Dairy farming has been transformed into an industrialized system
creating optimal integration between: the production unit (the cow)
technologies and equipment (engineering)
the operator (the farmer)
and the production environment
(the dairy farm)
suitable animals
sustainable for the Agro-climatic zones and socio-cultural niche of the state.
Vision of modern dairying On-farm integrated system development for Kerala with SOP Development
High tech- conducive Herds:
(Beta Casein?)
Cow benefits:
a) Improve overall cow health b) Less feet and leg problems c) Lower somatic cell counts d) Increased production e) Lower culling rates f) Increased conception rates
Labor efficiency and Mechanization Optimum Land Management : Bio technological tools viz:
embryo manipulations, breed bar-coding
Floor to reduce foot injury, Clean skin and udder Temperature control Cheap and affordable Encourages cows to take rest –Energy saving
Heat stress� reduction, correct feeding and feeding practices
Ceiling for sheds Mist sprinkling Green fodder Reducing radiated heat Fans and air circulators
Larger production units operate at lower costs implement more advanced technologies / systems, which are out of the reach of small farmers.
Bio gas to replace LPG gas use in dairy
Bio gas to run power generator to energize milking machines and light and heating
Bio gas slurry with better nutritive value for better fodder production
Ecoterrorism and vanishing small holders & Indigenous germplasm
