Need help to understand Dairy business

[saquib465]

Hello,
I am a PhD student in organic chemistry, I am thinking to quit my studies and start a small scale dairy farm may be 10-20 animas to start with.

Is it logical to start dairy farm since I have no idea what could be the net profit of this business. Could you please let me know how much I have to invest for instance for one buffalo/cow (including feed, medicals etc) and what profit should I expect after one month.

I would also be happy to take help from consultancy services.

Thank you for help.

FIRST of all one need to note the ammount of investment to start a dairy business BANGALORE is suitable for having cows instead of buffaloes the cost of cows i dont have much of an idea however buffaloes from gujarat cost RS50000/ each and from andhra region they are in the range ofRS15000 TO 20000 THE BENCH MARK BEING cost per litre of milk you need to have a minimum of 10 acres of land for growin legumes as well as para grass plus other parpernalia of housing shed milking shed the specifications i will furnish at a susequent time . for a novice you can approach govt farms or military dairy where you can get a reasonable ratehalf the product you can buy heifers and other half either pr3egnant or milkers in this way one reduce the expenses to a greeat extent
