Annual Report 2019
Innovative approach of the farmer: After joining the training program under the guidance of Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Shahjahanpur, Mr. Mishra sold his low producer buffaloes as 15 numbers and for that earning to purchase six high yielding murrah buffaloes and one Sahiwal cow, he started his dairy farm adopting scientific practices:- Strict vaccination schedules Regular deworning and dipping Scientific feeding and watering Storing medicines for emergency use Artificial insemination technique Producing clean milk Cultivation of fodder crops- Hybrid jowar fodder + fodder miize during kharif and Berseem / Lucerne + oat during rabi. He is maintaining continuous contact with KVK, Dept. of Animal Husbandry officials for seeking advisory services and benefit of schemes.
Output: Before joining KVK training, the production of his buffaloes was very poor as he was getting only 4-5 liter of milk/buffalo/day and his expenditure was more on animal health. He is now getting 10-12 liter of milk per buffalo/day. He is selling about 80 liter milk per day and keeping milk of cow for family consumption. Addition of new high yielding buffaloes increased his milk production from 40-45 lit/day to 85-90 lit/day. He currently supplying milk to nearby Powayan market @Rs.40.00/lit His monthly gross income is Rs.96, 000/-. Besides increased milk yield, he is also benefitted by the KVK in getting scientific guidance on feeding and management of buffalo and cows, receipt, preventive health care, first aid for his animals and feed supplements.
Outcome: Two rural youth of his village established dairy farming due to his motivation and 9 milk producing farmers from surrounding villages joined him to guidance.
His expectations: Now he is extending his efforts to register this group as a co-operative society. KVK is providing its all possible support to make this endeavor successful. To fetch remunerative prices for their produce, this group is looking forward to open their own outlet in Powayan.
Impact: Now, Mr. Mishra maintains 12 adult buffaloes, 2 cows and their followers in his herd and ensures that at least 7-9 buffaloes are in milk throughout the year. Additional income has helped him to convert a temporary shed in to a permanent tiled roof house with sufficient space for each animal. His family is also enjoying a good socio-economic status in the village and they are all leading a comfortable life. His whole family feels indebted to KVK Shahjahanpur for bringing happiness and change in their life. Mr Mishra has become a live example and role model for a number of unemployed youths. Many farmers like Mr. Mishra in Shahjahanpur district are enjoying benefits of dairy farming on scientific lines under KVK guidance.
