Factors affecting quality and quantity of milk in dairy cattleDr. IRSHAD A
The document summarizes factors that affect the quantity and quality of milk produced by dairy cattle. It discusses physiological factors like breed, age, lactation stage, and environmental factors like nutrition, climate, and management practices. Higher quality milk has a lower somatic cell count and bacterial content. Milk quantity is most impacted by breed, age, lactation stage, dry period length, calving season, and nutrition. Milk composition varies by genetic factors, breed, lactation stage, milking practices, season, and health issues like mastitis.
This document provides information on the care and management of calves, heifers, milking animals, dry animals, and pregnant animals. It discusses feeding recommendations at different stages, housing requirements, common health and management practices like dehorning, vaccination, mineral supplementation, and more. The key points are feeding colostrum within the first 30 minutes, providing calf starter and hay by 2 weeks, raising heifers for desired frame and weight, meeting nutrient requirements of milking animals, allowing recovery of rumen and udder during dry period, and moving pregnant animals to a calving box.
The document provides information on making quality hay and silage from grass to maximize returns from grasslands. It discusses that silage involves fermenting chopped grass into a stable lactic acid product stored anaerobically for years. Hay involves sun-drying grass to a moisture content below 15%. Crops suitable for each are discussed. The basic methods for making hay and silage are outlined, including important considerations like moisture levels and avoiding mold growth. Benefits of silage include less space needed for storage and a stable preserved feed source.
This document discusses approaches to augmenting milk production through improved feed and fodder management. It provides information on various aspects of feeding dairy cattle including the nutrient requirements of cattle at different lactation stages and milk yields. Tables are included that specify the recommended quantities of green fodder, dry fodder, and concentrates for cows and buffalo at different production levels. The document also addresses fodder crop production, ration formulation, and strategies to ensure adequate availability of feed resources.
Dr. P. Ravikanth Reddy discusses the importance of properly formulating animal rations to meet their nutritional requirements in a cost effective manner. Imbalanced feeding can result in low production, poor health, and lower profits for farmers. Properly formulated rations should be based on the animal's age, weight, function, and environmental conditions according to industry standards. The ration should contain a balanced mix of nutrients from various feedstuffs selected based on availability, price, and nutritional composition.
This document provides guidelines for feeding various types of livestock including cattle, calves, sheep, pigs, and poultry. It discusses the types and amounts of feeds that should be provided at different stages of an animal's life from newborn to adult. Key recommendations include providing colostrum to newborn calves and piglets, transitioning calves to solid feed by 1 month, and increasing concentrate and nutrient levels for pregnant and lactating animals. Guidelines are also given for grazing, feeding growing animals, and storing feed properly.
The document discusses cyber extension as an innovative approach for disseminating agricultural information using information and communication technologies. It defines cyber extension as using online networks and digital media to facilitate disseminating agricultural technologies.

The Intensive Agricultural District Programme (IADP) was launched in 1960 with Ford Foundation assistance to rapidly increase agricultural production in pilot districts. It aimed to concentrate financial, technical, and administrative resources to achieve a self-sustaining increase in productivity. The program was initially implemented in 140 blocks across 7 states and later expanded. Key activities included supplying credit, inputs, marketing support, infrastructure, and education. Implementation involved preparatory and operational phases with farm and village planning. The program was financed through contributions from Ford Foundation, GOI, and state governments and evaluated for effectiveness. Significant achievements included improved productivity benefiting farmers while limitations included a narrow scope and over-reliance on external resources.
Silage making involves the controlled fermentation of green fodder crops with high moisture content under anaerobic conditions to preserve nutrients. Key requirements for silage include moisture levels between 60-65%, anaerobic conditions to allow lactic acid bacteria to grow and produce lactic acid lowering the pH, and compact packing to exclude oxygen. Silage and haylage provide benefits for cattle producers by preserving surplus forage when rainfall hinders hay production and helping reduce total feed costs. Common crops used for silage include corn, sorghum and small grains.
