Some context on why Koraput Diary started Own a Cow program
- The milk production in India needs to be 180 million metric tons by the year 2020. At present the total production stands at around 145 million metric tons (source: NABARD). Hence there is a shortage of pure milk in our country, resulting milk inflation, which is clearly visible in the market.
- The problem in our society is – we all want pure milk for our daily consumptions but unfortunately we don’t want to keep cows in our family/home.
- Probably, it is not a very easy job to keep a single cow & to take proper care of her on a daily basis & in urban areas it is even difficult to own a cow due to shortage of space.
- Feeding a cow which requires more than 40 Kgs of food intake every day & consumes 80-100 liters of pure water for almost 365 days a year is a very difficult task.
- There is a risk of life involved in live stocks; hence people are generally reluctant to deal with them.
- Even if some people want to raise cows it is always a difficult task to sale the milk in the market due to limitations.
- Lack of knowledge in understanding the cow & the absence of technology makes it very difficult for farmers to make dairy farming a profitable venture.
Therefore Koraput Dairy has taken an initiative to bring people together in raising/owning a cow. Given the demand for 100% pure hygiene & organic cow milk in our district & state, Koraput Dairy has setup a state of the art Dairy farm in Koraput to produce & distribute 100% pure cow milk. Breed selection of the cow is very important when it comes to milk production. In order to produce maximum milk from a cow in a lactation cycle we require High yield Cross Breed Holstein Friesian cows. Those who can produce more milk per year for a longer period of time & can take your farm to a profitable position. This is a tried and tested model & proven around the world & even in our country.
