This paper is an attempt to estimate the resource use efficiency of cattle and buffalo milk production in Haryana. Hisar and Karnal districts were selected for collection of the primary data of a total sample size of 200 farmers pertaining to year 2007–08. Human labour was optimally utilized in buffalo milk production in Karnal but underutilized in Hisar. Human labour was underutilized in crossbred cows in Karnal. The technology in form of cressbred cows discerned not only scope of additional milk production with appropriate mix of green fodder and concentrates inputs in feed ration but also provided opportunity for enhancing marginal productivity of surplus labour to an extent.
