• Per cow milk yield : increase
by 100%
– 500 kg /year in 1951 to
– 1100 kg / year in 2010
• Farming: Extensive, low input
• Herd Strength: 1-3 cows per

(Jersey / crossbreds) for dairy farming
– Develop a special support system for
dairy enterpreunership
• Address fodder problem
– Make available high yielding fodder crop
seeds (Sabzar Oats, legumes)
– Silos for Conservation of greens for winter
feeding
– Enrichment of poor quality crop residues
– Manage Community Grazing lands
• ICT in dairy Development
Who to do?
• SKUAST-K

– to produce foundation seeds of fodder crops
– Technology for animal waste management to
• Improve profitability
• Organic farming
• Energy (biogas)
– Package of practices for commercial dairying
• Deptt A H
– Animal / Herd Registration
– Outreach to farmers
– Disseminate germplasm
– Health Cover
– Feed management
• Govt:

3600 lts /lactation
Problem: Dearth of proven bulls in the A.I.
Chain (30 vs 230)
Solution: e-link SKUASTK, DAH and
farmers to pursue for
• Utilize resources properly
• ONBS to built elite Nucleus herd
• Scientific digital data recording

Can we bridge the gap?
NO-- Why?
• Squeezing land resource
• Loss of common grazing lands
• Winter stress
• Low genetic potential
• Feed fodder scaricity
• Extra-vaganza Socio-cultural
practices
• Labour intensive
We can only reduce it
• Horizontal growth- limited
• Vertical growth- Potential to be
