DAIRY INDUSTRY IN INDIA

India ranks 1st in milk production with 3241 lack lit/day and per capita availability of 281 gm head/day.(2013)

In Gujarat annual milk production is 248 lack lit/day with per capita availability of 435 gm/head/day.(2013)

Milk and milk products play a vital role in the national economy.

It is the largest contributors to the gross agril. Produce.

The value of milk and milk products is worth Rs.10,50,000 million/annum. This is highest among all agril. Commodities.

Out of total milk production, buffaloes contribute 4.9 kg/day (55%);Cows 2.22 kg/day (40%) and remaining 0.41 kg/day (4.2 %) is from goat The annual milk production of our country was 43.9 million tonnes during the year 1986 – 87 and now (2003) it is 88 million tonnes. So there is an increase of 44.1 million tonnes (100%) of milk over last 16 years.

However, 90% of the total milk of the country is produced by only 12 of 28 states.

In India we have per capita availability of 281 gm milk/head/ day .

At world level it is gm/head/day and in Gujarat it is 435 gm/head/day.

In developing countries annual per capita availability of milk is 38 kg only.

Per Capita Availability/Consumption of milk in India is low. why? Reasons are

1. Though we are first in the bovine population and total milk production in the world, our human population is very large and it is increasing steadily.

2. Low purchasing power of people, because of poverty and unemployment.

3. Inadequate handling, processing and marketing facilities for milk (a perishable commodity, which gets spoiled much earlier).

However, the situation will improve in future. How?1. Increase in privatization and

Crossbreeding programme.

2. As per WTO, there are chances of entry of milk from other countries into India leading to competition, so milk will be sold at a cheaper rate.

Cattle

Buffalo

India is first in cattle and buffalo population, but their productivity is very low average Annual milk Production/head in case of Cow is only 157 kg and Buffalo 504 kg.

In European countries and USA productivity of cattle is 4000-5000 kg/head/yr , so we have introduced crossbreeding program to improve milk production of our animals.

Why indian cattle and buffaloes have low productivity ?

1.Poor genetic make up and production potential .

2. Lack of adequate nutrition/ balanced food. Small, marginal and landless houlders they feed mostly by products, weeds etc.

3. Lack of adequate health care facility. Tropical climate lots of infectious and parasitic diseases crop up but no sound vaccination- deworming programmes .

However , Buffaloes are considered as backbone of Indian dairy industry. Why ?

1.The buffalo population is about 1/3rd of the

total milch bovine population , yet they contribute 55% of the total milk production in the country.

2. If we compare cow and buffalo; gives more

milk and rich in fat (7-8% vs 4-5% in cow milk ) and total solids (16vs 13%), and the pricing of milk is based on its fat content.

4. compared to cattle , buffaloes can utilize poor quality roughage more efficiently.

5. Buffaloes are docile , hardy and resistant to heat and humidity better than exotic and CB cattle, and hence can survive under tropical conditions.

6. Permanent standing in farmers’ economy .
