Overview

Dairy industry or milk industry is a category of agriculture. It is a very popular enterprise related to animal husbandry, under which milk production, its processing and retail sales are done. For this, work is also done for the development of cows, buffaloes, goats or some other types of livestock. Dairy farming includes breeding and care of milking cattle, procurement of milk and its processing into various dairy products. India lives in villages. More than 72 percent of our population is rural and 60 percent of the people are engaged in agriculture. In about 7 crore farming households, one out of every two rural households is associated with the dairy industry. According to the important statistical data related to Indian milk production, 70 percent of the milk supply in the country comes from small/marginal/landless farmers. Cows are more equitably distributed than agricultural land in India. Dairy-industry has a major role in strengthening the rural economy of India. It has been recognized as an important component of socio-economic transformation in the country. There is an interdependent relationship between agriculture and dairy farming. Agricultural products provide food and fodder for cattle while cattle provide nutritional security goods as well as produce a variety of milk products like milk, ghee, butter, cheese, condensed milk, milk powder, curd, etc. India has a special place in the international market and is the largest producer of milk and the second largest producer of milk products in the world. Incidentally, India produces milk at the lowest cost in the world at 27 cents per liter (63 cents in the US and 2.8 in Japan). Like the mineral water industry, the milk processing industry has ample potential to grow at a very rapid rate, if the current trend continues. India will become the leading producer of milk products in the world with triple growth in the next 10 years. Employment Opportunities Under this industry, employment opportunities exist in both government and non-government sectors. The National Dairy Development Board (Association) is the major public establishment in the region located at various locations, engaged in farmer-led commercial farming activities. There are now more than 400 dairy plants in the country where a variety of milk products are produced. They require well qualified and well trained personnel for efficient operation of the plants.

Dairy Dairying is engaged in milking of animals and other related commercial and industrial activities. Cows and buffaloes are often milked in this. The animals were generally milked by hand and the herd size was quite small, so all the animals were milked in an hour - about ten per milker. With industrialization and urbanization, the supply of milk has taken the form of a commercial industry, with completely different specialized breeds of cattle being developed for dairy. Initially, more people were employed as milkers, but soon with mechanization this work was done by machines. Historically in dairy farms, milking and processing were done simultaneously at the same time and place. People milk the animals by hand; Due to the small number of them on the farm, milk is still milked by hand. By holding and pressing the udder with hands, milk starts coming out, this process has to be repeated continuously to remove the milk, by bringing the udder down with fingers and thumb from the upper end, milk starts coming out. The milk duct opens at the end of the udder by the action of the hand or fingers in the (upper) part, and the movement of the fingers allows the milk which is held in the duct to flow out of the udder. Each time half or a quarter of the udder is emptied to the capacity of the milk duct. The act of unfolding has to be repeated rapidly using both the hands. In both methods, the milk that is stuck in the milk duct comes out and (sitting on the ground) the milker collects the milk into the bucket by resting a bucket between the knees, usually on a small stool that the milker sits on. Traditionally, cows stand in a field or yard while milking. The heifer, a small cow, is also trained to stand still at the time of milking. In many countries, cows are tied to a pole at the time of milking. The problem with this method is that it relies on these calm, docile animals, as the back of the cow cannot be controlled.

Dairy Farm Work When a large number of cows are required to be milked, they are brought to a shed or shed where straw feeding is provided in their stalls and on this pretext they are milked. One person can milk more cows in this way, skilled workers milk about 20 cows. But wait for your milking turn by standing in the cow yard or in the shed it is not good for the cows, their time should be spent in grazing the grass as much as possible. It is generally restricted that milking should be completed twice a day in a maximum of one hour and each time in half an hour. It does not matter whether a person is milking 10 cows or 1000 cows, it should not take more than three hours daily to milk one cow. Machine milking, milk storage facilities (VAT), bulk milk transport, cleaning capacities, and transporting and transporting cows from sheds to barns, as the size of the herd becomes larger. There should be order. Farmers found that at the time of milking, the cows left the grazing area and went to the milking area on their own. This is not surprising because during the milking season, the cows probably start feeling uncomfortable due to the udder hanging from the heavy milk load and relieved by the loss of milk so they go to the milking place. With a large herd of animals, the health problems of the animal also increase. In New Zealand, two methods have been used in this problem. The first drugs were improved animal medicine (and government regulated drugs) that farmers used. The second drug was created by the Veterinary Club where the farmers together hired a veterinary doctor and received his services whenever needed throughout the year. It was up to the doctor to keep the animals healthy and the farmers to at least call him, not the farmers to call him whenever needed and pay him regularly for the service. Most of the dairy farmers would milk twice a day with full regularity and use some high production drugs to milk up to four times a day so that the weight of the milk stored in the udder of the cows would become lighter. This daily cow milking routine goes on for about 300 to 320 days per year. Some small herds are milked once a day for the last 20 days of the production cycle, but this is not normal for large herds. If a cow is not milked immediately her milk production capacity starts decreasing and during the rest of the season her production capacity almost dries up and she continues to eat without any production. However, the practice of once a day milking is widely practiced in New Zealand for its benefits and lifestyle. This has proved to be effective because the decline in milk yield is at least partly balanced by savings in labor and costs. This has been compared to intensive farm systems in the United States where milking is performed three times per day or more per cow to reduce labor costs. Farmers who have contracted the supply of liquid milk for human consumption (as opposed to processing butter, cheese making and hence - see milk) often manage their herds so that they produce milk throughout the year. Stay or maintain the required minimum milk production. This is done by mating cows outside their natural mating time so that a cow gives maximum production when they are in the herd and this rotation continues throughout the year. Farmers in the Northern Hemisphere who keep cows in the barn almost all usually manage the herd throughout the year in such a way that there is continuous production and income throughout the year. Cooperative dairy systems in the Southern Hemisphere do not allow productivity for two months because their system has no production in the spring month and maximizes hay benefits as the milk processing plant gives bonuses in the dry season (winter) So that farmers can be taken without stopping till mid-winter. It also means that cows are relieved of milk production when they are most pregnant. For some years dairy farms have been financially penalized for overproduction so that they are unable to sell their produce at current prices at any time of the year. Artificial insemination (AI) is common in all high production herds.
