Check your assumptions
Dear Manas
I very strongly recommend you to do some ground work and visit a few dairies to understand economics.
Your assumption that an animal needs just 2.5kg of feed for body maintenance is grossly wrong. In fact it would need 2.5% of its body weight as dry matter for body maintenance. So a cow which is about 300 kgs would need about 7.5 Kgs of dry matter and that is just 200% more than your assumption. Please have a relook at such important factors.
You have just started, see one cycle whether all the animals conceive on time or not..generally they would not and the dried animal need to be fed with existing income. Many people don’t consider tis costs as excel sheet which makes project reports would not give you many options. Mastitis/milk fever is another commong disease which will eat into your profits with out you even realizing it . These are all issues you need to factor in before getting into it not after.
Your assumption/claim that you would get above Rs.18 per litre is also wrong. Any animal that gives 20 lit generally would give milk of 3.5% fat -3.7% fat. Now even at best of Tirumala dairy rates which is Rs 140 per KG TS..( I hope you know double axis pricing and total solids pricing mechanism) you can get at best 16.80 to 17.08 .now that is a clear rupee less than your claim. Just go through one of your payment sheet you will understand this. Just publish one fortnight’s sheet then I would believe your claim.
There are lot of people egging you to go on..as I can assess they are mostly balcony players who will enjoy the show at your cost. You would be forced to learn the hard way. Read postings of a few people like Prateek vaish, CN Sant, Another prof from gulburga..which will educate you on right things. In fact our moderator ashwini also started posting good and valuable information off late go through them
As per publishing my details..as I see your cup is full…you are not in a position to appreciate contra view which is very necessary for learning. You are a HR fellow I need not tell you this. I will let you know my economics the moment I get a sign that you are willing to learn.
As always ..All the best.
For you dairy could be a business..for me its passion.
