DAIRY Dairy is a commercial establishment for processing or selling milk and milk products. Dairy farming has the potential to provide sustainable livelihood for small and marginal farmers while also giving food and nutritional security. It has emerged as one of the attractive commercial activities for young generation in Sikkim. COMMON BREEDS OF DAIRY CATTLE IN SIKKIM: EXOTIC DAIRY BREEDS 1. JERSEY

CARE AND MANAGEMENT OF DAIRY ANIMAL Sound management practices are essential for profitable dairy farming. Important points of management techniques for different age groups are given below age wise to make dairy farming more efficient and productive: CARE AND MANAGEMENT OF HEIFER 1. Under good management practice, the heifer can be bred at 18-20 months of age. 2

2. Shift the heifer in a separate shed about 6-8 weeks before calving or provide sufficient space. 3. Feed 2 - 3 kgs of concentrate daily along with forages in adlib. SYMPTOMS OF HEAT: Early detection of heat and timely insemination (i.e. 12-18 hrs from onset of heat) is important for an effective breeding practice. The various symptoms of heat are: 1. Frequent bellowing. 2. The animals which are in heat lick and smell other animals. 3. Mounting on other animals. 4. The animals will stand still when other animal try to mount. 5. Frequent urination. 6. Clear mucous discharge from the vulva. 7. Swelling of the vulva will be seen. 8. Reddening of vulvular mucose membrane. CARE AND MANAGEMENT OF PREGNANT ANIMAL 1. Extra concentrate feed of 1.25 to 1.75 kgs should be provided for pregnant animal. 2. Avoid slippery conditions, which causes the animal to fall receiving fractures, dislocation etc. 3. Feed one kg extra concentrate during last 8th week of gestation. Feed laxative about 3 - 5 days before and after calving (Wheat bran 3 kgs + 0.5 gms of Groundnut cake + 100 gms of mineral mixture of salt). 4. Symptoms of delivery may be observed i.e. swelling of external genetalia, swelling of udder, usually majority of animals will deliver without any help. If there is any difficulty, provide veterinary help. 5. Placenta will normally leave the cow within 2 - 4 hours after calving. If not happens, then veterinary aid may be taken. CARE AND MANAGEMENT OF MILCH ANIMAL: 1. With proper feeding and care, a cow will come to heat after 60 days. of calving. The cow may be inseminated in the 2nd heat i,e, 60 days after calving. th 2. Milking should be stopped from 7 month of pregnancy till calving. 3. Vaccinate the cows against important diseases regularly. 4. Check for symptoms of mastitis routinely. 3

1. CARE AND MANAGEMENT OF CALF: 1) The Naval should be tied about 2-5 cms away from the body and cut 1cm below the ligature and apply Tincture Iodine or Boric Acid or any other antiseptic agent. 2) Wash the cow’s udder and teats preferably with diluted potash solution and dry it before feeding the colostrum. 3) Feed colostrum i.e. the first milk of the cow for the first 3 days @ 1/10th of body weight of the calf. 4) Dehorn the calf within 7-10 days. 5) Deworm the calf at 10th , 40th, 70 and 90 days of age followed by six months interval regularly. 6) At 8-9 weeks of age, male calf should be castrated, if not required for breeding purpose.

FEED The important feed nutrients are proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals, vitamins and water. Which should be supplemented through: a) Roughages Green fodder like Desmodium, Cowpea, soyabeans, beans, peas, Hybrid Napier, Setaria, maize, Oats, Guinea grass, nevara, dudelo etc.and dry fodder like hay, silage and straw. b) Concentrates Maize, oats, grams, by-products of grains and oil seeds like ground nut cake and mustard cake (pina),mineral mixture, vitamins, salts etc. Guideline for preparation of 100 kg feed: 1. Crushed maize2. Oats / wheat / rice- bran (Dhuto) 3. Oil cakes (Pina)4. Mineral Mixture5. Salt-

42 kgs 35 kgs 20 kgs 2 kgs 1 kg 100 Kgs

Feeding Schedule of feed & fodder: 1.Maintenance Ration for 250 kgs body weight animal is 1.25kgs of concentrate and 25-30 kgs chaffed green fodder. 2.Lactating animal - 1 kg extra feed for every 2.5 3 kg milk production and 30 kg / adlib chaffed green fodder. 3.Pregnant cow- 1kg for every 2.5-3 kg milk production + 1.5kg extra th from 6 month of pregnancy till parturition and 30 kg chaffed green fodder / adlib. 4.Breeding bulls- 1.5 -2kg and 30-35 chaffed green fodder/ adlib. During Winter :5-6 kgs of chaffed green fodder and 4-5 kgs dry fodder for adult cattle. Silage: If available, start with 0.5 to 1 kg first week, 5-6 kgs on second week, maximum 10 kgs in due course of time. Intake of Green fodder/ dry fodder should be reduced accordingly. 7

