1.IS IT ADVICEBLE TO START A DAIRY FARM.

I suggest you to study your market. Reports are there " in AP there is a surplus production of milk" in recent times. Milk federation has announced two day holiday for milk collection.

2.IF YES-SHOULD I START WITH COWS OR BUFFALOWS & HOW MANY.
If your market is Khova industry or icecream industry then go for buffalows

3.DO I GET SUBSIDY FROM NABARD & HOW MUCH.
Nabard has suspended on dairy 3 months back.

4.WHICH BREEDS OF COWS OR BUFFALOWS ARE ADVISABLE IN THE AREA MENTIONED BY ME.(peak summer temp = 40 to 43 deg approx & winter temp is 16 Deg during nights & 24 to 28 at day times)

Murra, neeliravi good breeds of buffalows. You can good buffalows in Karnal,Rohtak Haryana

5.IF I START WITH 10 CATTLE & SELL THE MILK TO Example-HORLICKS FACTORY,WHAT WOULD BE THE PROFIT I EARN PER MONTH.

As a thumb rule you can make a profit of 3 to 5K/animal/month depending on your expnse and yeild of animal

6.What are the other points/factors should i consider before startion a Diary farm.

Availability of green fodder, availabilty of water, availailty of labor etc.

Your valuable guidance will be highly appreciable[/QUOTE]
