these things came into scene. Try to add more native variety of cows and other animals or plants which you are planning to have. I heard that installing music devices or facility to play music for cows at least two times a day will increase the health and milk. try to give cows a freedom to eat what they want, like leave them in a ground or such. that too will have enough difference.
I think I said something which is there in my mind, I'm welcoming your comments and feedback.
