This document discusses the dairy industry in Rajasthan, India. It notes that Rajasthan has the largest dairy herd in India and is the largest milk producing state. The main breeds kept are buffaloes, indigenous cattle, and crossbred cows. Dairy provides an important source of income for farmers. To increase productivity, the document recommends improving breeding, providing balanced feed and fodder suited to the region, improving animal health, and maintaining animal records. The structure of the dairy cooperatives in Rajasthan is also outlined.

11. Rajasthan
 Rajasthan is the largest state in the
country in terms of geographical
size 342 thousands sq. Km
 The milk production in Rajasthan in
the year 2012-13 was 13941
thousand tonnes (including milk
production by goat).
 The average milk yield of bovines
in Rajasthan (in KgPD) is given in
the table below:
Maximum Milk production is from
buffaloes followed by indigenous
cattle
Particulars Milk Yield (KgPD)
Milk production (000

Crossbred cows 7.67

Local cows 3.67

Buffaloes 5.62

12. Dairy in Rajasthan
 Dairy has also been the source of
liquidity and insurance against
crop failure in Rajasthan.
 Farmers in Rajasthan realize
60%-70% of the consumer price
from the dairy products
 Rajasthan Co-operative Dairy
Federation (RCDF) Limited
organizes and administers most
of the Rajasthan milk
cooperatives.

13. The Structure
Federation- RCDF
16 Milk Unions
DCS- Dairy Cooperative Society

14. Livestock in Rajasthan
 The main wealth of the desert lands of
the west and north consists in the vast
herds of camels, horned cattle, and
sheep which roam over the sandy
wastes and thrive admirably in the dry
climate”.
 Livestock breeds originating in
Rajasthan form basis of livestock
industry in other countries. (Example;
Tharparkar, Kankrej, Gir cattle)
 Have even proven superior to exotic
breeds (Example: Sirohi goat versus
exotic Swiss goats)
 Raika also keep Nari Cattle-
 Undocumented breed
 Kept in large migratory herds
 Immune to diseases, except FMD
 Dual-purpose breed

15. Camel: on the way to
extinction
 Camel population is on rapid
decline; thousands of female
camels are being sold for
slaughter at Pushkar market.

16.  Due to improper feeding and no
grazing policy- we have less
productivity per animal
 Owing to the climatic conditions
of Rajasthan- hard to maintain
exotic breeds like HF or Jersey
 Indigenous breeds are more
suited to the climatic and
geographical condition and are
less disease prone but they need
to be reared properly

17. 1. Increase number of
milch animals
2. Increase milk production
per animal
