dc.description.abstractThe present study entitled, “Economic analysis of milch bovine enterprises in Haryana” have been undertaken with the following specific objectives: 1. To study the spatio-temporal changes in stocking pattern, uptake and pattern of human labour utilization of milch bovines in Haryana. 2. To work out the major milch bovine species wise economics of milk production in rural households across regions. 3. To analyse the overtime changes in production, consumption and disposal pattern of milk and milk products across regions. The present study is based on the data recorded under the cost of cultivation scheme of principle crops in Haryana for the block years 1991-93 and 1999-2002. -viii- The stocking of cows marginally declined while stocking of buffaloes marginally increased (except on small farm) across categories during the period of 1991-93 and 1999-2002. Likewise, the stocking of bullocks and he-buffaloes declined in overall categories. On the contrary, rearing of cows declined across categories and overall during the periods under study. The hours spent by female labour in eastern regions increased during the periods under study across categories and overall. Except on large farms the same declined in western region and Haryana. The female labour utilization in Haryana was the highest in summer season followed by rainy and winter seasons on small and overall categories. But medium and large farms engaged highest female labour in rainy season. The quantity of dry fodder fed across categories was the highest in summer season followed by the winter and rainy season. The large farms fed more concentrates followed by the medium and small farmers. On the whole in Haryana, feeding of green and dry fodders marginally declined while concentrates substantially increased overtime. It implies that concentrate feeding has increased temporally across regions in Haryana due to stall feeding pattern on the one hand while for the fat rich buffalo milk production on the other. The items of fixed cost included interest on total initial capital investment, depreciation (on shed, equipments and Animal) and imputed value of family labours. Among, these costs the imputed value of family labour constituted the lion’s share across categories and overtime in eastern and western regions as well as in Haryana. Again, feed and fodder costs constituted the lion’s share across categories and over time in eastern and western regions as well as Haryana. In Haryana, the milk production in overall category was the highest in winter seasons followed by rainy and summer seasons during the two block years. It however, increased between two block years. The disposal pattern of milk production in Haryana was in terms of fluid milk and ghee across farm categories and overtime. By and large, fluid milk consumption across seasons and farm categories have increased temporally.en_US
