Approximately, 80 percent of the milk is produced in rural areas.
In addition to milk, rural areas have major contribution to the meat
production.
They don’t give colostrum to calf b/c it cause constipition, diarrhia etc
Unfortunately, in rural areas smallholder dairy farmers could not get actual
production of animal and the value of milk because;
i. they don’t know the requirement of animal as they only give green gross
to animals and think that it provides all animal’s requirements including
water.
ii. They don’t know about different productions of milk by which they can
increase value of milk such as Ice cream, Youghart, Cream etc.
iii. And they sale their milk to person who come to their village and purchase
milk in lowest value.
