Abstract
Dairy farming is an age old practice and
generally farmers keep 2-3 milch animals to meet
out the family need as well as for sale by
converting free feed stuff available in their field
into milk. This provides the female members of
the family to generate a considerable amount of
income for their family expenses. When the
members face risk like, animals are not in milk
for months/years together ie. Dry animal, death
of a lactating animal, increasing feed cost and
infertile animal leads to the reduction of the
household income and would probably force the
family to abandon rearing dairy animals. Improved
breeding services, health care with low cost
balanced feeding practices may be helpful to
overcome these risks and when the farmers
adopted the scientific technologies related to
feeding and breeding the possibilities of
occurrence of risks will be minimized and
assist to manage the occupation in a profitable
manner.
