Abstract

Livestock plays a vital role in Indian economy. In India, large number of population is dependent on livestock for their livelihood. India has vast store of livestock breeds but milk productivity is still low in the country as compared to many countries. Various livestock species contributes differently to the income of poor and marginal farmers but among different livestock species, cattle and buffalo are largely maintained by farmers to earn their livelihood through sale of milk. There is need to adopt new technologies and package of practices by farmers to enhance the income from rearing of livestock. These include breeding, nutritional, management and health interventions. Dairy technologies such as processing of milk and augmentation of nutritive value of milk are needed to be adopted to increase the income of farmers. Organic farming and Integrated Farming System supplement all other interventions in enhancing the returns to farmers.
