ThesisItem Open Access Aquaculture Potential of Penaeus vannamei (American White Prawn) in Indian Culture System(TANUVAS, 2005) Senthilkumar, S.M.; TANUVAS; Selvakumar, K.N.; Joel, R.ThesisItem Open Access Assessing The Production Potential Of Dairy Farming And Constraints In Milk Production In Tamilnadu(Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, 2006) Pandian, A. Serma Saravana; TANUVAS; Selvakumar, K.N.; Thirunavukkarasu, M; Meganathan, N; Subramanian, ADairying in India has emerged as an important sub-sector, accounting for nearly two-thirds of the total livestock contribution to GNP with an encouraging growth rate of five per cent over years. Through improved breeding, feeding and management programmes, there has been marked improvement in the country's milk production and productivity of milch animals. The dairy industry in India has taken a rapid stride during the past three decades, which were absurd earlier. India, the current leader in the dairy world ranks first in milk production with a production level of 90.7 million tonnes of milk per year. The production of milk has gone up more than five fold since independence, resulting in near doubling of per capita availability of milk. The per capita availability of milk increased from 124 grams per day in 1950-51 to 232 grams per day in 2004-05 (Economic Survey, 2005-06). The value of output of milk and its products is approximately 50000 crore rupees and that of dairy industry as a whole is about 1,05,000 crore rupees. In 2004-05 the livestock subsector accounted for about 27 per cent of the Agricultural Gross Domestic Product (AGDP), which has increased gradually from 14 per cent in 1980-81. India possesses one of the largest livestock populations in the world. In 2003, the country had 185 million cattle, 98 million buffaloes, 124 million goats, 61 million sheep, 13.5 million pigs and 489 million poultry. Fifty seven per cent of world’s buffaloes and 16 per cent of the world’s cattle are found in India. India ranks first in respect of cattle and buffalo population. Dairy development in India has been acclaimed world over as one of modern India’s most accomplished developmental programme. The states like Gujarat, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamilnadu are producing surplus milk. Productivity performance of dairy industry across the country has registered an annual growth of 17.14 per cent for the country as a whole. As a result of Operation Flood,presently, more than 1.10 lakh village-level co-operative societies, functioning with about 13 million producer members, are procuring more than 200 lakh kgs of milk per day. These cooperatives form a part of the National Milk-Grid, which links the milk producers throughout India with consumers in over 700 towns and cities (Economic Survey, 2005-06). The Grid not only bridges the gaps between the seasonal and regional variation in the availability of milk, but also ensures a remunerative price to the producers and a reasonable price and quality for milk and milk products to the consumers.ArticleItem Open Access Constraint Analysis of Livestock Markets in Southern Districts of Tamil Nadu(Indian Veterinary Association, 2016-09) Murugan, M; Vasanthakumar, S; Edwin, S.C.; TANUVASA study was designed and carried out in Tirunelveli, Thoothukudi, Virudhunagar and Kanyakumari districts of southern Tamil Nadu with the objective of identifying and ranking the constraints in livestock marketing in rural livestock markets. Garrett’s ranking method was used to analyze the constraints of livestock marketing. The analysis of data revealed that high entry / exit fees for animals, dominance of livestock market intermediaries and unorganized pricing mechanism were the major constraints perceived by livestock farmers, whereas, unorganized pricing mechanism, high entry / exit fees for animals and dominance of livestock traders were the major constraints for livestock traders. Regarding livestock market licensors, high lease licensing fees, high entry / exit fees and dominance of livestock traders were the major constraints of livestock market marketing.ThesisItem Open Access Consumption Pattern of Livestock Products in Rural and Urban Tamil Nadu(TANUVAS, 2013) Swaminathan, A; TANUVAS; Prabu, M; Pandian, A.

