The present study was conducted for crossbred commercial dairy farms in India to study the effect of various reproductive parameters, viz. milk yield and intercalving period on their profitability. The base parameters were identified under the field conditions and a base model was prepared. The milk yield and inter-caving period under field conditions were about 15 litres per day and 14 months respectively. The result indicated that profitability ratios were more sensitive to worsening ICP than decrease in milk yield. An average farm of 100 animals would continue to be profitable even if average milk yield dropped from 15 to 12 liters/day, but would not sustain if ICP increased from 14 to 18 months, thus emphasising the need to focus R&D and extension efforts on improving both, productive and reproductive traits of animals.

“…One of the most important measures of milch animal performance is optimal lactation length. It is depicted from Kale et al (2018), Kumar (2012), Manjusha et al (2016) and Meena et al (2015).…”

“…Haryana, Maharashtra and Odisha) revealed that the productive and reproductive performances of buffalos in Haryana were better than Maharashtra and Odisha whereas, the productive and reproductive performances of crossbred were found better in Haryana as well as Maharashtra than Odisha. The reproductive performance of buffalo, indigenous and crossbred cow was assessed on the parameters such as age at first calving, services per conception, service period and calving interval while, productive performance was assessed based on the parameters such as average daily milk yield, lactation length, dry period, average lactation milk yield, peak yield (Kale et al, 2018). Similarly, the reproductive and productive performance of dairy animals in Karnal district of Haryana State revealed that average daily milk yield, lactation length, lactation yield and peak yield was higher in crossbred cows as compared to buffalo and indigenous cows (Manjusha et al, 2016).…”

Background: The reproductive and productive performance play significant role in judging the qualitative and quantitative traits in a dairy animal and has direct effect on the milk production and profitability in any dairy enterprise. Methods: The present study was conducted in Jharkhand State, wherein 180 members of Jharkhand State Cooperative Milk Producers’ Federation and 180 non-member dairy farmers were randomly selected from three districts of Jharkhand. The data was collected from a total of 360 respondents using structured interview schedule. For present study, 135 crossbred, 58 indigenous cattle and 82 buffaloes were selected from the members; whereas 102 crossbred cattle, 36 indigenous cattle and 79 buffaloes were selected from non-members. Result: The findings revealed that dairy animals reared by cooperative members showed better reproductive and productive performance that their non-member counterparts. This is attributed to reason that JMF members adopted better dairy management practices due to availability of timely veterinary services, quality feed and training on improved dairy practices. Therefore, through increased participation in JMF; creating awareness and training regarding improved dairy management, adequate extension, breeding policy and financial support would further enhance the productivity among the dairy animals in the state.

Smallholder rubber agroforestry farming in the non-traditional areas of Sri Lanka: An application of assets-based livelihood capital indicator approach

This study focuses on Livelihood Capital Index (LCI) as a useful tool in assessing the livelihood assets of rubber-based agroforestry farm households. It evaluates systematically all the livelihood capitals of rubber agroforestry farm households through developing an LCI. A total of 10 livelihood assets variables were broadly classified into five livelihood capital indicators namely; human, financial, physical, natural, and social. Data collected from 220 farm households through a questionnaire survey were normalized to construct five livelihood capital indicators and LCI. The appropriate weights for the livelihood capital indicators were assigned based on the principal component analysis (PCA). The average composite LCI was 0.49 for rubber-based agroforestry farm households and the human capital corresponds to the highest livelihood assets indicator (0.15) followed by financial (0.14), social (0.11), physical (0.05), and natural (0.05). The highest average LCI was reported by the rubber-based groundnut practice (0.54) followed by rubber-based cattle (0.53), cocoa (0.51), passion fruit (0.51), pepper (0.49), maize (0.49), and banana (0.48). Except for physical capital, it also indicates a statistically significant difference in livelihood capital indicators among the rubber agroforestry farmers and other income earners. A significant difference exists in the livelihood capital indicators except for human capital among the Divisional Secretariat. The outcome of this study suggests that the use of LCI is a more analytically rigorous comprehensive tool that can assess the livelihood of rubber agroforestry farmers and enable them to be improved their livelihood assets.
