In the Uttarakhand Himalaya, landholdings are small and

fragmented. Agricultural farming is carried on the narrowpatches of terraced fields and depends on climate and

confronted with many problems. Under such circumstances,

livestock farming provides a base for livelihood of the poors.

Chirag took new initiative towards the empowerment of peopleliving in hilly region through dairy farming on 3rd April 2010

with special focus on women.

The most common livestock species are cows, buffaloes,

bullocks and goats. Milk produced from buffalo and cow, whichis sold at the Milk collection centres (MCCs) of the nearby

villages and is the partial source of income of the people.

Bullocks are mainly used for plowing the fields. Goats are

reared at a large scale,and used for meat purpose.Monday, February 03, 20143

A CASE STUDY.............QUALITY ANALYSIS OF MILK

Village Name:- Kholseer

Block/District:- BageshwarName of Shop:- Bhatt GeneralStore

Shopkeeper Name:- Gopalgi BhattDate of observation:- May17,2013

CASE STUDY

For the collection of milk a

MCC have framed which have

capacity of 30-35lt/day milk

with fifteen suppliers/day

approximately.

Adopting old tradition method

i.e. lactometer was a major

constraint in spite of Milk

analyzer m/c.Prices were given

with the framed range of lactose

decided by middle men without

differentiating the cows and

buffaloes milk.



17/23

From the qualitative data it appeared that goats were reared only

for immediate cash need. Cow, Buffaloes were usually kept bythe villagers to create partially source of income. Bullocks were

used for plowing the fields.

Most of the cow breeds were enrolled as hilly (89%) so milk

production was low. While, the high yield variety (HYV) jerseyand Holstein cows were enrolled only 5% and 4% respectively

at high altitude areas due to feasible climatic conditions and

availability of fodder.

Most of household (58%) out of 260 were using dry grass fortheir animal, 24% household were using cattle feed, 15%

household were using choker while rest of 3% household were

using Dhan, wheat, Maize etc. for their animals.


CONCLUSION


18/23

There were various sources of fodder agricultural waste,

private land, reserved forest, van panchayat and by purchase.

But agricultural waste (42%) was found the most significant

source of fodder. From the qualitative data it appeared that leaf

litter was used as bedding material for livestock.

Women income were found minimum as 4.2% (Rs 8144.53) in

June month while maximum in November month as 14.1%

(Rs.27491.28).Reason behind this was that collection of milkduring November month was highest so income will be

proportional.

It is clearly depicted that household consumption of the

villagers enroll high expenditure of 40%, while found least oneducation for the childrens, animal husbandry feed and

medicine for animal and children as 10%.



19/23

Only 3% suppliers were found regular due to high milk

production while rest of suppliers were intervallic in which 24%

suppliers were giving milk from 8-10 months, 27% suppliers

were giving milk from 5-7 months and rest of 46% suppliers

were giving milk from 1-4 months.

Result shows that only 5 %( 08 cows) cows were found

vaccinated out of 158 cows. From the qualitative data it

appeared that Less ratio of vaccination was due to absence of

veterinary doctors in the hilly areas.



20/23

Loan facilities should be provided to the SHGsmembers

to purchase better breed of animals.

Long life span grass (Auns) should be planted so that they

will be enables to get it at any weather.

programmes.

increase the milk production.

A Receipt should be given to the farmers per day tomake liability (faith).
