“…As they were reported only 1 per cent of dairy farmers were followed the practice teat dipping. It was very higher in present study also regarding use of dipping solution result of present study was totally opposite to the result of Bafanda et al, (2018) who reported that not any single dairy farmers were using potassium permanganate solution as a dipping solution might be due to associated with location of farms. Present study was on specialized dairy farms whereas former study was from rural farms.…”

“…Mostly the farmers using milking machines were adopting the post-teat dip with potassium permanganate solution. The findings look better than the study [16], which found that not a single respondent in Jammu practiced post and pre-milking tip dipping with potassium permanganate solution. Regarding adoption of mastitis diagnosis kit only 3.50 (21/600) and 3.20 per cent (19/600) farmers reported full and partial adoption.…”

Mastitis is considered to be one of the expensive diseases affecting the profitability of milch animals through production losses. Various mastitis preventive techniques such as teat dip (TD) and mastitis diagnostic kits (MDK) are recommended to prevent intra-mammary infections and diagnosis at sub-clinical stage. Despite these innovations, very low adoption has been observed at field level, leading to higher prevalence of clinical mastitis. To understand the constrains faced by the dairy farmers in adopting mastitis preventing technologies, a cross-sectional study was carried out in six districts of Punjab, India. The responses were collected through personal interview schedule from 600 dairy farmers selected through multistage random sampling technique. The constraint analysis by Garret's Ranking Technique (GRT) revealed that lack of awareness about the technology, lack of technical knowledge and technical skill, inability to take decisions are the major constraints hindering the implementation of simple beneficial technologies. This study identified a dire need of extensive extension efforts to aware the farmers about their major problems at farms and scientific dairy farming technologies. Extension education can play a pivotal role to motivate farmers at individual, group and mass level for accelerating technology use to achieve optimum and sustainable quality production for maintaining social, economical and psychological welfare of society.

“…India ranks first place in cattle and buffalo population but it stands second in milk production (7.15 litres/Cow/Day). With the introduction of General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), marketing of milk to any foreign country has become a reality [3]. Milk is a highly perishable commodity.…”

Majority of India`s economy is based on Agriculture and it accounts for 18% of India`s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). India is the largest milk producer and ranks second in milk production in the world. Even though India ranks first place in cattle and buffalo population, it stands second in milk production. One of the reasons for less milk production would be lack of knowledge and hygienic milking practices among the dairy owners and the milkmen. The objective of the study is to assess the extent of knowledge and practices on clean milk production among livestock owners and milkmen in Singur. Using sample size calculation formula, 100 respondents were interviewed with a pre tested questionnaire. The data were analyzed using simple statistical procedures. The study revealed that majority of the respondents (70%) were of middle age (35-50yrs), having education qualification up to Secondary level (84%). Among the respondents, 77% were small holder dairy farmers having herd size up to 3 cows. More than 60% follow stripping technique but practise complete milking of udder. None of the respondents followed the dry cow therapy and checked for abnormality in first strip of milk. A major proportion of the respondents (88%) do not have knowledge on milk borne zoonoses which is alarming. In conclusion, it is recommended that awareness needs to be created among dairy farmers regarding clean milk production with emphasis on the risks associated with people not following hygienic practices.