The data were collected from 300 sample farmers scattered over Ramanathapuram, Sivagangai and Pudukkottai Districts. Analytical techniques such as Gini concentration ratio, Cobb- Douglas production function, Stochastic Frontier production function, Quadratic programming, Linear programming techniques and percentage analysis were used in the study. The results of the study indicated that the cost of production of sheep per annum inclusive of imputed value of family labour was Rs.18619.76 per farm in landless farmers category followed by marginal farmers (Rs.18550.11), small farmers (Rs.17311.24) and large farmers (Rs.17116.53) with the overall figure of Rs.17899.40 per farm. The gross income from sheep farming was highest in landless farmers (Rs.31437.84 per farm) followed by large farmers (Rs.29059.80), marginal farmers (Rs.25512.17) and small farmers (Rs.24004.75) with the overall gross return of about Rs.28344.95 per farm. The results of the Gini’s concentration ratio analysis showed that the agricultural source contributed more to inequality of income with the Gini ratio of 0.2472 followed by Non-farm income (0.2019) and dairying (0.1719). Theincome from sheep farming was found to be more stable and it contributed less income inequality with the Gini ratio of 0.096. The production function analysis in sheep farming revealed that the co- efficient of multiple determination (R 2 ) for overall farmer category was 0.884 indicating that 88.4 per cent variations in the mutton production could be attributed to the selected explanatory variables and among the variables, the flock size was the important factor influencing the sheep farming which was statistically significant at one per cent level followed by labour charge and health care charges. The marginal value productivity analysis of overall farmers category showed that the addition of one sheep to the flock would yield an additional return of about Rs.1099.80 per annum and investment of one rupee towards health care charges would yield an additional return of Rs.18.97 per farm per annum. The stochastic frontier production function for overall farmer category showed that the explanatory variables flock size, labour charge, health care charges and farm experiences had influenced the sheep production positively and were statistically significant and the estimated elasticity values for these variables were 0.1428, 0.2109, 0.2266 and 0.2261. The estimated variance ratio (v) for the function showed that farm specific variability contributed to about 52.70 per cent of the differences between observed and the maximum production frontier output. The farm specific technical efficiency was worked out for different categories of farmers and was about 88.28 per cent, 90.78 per cent, 92.86 per cent and 92.95 per cent respectively for landless, marginal, small and large farmers category. The results of Quadratic programming showed that the number of sheep per farm should be 47, 72, 73, 110 and 84 in landless, marginal, small, large and overall farmers respectively. Linear programming results showed that, for optimizing the income, marginal farmer should have 0.55 hectare of paddy, 0.30 hectare of groundnut, 0.02 hectare of cotton and 1.00 number of buffalo. The normative sheep flock size was found to be 45 sheep. If the marginal farmer were to utilize the available resources in the above said manner his net income per annum would be Rs.45405.00. However, small farmers should have 0.53 hectare of paddy, 0.71 hectare of cotton and 60 sheep for optimizing their income. If the small farmer were to utilize the available resources in the above said manner his net income per annum would be Rs.57780.00. In case of large farmer, the production of paddy should be in 0.54 hectare, cotton in 1.25 hectare and maintain 95 sheep for optimizing their income. If the large farmer were to utilize the available resources in the above said manner his net income per annum would be Rs.95095.00. The analysis of gender involvement in sheep farming revealed that the involvement of females were more to the tune of 53.67 per cent, 58.67 per cent, 57.67per cent, 68 per cent, 55.33 per cent in different management practices such as feeding, grazing, housing, hygiene and cleaning and taking into veterinary hospital respectively. The results of the constraint analysis on sheep production and marketing showed that inadequate grazing land availability and absence of organized marketing agency were the major constraints in the study area.ThesisItem Open Access Economic Analysis Of Sheep Production In Dry Land Farming System Of Southern Tamil Nadu(Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, 2005) Palanichamy, V; TANUVAS; Selvakumar, K.N.ThesisItem Open Access Economic Analysis of Swine Production in North-Eastern Tamil Nadu(TANUVAS, 2014) Raja, M.
