It is estimated that herds of cattle worth $18.2 million are reared and 82% of these animals are raised in an extensive system but Nigeria spent about $1.2 billion on milk importation, this indicates that the nation is still far from sustainability. The study examines the management practices of dairy farmers, sources of information, challenges, and factors that influence milk production in the study area. The study area covered Southwest, Nigeria. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 293 respondents. Data were analyzed using descriptive and influential statistics. The result shows that the majority of the respondents were between 51-60 years, married, with no formal education, and had 21-30 years of farming experience. The majority produced an average of 11-20 liters of milk per day, radio was their main source of information, challenges faced by dairy farmers were the health of the animal, climate change, and breed of the animals. The factor influencing the farmers’ decision is the milking of animals (P>0.032). It is concluded that dairy production in the study area is not thriving as expected due to the above challenges. Therefore, dairy farmers need more orientation, government support, and training on the intensive management system.

Dairy farming plays an important role in improving the economy of farmer in the country. A survey study was conducted to sea the socioeconomic status of farmer, animal status and dairying practices in the periurbon and rural area of Katni district of Madhya Pradesh. Five blocks of Katni district were selected purposively for the survey study. Five villages from each block which possess sufficient cattle and buffalo population had been considered for the study. A total of 500 cattle and buffaloes rearers were selected from the district (20 Farmers from each village). A questionnaire was prepared and data were collected from individual cattle and buffalo owner through personal interview regarding the farmers age, education, land holding, fodder cultivation, herd size and milking practices of buffalo. Survey data revealed that the maximum surveyed respondents were below the age of 50 years and majority of them were either illiterate (23%) or educated up to junior school level. The most of the buffalo rears holding 1-2 hectare of land (35%) fallowed by medium (23%) and marginal (20.6%) farmers holding 2-4 ha and less then 1 ha land respectively. The large farmers holding above 4 ha land was less (13.6%) while landless were only 7.2%. Most of the respondents were not practicing the cultivation of green fodder and animal feeding mostly depends on wheat straw and paddy straw. Respondents occasionally provide common salt and rarely mineral mixture to their animals. Most of the farmers were having up to 10 animals in their houses. Majority of the buffaloes with respondent were medium yielders (49.2%) fallowed by poor (31.2%) and high yielders (19.6%). On the basis of our findings, it can be concluded that less educated, dominant population of low yielding animals, poor feeding and management practices are the main constraint of buffalo raising in the district.
