Production Traits Scenario within Unorganized Dairy Farms in Jaipur Region of Rajasthan

Abstract

The goal of this research was to determine the many important production traits of dairy animals that influence dairy owners and dairy businesses in Rajasthan's Jaipur region. The primary data was gathered from 50 unorganized dairy farms in five districts of the Jaipur region: Alwar, Dausa, Jaipur, Jhunjhnu, and Sikar. The age at first calving, lactation duration, dry period, inter-calving intervals, lactation yield, and dry off time of milch animals were among the production traits investigated. These are economic indicators that represent the overall performance and features of a certain breed of animal. The study reveals that in the dairy farms of Jaipur region, the age at which the first calving was recorded was about 31, 35.2 and 42 months in cross bred/exotic cows, local cows and buffaloes respectively. Similarly, lactation Length was estimated to be about 289 days, 253 days and 296 days; the average dry period was recorded to be about 64 days, 86 days and 95 days; and the average calving intervals was about 377, 394 and 405 days. In conclusion, dairy owners should be encouraged to get skilled about understanding the scientific managerial practices to maintain the sound production traits status among their milch animals.