This document discusses integrated farming systems (IFS), which combine various agricultural enterprises like cropping, animal husbandry, fisheries, and forestry together. IFS aim to maximize production and income while efficiently utilizing resources through recycling waste from one component as inputs for others. Some benefits of IFS include increased profits and sustainability through waste recycling, stable income from multiple enterprises, and better utilization of labor and resources. Common IFS components include crop cultivation combined with livestock, poultry, aquaculture, horticulture, apiculture, or agroforestry systems.
This document lists several agricultural development programs implemented in India between 1960-2000 including:
- The Intensive Agriculture Development Program (IADP) launched in 1960 to provide loans, seeds, and tools to farmers.
- The High Yielding Variety Program (HYVP) launched in 1966 to increase food grain productivity through adoption of improved varieties and inputs.
- The Small Farmers Development Agency (SFDA) and Marginal Farmers and Agricultural Labor Agency (MFALA) launched in 1973 and 1974 respectively to provide technical and financial assistance to small and marginal farmers.
India has the largest livestock population in the world, including cattle, buffalo, sheep, goats, pigs, and poultry. Livestock makes significant economic contributions, providing 25.6% of agricultural GDP and supporting the livelihoods of over two-thirds of rural people. However, livestock productivity is low compared to global averages, with much potential for improvement. Increased demand for animal products presents opportunities for the livestock sector, but challenges remain around feed, health, infrastructure, and market access. Addressing these challenges through policies, technology, and financing could further enhance livestock's role in poverty alleviation and the rural economy.
The document provides information about the College of Agriculture in Bhawanipatna, Odisha. It details the establishment of the college in 2009 under Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology. It provides statistics about current student enrollment, staffing levels, and facilities available at the college including the library, nursery, and student plot. It also outlines some of the extension activities conducted by faculty members and achievements of the college and its students over the past year.
The livestock insurance scheme provides insurance for small farmers and those dependent on dairy. It covers death or permanent disability of animals from diseases like foot and mouth disease or drought. The premium is 50% subsidized by the central government. It is implemented in 300 districts with Rs. 40 crores allocated in 2011-12, but only 6% of livestock is insured. State livestock boards implement it and select insurance companies. Claims require a veterinary certificate and tagged ear of the insured animal.
This document discusses hay making as a method for conserving green forages when fodder availability is low. It describes the steps involved, including mowing, tedding, raking and baling grasses and legumes once they have reached optimal maturity and dried sufficiently under sunlight. Losses of 10-15% of nutrients can occur during the hay making process. Proper drying and storage is important to prevent mold growth and reduce spoilage. Hay making provides a means to store forages while maintaining nutrients and quality over months until needed.
Clean milk production is important for dairy farmer profitability. It involves collecting milk from healthy cows in a clean environment to minimize contamination. Key steps include proper animal housing and hygiene, milker hygiene, cleaning milking equipment, rapid cooling of milk, and disinfecting cow udders before milking. This reduces bacterial growth and allows for safe human consumption and production of high quality dairy products.
Rural development is a complex process that aims to improve living conditions in rural areas. It requires integrated efforts across sectors like infrastructure, public services, health, education, employment and standard of living. While the government and private sector have undertaken development initiatives, rural areas still lag significantly behind cities in these areas. Effective rural development strategies require addressing issues like inadequate infrastructure, lack of opportunities, traditional mindsets, and ensuring balanced growth between rural and urban regions.
Rural areas are separately settled places away from large cities characterized by lower population density and engagement in primary industries like agriculture. A rural community has a sense of unity and religion plays an important role in village life. Rural lifestyles differ from urban ones in having limited services, public transport, and utilities. Rural development aims to improve the economic and social conditions of rural poor through collective efforts and generation of employment in farm, storage, and other economic activities while also developing infrastructure, health, education, and living conditions. It faces various challenges including traditional mindsets, lack of education, inadequate infrastructure, and economic and leadership problems. Rural development is important for India to develop rural areas holistically and empower communities.

During 2015 I worked as a teacher at a male vocational college in Saudi Arabia. As part of my post grad studies in Education management, law and policy, I had to conduct action research on value-driven education. I chose an environmental project on recycling, de-littering and land restoration, based on the issue of littering in Saudi Arabia. I involved my students by educating them and making them aware of the issue and then actively involved them to address the issue on a practical level within their community. This proposal was what I had to make to acquire permission and gain involvement from the college authorities.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.
