Dear Shri.Dhanu,

In starting stage its better to keep 10 cows, learn the art of cow
farming. Avoid brokers while purchasing cows. Avoid farms too. Imagine
i have a farm and you are coming to buy cows. i will give the cows
which are non productive or having some incurable disease. Better to
go with a reliable farmer friend who knows how to select cows. A fat
cow may not give good milk i mean more quantity. Good cows are
available at kaverippattinam, near krishnagiri, after hosur,
Bangalore- Salem route or a place called Kariamangalam, near dharmapuri.The cow market is on tuesdays early morning say by 6 am to 9 am.. You may have to negotiate hard.

You need a cow shed with sloped floor towards the back of the cow. A
mild slope for the water to drain (say 1 %). If slope is too much, it
will be dangerous for cows, human beings and for pregnant cows. A cow
needs a standing place of 2 meter length and 4 feet width apart from
the feeding manger in front of the cow 1/2 metre.The feeding manger
should be in the shape of the alpabet ‘C’ turned to the left.

You don’t need any special permission from any govt body to start
dairy farm. The building (cow shed) needs building permit as per your
plan from the local panchayat. There is absolutely no harm in using
machines. You will get good, clean, hygienic milk without froth from
the machine.

For 10 cows if you need a single can machine with oil free vacuum pump
and oil free pneumatic pulsator. 1 or 2 people can manage.

Having a bulk milk cooler is a good idea because milk will not get
spoiled. (Not recommended for 10 cows). But if you have the facility
to sell the milk as soon as it is milked, you don’t have to spend
money for buying a cooler. Please do not buy local coolers, buy it
from reputed companies only.

Milking machines normally works on electricity and it has a milking
can with 30 litre capacity. Buy only good machines with pneumatic oil
free pulsator and vacuum pump. We are in that business. It’s better to
have generator back up as during milking time you need power back up.
Never buy machines with old /outdated technology which works with the
sound of a steam engine in today’s world. Make sure it presses only
two teats (pulsation in opposite teats, one in the front and another
at the back) and not pressing all the four teats which is technically
wrong thing to do, how we milk our cow with both hands.

Money is there from the front of the cow ( milk) and back of the cow (
cow dung conversion to organic manure or vermi compost with
earthworms- you make vermi compost by leaving good earth worms- its
having good demand in places where vegetable
cultivation/flowers/coconut/where ever is there chemical fertilizer is
used.)

Maintaining buffaloes is good but not recommended for beginners. Keep
cows, learn the art of dairying, and then you can venture into
buffaloes. They yield less compared to cows, but as the fat percentage
in milk is more you may get more money for their milk per litre cost.
(Buffalo curd is tastier).

When they become old you dispose it off or give it to some goshala.
When they are dry, inseminate them if they are in good health. For any
cow dry period is there.

Milking parlour(suitable for larger herds,say 200 numbers +) means milker will be
standing in a pit and cows will stand in a platform and the milk from
its udder will get collected in a SS pipe in the centre and falls
finally to a bulk milk cooler or collecting vessel. No milking cans
will be there. Milk from the udder of the cow will go the bulk
milk cooler untouched by hand. The milk given by each cow can be measured using
milk meters installed in the SS pipeline. You can measure and record
the yield of each cow when you do it this way but it’s expensive. You
need a small trolley machine with 30 litre can cluster assembly with
oil free pneumatic pulsator. With one can you should be able to milk
10 cows in one hour. For cleaning milking equipment like milking cans
you need acid and alkaline detergents. Soap is ruled out as milk will
get the smell of soap.

I am importing machines from turkey which is ISO certified and
manufactured as per European norms. You may consult a chartered
accountant who has experience in preparing agri project reports. I
visited turkey last year to learn more on dairy farming.

Drinking bowl fixed in front of the cow, bowl made of SS, ensures that
your cow gets good clean drinking water whenever it needs, from the
overhead tank. Water starts flowing when cow puts it head inside by
the lower jaw of the cow pressing the lever inside the water bowl. A
good cow requires about 100 litres of water a day.

Calf bottle- for calves, you can feed required quantity of milk
through the feeding bottle. Its better to avoid to leave the calves
for drinking milk from the cow's udder as it may bite and injure the
cow. if pain is there cow will not give you milk.

With Chaff cutter you can cut CO3 grass (which grows up to 7 feet
height, may be more too) to small pieces. For 10 cows hand driven is
more than enough.

Keep in touch.
