Hello Sir
Construct shed on dry, properly raised ground.
Avoid water-logging, marshy and heavy rainfall areas.
The walls of the sheds should be 1.5 to 2 meters high.
The walls should be plastered to make them damp proof.
The roof should be 3-4 metres high.
The cattle shed should be well ventilated.
The floor should be pucca/hard, even non-slippery impervious, well sloped (3 cm per metre) and properly drained to remain dry and clean.
Provide 0.25 metre broad, pucca drain at the rear of the standing space.
A standing space of 2 x 1.05 metre for each animal is needed.
The manger space should be 1.05 metre with front height of 0.5 metre and depth of 0.25 metre.
The corners in mangers, troughs, drains and walls should be rounded for easy cleaning.
Provide 5-10 sq. metre loaf space for each animal.
Provide proper shade and cool drinking water in summer.
In winter keep animals indoor during night and rain.
Provide individual bedding daily.
Maintain sanitary condition around shed.
Control external parasites (ticks, flies etc.) by spraying the pens, sheds with Malathion or Copper sulphate solution.
Drain urine into collection pits and then to the field through irrigation channels.
Dispose of dung and urine properly. A gobar gas plant will be an ideal way.
Where gobar gas plant is not constructed, convert the dung alongwith bedding material and other farm wastes into compost.
 

Thanks for your mail can you suggest from where I can pick cattles planning to buy native breed(local) & then to expand it.
Any Suggestion for milking machine
plan is to start with 15 to 20 cattles.
My project will be in15kms near to chikmagalur

Dear Mr. Khan,

I would like to know if you have any contacts on sale of plain agriculture lands on Belur to Mudigere Road & Belur to Chikamagalur Road. May be 2 to 3 Kms. inside from the main village road around Rs. 1 Lakh per acre. I am looking around 20 - 30 Acres.