Feeding Calves:st

1 to 3 day-feeding of colostrum “the first milk” is must. th th th 4 day onwards the calves are fed with whole milk @ 1/8 to1/10 of its body weight till weaning. Excess feeding of whole milk may cause calf-scour. After 15 days- 1 month of age: tender leaves of legumes (proteineous like grams, pulse variety) can be fed. Effective Mirco-organism (E.M.) liquid APPLICATION IN CATTLE PRODUCTION E.M. Is a brown concentrated liquid produced from the cultivation of 80 strains of beneficial microorganisms collected from natural environment of India. Advantages of E.M. Technology in Livestock Production: Reduces cost inputs more efficiently. Improves both milk quality and quantity. Clean shed, less flies, ticks and less disease incidence. Maintains better health condition of farm animals. I. E.M. Bokashi as feed additive for computed / commercial feed 1. Heifer-30 gm/1kg feed/day. 2. Milking Cows-30-50 gms/1kg feed/day. 3. Dry Cow-10-30gm/1kg feed/day. 4. Breeding Bull-10 gm/1kg feed/day. Conventional feeding system: If cooked feed (Kholey) is given. Rate of bokashi is 300 gm/10kg cooked feed is given/cow/day. II. Drinking water: Dilute EM @ 10 ml/10 litre of water daily. III. Washing of animals and cleaning of shed: Dilute EM @ 100ml/10 litre water and wash animal twice a week.

DISEASES Haemorrhagic septicaemia(Bhyagutey): It is an acute infectious bacterial disease which occurs during extreme environmental conditions, malnutrition and long distance transportation. It generally occurs during rainy season.

BLACK QUARTER (Char-chare): Symptoms: 1) Fever (106 - 108 F). 2) Lameness in affected leg. 3) Crepitating swelling over hip, back and shoulder. 4) Swelling is hot and painful in early stages whereas cold and painless later. 5) Recumbency followed by death within 12-48 hrs. Treatment: Contact veterinary aid immediately, timely treatment saves the animal. Prevention : by routine vaccination.

ANTHRAX (Ban): The disease is communicable to humans i.e. zoonotic disease. Symptoms: 1) Sudden rise in body temperature (104-108 F). 2) Bloat or tympany. 3) Dysentery or diarrhoea. 4) Blood in milk. 5) Abortion in females. 6) Trembling. 7) Bleeding from all natural openings like anus, nostrils ,ears vulva etc after death. The blood is terry coloured and does’nt clot. 8) Sudden death in peracute case. Treatment: Provide veterinary aid immediately. Control: 1) Identification and irradiation of affected animals. 2) Movement of animals from infected area to clean area should be stopped. 3) Deep burial of dead animals with lime. 4) Destroy contaminated fodder by burning. 5) Thorough disinfection of cattle shed by using 10% caustic soda or formalin or 5% phenyl. 6) Animal suspected to be died of anthrax should never be handled with naked hand and cut open for post mortem. FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE: Khuret (Local) Symptoms: 1) Fever (104o-106of) for 24-48 hrs. 2) Loss of appetite. 3) Drop in milk yield. 4) Blisters / vesicles and ulcer on tongue, dental pad and mucosa, 5) Profuse salivation. 6) Painful mastication. 7) Vesicles and ulcers develop in inter-digital space (hoofs) and on the coronet. 8) Lameness. 10

9) Stamping of feet. 10)Recovery within 8 days, if complications dose,nt occur. Treatment: Provide veterinary aid Control: 1) Isolation of all affected animals. 2) Contaminated bedding and fodder should be burnt. 3) Cattle shed must be cleaned and disinfected with 1-2% caustic soda or formalin. 4) Thorough disinfection of all the utensils and clothes of attendants. 5) Calves should not be allowed to suckle affected mothers. 6) Vaccination. MASTITIS: (Thunelo) Symptoms: In acute cases the udder is hot, swollen and painful, fever, loss of appetite, milk may be yellowish or brownish and it may contain flakes or clots. In chronic form, there is no swelling of udder. Udder becomes hard due to fibrosis, milk may show visible changes on careful examination, reduced milk yield.

Treatment: Provide veterinary aid immediately and milk should not be used for human consumption for at least 72 hrs while undergoing treatment. Control: 1. Isolation and treatment of affected animals. 2.Treatment of all teats of all cows at drying. 3.The healthy non-infected cows should be milked first and known infected cows should be milked at last. 4.The udder of cow and hands of milker should be washed with antiseptic solution before and after milking. 5.The floor of the milking shed should be washed with running water. 6.Use of proper milking method i.e. full-hand milking followed by stripping. 7.Maintain hygienic conditions in cattle sheds. 8.Proper disposal of mastitic milk. MILK FEVER: Causes: 1. Excessive loss of calcium in the colostrum and milk. The colostrum is rich in calcium. 2. Decreased absorption of calcium from the intestine at the time of parturition. Symptoms: Excitement, tetany, muscle tremors, and recumbency in delayed cases. Treatment: Provide veterinary aid immediately. Control: 1.Incomplete milking after calving. 2.Injection of Calcium soon after calving is effective. 3.Avoid stress of transportation during advance pregnancy. 4.Maintain appetite at calving. 5.Give roughages to stimulate rumen function.
