Abstract
ABSTRACT
The Garo Hills of Meghalaya was selected for the present study with the
objective to work out the net returns from milk production of different breeds.
Altogether 200 farmers were selected for the present study. Out of this, 142, 31,
24 and 3 farmers were rearing local cattle calving annually (Group-I), local cattle
calving alternate year (Group-II), cross bred cattle (Group-III) and both breeds
(Group-IV) were selected respectively by stratified random sampling technique.
The average daily milk yield per milch cow per day was 0.34, 0.30, 9.48 and
3.34 litres group I, II, III and IV respectively. The average net returns were
negative for both non-descript local cattle breeds (-Rs. 0.13 and -Rs. 4.48), and
highest for crossbred with Rs. 247.41 per milch cow per day followed by the
farmers having both breeds (Rs. 65.51)
Keywords: Milk Production, non-descript local cattle, Net Returns.
