“…No respondent was feeding concentrate feed as mash or boiled form in the study area. These findings were corroborated with Manohar et al (2014) who reported that majority (84.37%) of dairy farmers soaked concentrate mixture before feeding in the study area. On other hand Madke et al (2006) reported that soaking of concentrates was followed by only 16.0 per cent of famers in Bhandra district of Maharashtra.…”

“…Majority (92.0%) of peri urban dairy farmers practiced hay making while 98.0 per cent of urban farmers didn't follow this practice. This was mainly due to the prevailing cropping pattern in the peri urban areas Rathore and Katchwaha (2009) and Manohar et al (2014) reported none of the famers practiced hay making in their study areas.…”

A field survey was conducted in peri urban and urban areas of Hyderabad city of Telangana state. The data was collected from hundred farmers selected from ten mandals by simple random sampling method for the study. The data on feeding and breeding management practices was collected by personal contact by using a pre-tested questionnaire. The study revealed that farmers followed colostrum feeding to new born calves, fed concentrates in soaked form before milking to the lactating animals, practiced hay making, provided extra allowance during advanced pregnancy and fed mineral supplements. Proper heat detection and insemination of the animals at right time was significantly (P<0.01) higher in peri urban areas than urban area. Majority of farmers followed combination of A.I and natural service for mating of their animals. Most of the farmers followed pregnancy diagnosis at three months in the peri urban (82.0%) area than in urban (36.0%) area. Majority of the dairy farmers bred their animals between 3-5 months after calving in urban and peri-urban areas. Overall farmers were well aware of scientific and organized herd management practices.Key words: Breeding, Dairy farming, Feeding, Periurban dairying, Urban dairying. Climatic conditions:Hyderabad experiences the semi arid tropical climatic conditions. The average annual rainfall is 810 mm. The south west monsoon contributes 74% of annual rainfall and north east monsoon contributes 14%. The temperatures reaches 45 ºC during summer season and with the onset of monsoons during June month temperature drop and varies between 26º C and 38º C.Farmer selection: From each mandal ten dairy farmers were selected by simple random sampling method, thus a total of hundred dairy farmers were selected for the study covering urban and peri urban areas of Hyderabad.

Nitrogen pollution from cattle production in India: a review of the social, cultural and economic influences

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Livestock plays a crucial role in food and nutrition security. However, livestock production accounts for 0.18 of global greenhouse gas emissions. India has one of the highest livestock densities globally, mainly produced under traditional systems. Specifically, the emission and particularly nitrogen losses from cattle in traditional systems cannot be ignored. Nitrogen emission is substantial when cattle roam free and waste is not collected or managed efficiently. This paper reviews the literature to piece together the available information on nitrogen emissions from cattle in India to synthesize the evidence, identify gaps and contribute to further understanding of the problem. At the same time, the paper highlights the solutions to reduce nitrogen pollution from cattle production in India. The main findings are that most cattle in India are not reared to provide meat protein. The implication is that reactive nitrogen per capita consumption is lower than most developed countries. However, there are substantial inefficiencies in feed conversion, feed nitrogen use and manure management in India. As a result, nitrogen losses and wastage are considerable in the different production systems. Furthermore, the review suggests that social, cultural and economic factors such as convergent social behaviour, urbanization, regulations, changing consumption patterns, the demand for cheap fuel sources, culture and religion influence the production systems and, consequently, the emissions from livestock. Suggested solutions to reduce nitrogen pollution from cattle production in India are improving livestock productivity, adopting better feeding, manure and pasture management practices and using behavioural nudges.
